ISSUE RESCRIPT
IN PENOBSCOT
DIVORCE CASE

The exceptions of the plaintiff in
the Penobscot County case of Fred
A. Littlefield VS. Bertha E. Littlefield
were overruled in a rescript per cur
lam which has recently been handed
down. The rescript reads as follows:
The Maine statute which confers
authority to grant divorces and spe-
cities adultery as cause provides
that when both parties have been
guilty of adultery it (divorce) shall
not be granted" This statute, being
plain and unambiguous. must be con-
strued as it reads. Even If the hus-
bands guilt has been condoned by
the wife, since both parties have
been guilty of adultery, no divorce
can be granted.
In the Cumberland county case Of
Henry Gilman VS.. F. o. Bailey Car
rage Co.. the exceptions of the de-
PENDANT are sustained in a rescript
drawn by Justice Deasy.
The rescript reads:
A Treasurer who in, behalf Of his
corporation signs its promisory note
made payable to himself Is not pre-
sumptively authorized to use the
note in payment of his own debt. In
an action against the corporation up
on. such note. authority to SO use It
must be shown as a part of the plain
tiff's prima facie case.
Omission to file an affidavit deny
ing signature and execution of note
sued, is a waiver of proof of sigma
ture and also of authority to sign in
behalf of the corporate maker. But,
in case of a note signed by the treas
urere of corporation and made pay
able to himself individually. such
omission does not waive proof of his
