MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
An Important Case.
For ten days past the Supreme Judicial
Court has been engaged in trying one of the
most important cases which has come before
that tribunal for a long time. It was the case
of Edwin S. Ilovey vs. Wm. Chase, and was
one of a series of actions brought to recover
possession of what was formerly known as
the “Mellen lot,” bounded on State, Pine and
Winter streets, and containing 53,000 square
feet of land, besides about a dozen large and
elegant dwelling-houses more recently erected
on the kit. The valuation ot the lot and
buildings is variously estimated at from $80,
000 to $100,000.
The lot in question fell to the ownership of
the late Stephen Neal, formerly of Elliot, as
one of the heirs of James Neal. Stephen was
placed under guardianship in April, 1834, but
in September, 1834, the guardianship was re
moved by Judge Potter, then Judge of Pro
be te. After the removal of the guardianship,
the lot in question was purchased ol Neal by
Eben Steele, on speculation, July 10,1835, tor ;
tlie sum of $2800. Steele sold the lot to Sam
uel E. Crocker July 27th, 1835, for $5000.
The deed from Neal to Steele not having been
recorded, and Mrs. Steele being absent, so that
she could not sign a deed from Steele to
Crocker, the former deed was withdrawn from
the Register's office, and a warrantee deed of
the lot made from Slepheu Neal to Crocker.
Mr. Steele divided the profits he had made on
the speculation, with Neal, and |>aid him $4000
for the lot, which was the sum named in the
deed from Neal to Crocker. Crocker occu
pled the lot in 1836-37 by hauling bricks on to |
it. Subsequently, April 28th, 1837, he sold
the lot to Samuel Cooiedge of Boston for
*8000. Cooiedge sold the lot, with another
piece of land in this city, to Wm. Savage of
Boston, May 15, 1840, for $7000. Savage sold
the lot in question Sept. 4, 1846, to Aivah
Libby and Thomas O’Brion for $4500. O'Brion
released his interest in one half of the prem
iies to Libby, which included the lot in dis
pute in this case. Libby conveyed one half
of what he owned to Eben Seavey Dec. 22,
1846, and Libby and Seavey then conveyed to
Sewall C. Chase a lot on Pine street, upon
which Chase erected a block of two brick
dwelling-houses. February 1,1849, S. C. Chase
conveyed one half in common of the lot and
block to Edward P. Chase, and on the same
day Sewall and Edward P. conveyed to Wil
uaui vuwe, lor me sum oi vouuu, me 101 ana
brick building thereon, being the premises de
manded by plaintiff in this case.
Stephen Neal died in December, 1836, leav
ing one heir, Mrs. Lydia, wife of Oliver Den
nett. Oliver Dennett died in December, 1851.
July 24,1858, M rs. Dennett released, by naked
quit claim, her interest in the Mellen lot to Ed
win S. Hovcy, for which he gave his notes
on time for $20,000, with the understanding
that be was not to be called upon to pay any
portion of ihe same unless he recovered the
premises. Within a week afterwards suits
were commenced against the various holders
of the estate.
The claim of Mr. Hovey was based upon
the assumption that, at the time of the sale by
Stephen Neal, in 1835, he was non compos
mentis, or afflicted with senile dementia, and,
therefore, incompetent to give a deed, and
that the deed be gave to Crocker was void, or
voidable, against his heir, or any one claiming
through or under her.
In order to establish this point many wit
nesses were examined, who testified as to the
state of mind of Stephen Neal in the years
1834-36, and who were of opinion that he was
not ^ompetent to transact any business. His
manners and habits and sayings were gone
pretty thoroughly into to show that he did
not know what he was about, and was entire
ly unfit to negotiate even the smallest tran
sactions. The testimony on this point in the
