Superior court for the trial of civil
cases adjourned yesterday afternoon
after having been in session but one
day, the docket for the term being
exceedingly light. Jrdse Ray pre-
sided, The most important suit was
that of II. G. Nash W. j. 7. Shute,
decided in favor of the plaintiff. Mr..
Nash was seeking to force Mr.. Shute
to remove the water drains on the
side of the opera house building,
claiming that the water thus forced
on the top of his building was more
than his drains could carry. Mr.. Shute
commended that removal could not be
forced. as the presence OF the dlains
had been uncontested for period OF
twenty years. Mr. Nash, however,
showed that the defendant agreed to
the present line some two years ago
and won his case. The suit OF j. r.
Shute VS. j. Il. Shute over ginning
matter, mention Of which has hereto
fore been made in these columns. was
compromised. Mr.. B. F. Price. sueins
the road commission for damage to
his land when the Providence roa0
was in process Of construction, re-
covered several hundred dollars.
These three cases comprised all the
matter of interest at the term.
