Rescripts in Knox
and Cumberland
Cases Friday


Rescripts were handed down by
the law court Friday in cases from
Cumberland and Knox counties.
Cumberland Cases
The exception of the plaintiff Is
overruled in the Cumberland county
case of James H. Pinkham VS.. Tudor
G. Jennings.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Associate Justice Albert M. Spear
of Gardiner, is as follows:
The exceptions state the case as
follows: This was an action for
assumpsit wherein the plaintiff sued
to recover under an account annexed
to the writ and common omnibus ac-
count the sum of $4,000, for COM
mission to him for the sale of GER
tain timber or wood lot. The writ
was not attested by the Clerk of any
Court, neither was there any seal of
any Court impressed upon the writ.
The general issue was pleaded by the
defendant to the merits of the case
and filed on the first day of Octo-
Der Term, 1925 When the case was
called for trial and before it had been
opened to the jury on the part of the
plaintiff, the defendant presented a
motion to quash the writ and dis
miss the case. The motion was
granted by the Court and the writ
/ quashed."
Held: That the instrument pur-
porting to be writ was nothing
more than piece of blank paper
containing upon it's face the same
statement that appears upon the face
of a regular writ.
Held: 2. That 1t is absolutely
invalid and conferred no jurisdic-
ton upon the Court in which it was
entered.
Held: 8. That it presented no
process to the Court upon which it
could predicate an amendment of
any other action, except to dismiss
document improperly entered there
on.
Held: 4. Want of jurisdiction
when it appears upon the face of a
record can be raised by motion to
dismiss at any stage of the pro-
ceedings and cannot be waived.
The motion to dismiss was the
proper procedure and properly
granted.
Knox Case
Judgment is given for the case in
the Knox county case of State VS..
Harry M. Cole and Lewis McAuley.
The rescript which was drawn by
Associate Justice Albert M. Spear
of Gardiner, is as follows:
The defendant Cole was the only
one interested in this proceeding.
The fact pertinent to the issue may
be taken from the defendants mo-
ton for a new trial, namely: Nov
comes the defendant, Harry M. Cole
in the above entitled case, after YER
dict against him, sentence imposed
appeal to the Law Court, and the
judgment Of the Law Court against
him. but before mittimus has issued
and moved for new trial-because
of newly discovered evidence"
Held: That the entry, Judgment
for the State" completed the record
on the docket and left nothing what
ever to the action and decision OF
the Rresiding Justice at nisi prius

One of the county officials at the
court house caused considerable
amusement Friday as he related the
trouble he had in getting into his
garage Thursday night because of
the ice. He lives in an adjoining
town and got along fairly well until
he reached his own drive way. Then
as he applied the brakes to the car
it swerved and ran head on into
the bay window of the house, with
no damage to either the car or the
house. A young lady who was sit
ting in the bay window at the time
was extremely surprised at the alb
ruptness Of the visit as we'll a5 the
singular mode of attempted entrance
to the house. and 1t was some time
before she got over being startled.