shape of witnesses and depositions was quite
voluminous. Drs. Harlow and Bates were ex
amined upon the question of senile dementia,
and a hypothetical question being put to them,
they answered that, such facts being proved, in
their opinion, they would be conclusive of an
unsound mind.
On the other hand, It was contended that
Neal was competent to transact business, and
that in the sale of this lot he got a fair price
for it. The testimony on these points was
pretty extensive. The opinions of these wit
nesses were directly in conflict with those for
the plaintiff, and it. seemed to be a question of
veracity between them. It was also contend
ed by defendant’s counsel that, even if Stephen
Neal was of unsound mind at the time of ex
ecuting the deed in 1835, still the sale of tills
property through sundry mesne conveyances
to the present owners, for a valuable consider
ation, without netice of any defect in the title,
was valid, and the plaintiff could not recover.
The case was ably argued by Mr. Rand for
the defendant, and by Mr. Woodman for the
plaintiff. - No one could say that either of
them had not done justice to their clients.
Mr. Rand occupied three hours and a half in
his argument, and Mr. Woodman nine hours
ana tnree quarters id bis. Better specimens
of forensic eloquence have seldom been beard
In that Court
The charge of Judge Cutting to the jury
waa an able and impartial one, occupying
about one hour and a half. He held that the ;
plaintiff had a right to purchase of Mrs. Den
nett, either by note or otherwise.
That plaintiff, to prevail, must impeach the
deed, and must satisfy the jury that Neal had
not “due intelligence to make a contract”—
because If he had such a degree of under
standing at the time, the deed is valid, and de
fendant must prevail.
No degree of physical or mental disability,
which does not deprive him of legal compe
tency to act, is sufficient to invalidate the deed.
Alter remarking upon what constitutes legal
competency to act, and the proof required
from the plaintiff to establish the want of this,
he left it lor the jury to determine from the
evidence the effect of It upon this case.
In regard to the opinion of the experts, he
remarked that It amounted to but little, un
less all the facts upon which it Is based arc
clearly established. The questions propound
ed to these experts included such evidence as
the plaintiff only had offered. II it had been
presented to them after the defendant had put
In his evidence, then they would have had the
whole.
If Stephen Neal had sufficient capacity to
act, but was of weak mind, of which advan
tage was taken, and a fraud was committed
upon him, then his deed could be avoided in
the grautee. But if the conveyance was made
by the grantee to a third party, for a valuable
consideration, ignorant of those facts or of
such facts as would naturally put him on his
guard, it would lie valid and binding.
The first question for the jury to settle was,
“Did Stephen Neal possess legal competenry
to act at the time he made his conveyance ?’’
If the jury find he did possess this competency,
then there is au end to plaintilTs case. But if
they find he was not competent, then they
will consider the second question:—“Did the
defendant purchase the lot for a valuable con
sideration, without notice, and under circum
stances which did not, naturally, put him on
his guard f” If the jury find that he did so,
then there is an end to the case.
If the Jury found both questions adverse to
the defendant, they were to consider the ques
tion of betterments, on which point the Judge
gave them some instructions.
Tne jury were out one hour and a half, and
came into Court and returned a verdict for
the defendant.
Messrs. J. C. Woodman and Albert Merrill
managed the case for the plaintiff, and Messrs.
John Rand and H. P. Deane for the defendant.

