Override Exceptions
Lewiston Contractor
In Law Court Rescript

\ rescript was handed down by
the law court Thursday in the An
droscoggin county case of the Bates
Brothers Seam Face Granite Com
pany VS.. T. L. Moreau Company,
overriding the exceptions of the de-
PENDANT.
The rescript. which was drawn by
Associate Justice George NJ. Hanson
of Calais, is as follows:
Action of assumpsit on an account
annexed to the writ. to recover q
balance due for scam face granite
furnished in the construction of the
United Baptist Church at Lewiston,
at the agreed price of go cents per
square foot in accordance with the
terms of a written contract between
the parties. The jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for S174S.53.
The case is before us on general
motion by the defendant
The principal contention in the
case was over the method of ascer-
tanning the square face feet involved
in the contract. An auditor was ap-
pointed and his report was read in
evidence. The verdict was APP
parently based on the report of the
auditor, who found that the
balance due from the defendant to
the plaintiff would be $3.50 more
than the plaintiff had declared for,
by reason of the fact that the scale
bills furnished me indicate the plain
tiff had furnished 143 square feet
more granite than the amount sued
for" An error of the auditor or
printer is apparent in the amount
stated, which under the testimony
should be $3.50.
The issue was fairly tried under
instructions to the jury to which no
exception was taken. The record
fails to show where the jury erred
in calculating amounts. or were in
fluenced by bias or prejudice. We
cannot therefore say that the verdict
is manifeStly wrong.
That the verdict is larger by
eighty six dollars and SiXtN-siX cents
than the amount sued for in the writ
presents no serious difficulty in the
case. nor does defendants counsel
in his brief consider it as a vital
objection.
The error was unnoticed at the
time of the trial. The writ could
have been amended on motion, and
no doubt would have been If the
plaintiff had asked to amend.
In view of the circumstances. we
think that an amendment may be
considered as made. Clapp vs..
Power and Light Co. 121 Ne. 1856.

Motion overruled.

In conclusion he showed the prActi-

Hills. One of the things the ply
sicians are seeking to discover Is
whether mosquitoes have a prefer
ence among animals
II such preference, or a means
TO attract mosquitoes TO certain
animals can be found, a big step for
ward will have been taken. they
feel, in protecting human beings
from the pests.
Experiments have been conducted
with dogs and pigs, as well as with
COWS, horses and intrepid three dol
lar a-night youths. Recently three
COWS and horse were confined in
screened stall in which a swarm
or mosquitoes were freed. The cows
proved favorites, scoring a percent
age of 80 in the number of bites.
subsequently a youth silent all
night in the experimentation shed
between two horses. Taking ac-
count of his inaccessibility, the ply
slcians figured he should suffer COM
paratively few bites as compared
with the horses. The next morning
1t was found he had been bitten half
as many times as the animals.
Which may be a source OF consola-
tion-fOr the horses.