of the repairs upon said vessel. He claims
that the repairs were made in a home port,
and that he is not liable lor any portion ol the
same under this form of action. After the
testimony was out, the case was taken from the

No. 28f>.—Lydia A. Palmer v. Richard Gage.
Action of the case, for allowing John Gun
nison to escape after defendant had received
orders as a Deputy Sheriff, to arrest said Gun

plaintiff out of $100 by purchasing of her a
lot of land and paying for it in two shares of
Railroad Switch Stock, which were worthless.
An action was brought against him, and the
officer was directed to take the body, as he
was about leaving the city. The officer ar
rested him, and took a bond which it was al

School Examination.—The annual exam
ination iu the public Schools of our city, under
the supervision of the Superintending School
Committee, commenced on Wednesday by the
examination of the High Schools for Boys and
Girls respectively. We were unable to attend
either of them, but hear that they were fully
up to expectation of the committee, and retain
and even improve upon the generul standard
for study and discipline laid down for each.—
The Willis School with the Centre, Brackett
and Congress Street Grammar Schools for
Girls, were examined yesterday. We looked
iulo the Brackett Street (Miss Harris') and
the Willis, and were much pleased with the at
tainments of the scholars, who are under ex
cellent discipline in each, the result ol ener
getic, faithful and kind leaching. The classes
in Latin Analysis and Algebra in the Willis
School, are particularly worthy of mention, as
were also the same grades of classes iu the
Boys High School. The exercises in vocal and
instrumental music serve to diversify the reci
tation pleasantly as well on examination days
as during the ordinary routine of school ses
sions. To-day the Park, Centre, Congress and
Frankliu Street Grammar Schools for Boys
will be examined, and the Intermediate School
for Boys to-morrow (Saturday). And on
Monday next the several Primary Schools will
be examined as follows; In the forenoon Nos.
1, 3,5, <1, 7, 12, 14; and in the afternoon, Nos.
2, 4, 8, U, 10, 11, 13. The examinations for ad
mission to the (rrammar, Willis, Intermediate
and High Schools will soon take place, of
which due notice will be given.
By advertisement in another column
It will be seen that Rev. W. A. Stewart is
to deliver a couple of lectures in tills city, on
the general subject of mental science. Mr.
Stewart comes very highly recommended, by
gentlemen of the highest social position and
of tbe most discriminating minds. He has re
cently delivered his lectures in the provinces
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where
they were well received by appreciative audi
ences, and very highly complimented by the
press. We had the pleasure a year or two
siuce of listeuiog to one of Mr. Stewart's lec
tures in a neighboring city, and again last
winter in the Representatives Hall at Augus
ta, and we take pleasure in commending him
to a Portland audieoce.

All persons found coasting upon any other

rF“We are pleased to learn that Mr. Pick
ering, principal of Park street grammar school,
is improving in health, and that the prospects
of his entire recovery are most favorable.
It is said that an apostate Yankee
makes the most cruel negro driver on a plan
tation. Northern men in the South show the
most zeal for secession. Albert Pike, a recre
ant New Englander, could arm wild savages
to tomahawk and scalp the playfellows of his
childhood, and his early schoolmates. The
object is to ward off suspicions ot unsound
ness by surplus works of iniquity. Upon
the same principle we suppose it is, the recent
Douglas and Jameson papers in this State—
the Rockland Free Press excepted—are now
most ultra in the enunciation pf secession
sympathy, and of doubtful patriotism. The
Belfast Journal and Augusta Age leave the
Saco Democrat and Machine Union far in the
background.

AFTER an extensive practice of upwards of twen
ty ycais,continue* to secure Patent* in the Unit
ed .State*; also in Great Britain, France, and other
foreign countries. Caveat*. Specification*. Bonds.
Assigiiments.and all Papers or Drawings for Patent*'
executed on liberal terms, and with despatch. Re
searches marie into Ameriean or Foreign work* to
determine the validity or utility of Patents or Inven
tions—and legal or other advice rendered in all mat
ters touching the same, t dpies of I hr- claims of auy
Patent furnished by remitting Due Dollar. Assign
ment* recorded at Washington.
The Agency is not only the largest in New F.ng
land, bui through it inventors have advantag s for
securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentability of
inventions, unsurpassed bv, if not immeasurably su
perior to. any which can be offered them elsewhere.
The Testimonials below given prove that none is
MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE
than the subscriber; aud as SUCCESS IS THE BEST
PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABILITY, he
would add that be ha* abundant reason to believe,
aud can prove, that at no other office of the kind
are the chwgos for professional services so moderate
The immense practice of the subscriber during twen
ty years past, ha* enabled him to accumulate a vast
collection of speciffcations aud official decision* rela
tive to patent*.
These, besides his extensive library of legal and
mechanical works.and full accounts of patents grant
ed in the United States aud Europe, rende him able
beyond question, to offer superior facilities for ob
taining patent*.
All necessity of a Journey to Washington, to pro
cure a patent, and the usual great delay there, are
here saved inventors.

Late Commissioner of Patents.
“Mr. R. II. Eddy has made for me THIRTEEN ap
