day, and the verdict in Coburn V. Paine
was opened and read. It was that the
Plff. should recover of the Deft, in the
sum of $127.31.
The following jury was then impaneled
In Huzzy vs. Woodrovv: A. McLaren,

B. Burrows, Lawrence Urie, O. B. Dodge,
W. E. Curtis, J. P. Baldwin, Ira S. Adams,
J. W. Erwin aud A. 1). Bates, counsel for

of geueral assumpsit, brought by Andrew
i - . 1 . . J A. j1
formed, and also on a few items of book
account of minor importance. A motion
to dismiss the appeal was overruled, and
a request to raise the ad damnum to 50
granted.
Huzzy was swo.m aud testified to com
mencing work in May, '88 on the Deft's
farm uuder a contract for six months,
and to working six months and three
days. Witness said at the time he left,
Deft, said she had no money but to come
down in a few days aud she would settle.
Said his wife kept the account, and that
she and Mrs. Woodrow "looked over" In
October, and that theu between $7 and
$8 was his due.
John C. Sivright swore to the defen
dant's mentioning such comparison of ac
counts at that time and with result as
above stated. Here the Pliff. rested and
the defense opened. The Deft, testified
that the Plfl'. engaged to her for 7 mos.,
aud left before the time was up, and
claimed damag e. Witness also made a
book account exhibit and verified the
charges therein. Also denied that she
had ever had any settlement with Huzzey
or his wife.
Tuesday morning John A. Wheeler, a
brother of the deft., was introduced and
testified that Plff. told him he hired for 7
months, but didn't like and shouldn't stay.
Here the defense rested and Mrs. Huzzey
was called. She testified, to the settle
ment already referred to as being on the
22nd day of October, and that some $7 or
$8 was theu riff's due, but that nothing
was allowed for the board of the men,
for which Deft, promised to pay ; this,
however, the Deft, denied. Several oth
er witnesses were called to corroborate
certain particulars, and for the purpose
of weakening the credit which might oth
erwise be given to the parties. A. A. Sil
ver, the justice of the peace in the lower
court, testified that Mrs. Hu zzy testified
materially different in regard to certain
matters before him than she did in the
nrt Altnnrpthflr too much time was
taken up in wrangling over such insigniti-
cant items as eight cents worth of spruce
gum, a few pails of soft soap and a little
stove pipe. The lawyers made their ar
guments, and the case went up to the ju
ry at 5 o'clock Tuesday.
Wednesday a. m. they returned a ver-
Hift for th PlfF. to recover Sa7.o7 ana
costs.

John Young and J. W. Erwiu counsel
for the Plff., and W- D- Crane and L
Thomnson for the defendant. An action
of geueral assumpsit, with plea of gener
al issue, onVset and notice of npecial mat
ter. Wednesday morning Mrs. E. M
Adams, the Plff. took the stand and test!
fled that her husband, who is her (financial
agent made trade with the Deft., Dr,
j0hQ ii. Gaines, to pasture a mare and
two colts, and give extra care which wa
done. They were kept in extra fall feed
for a month, when colts were taken away
but mare kept until the following May
they came there about Oct. 1, '87. Mare
was Kapt exaciiy accoruiug i
fjous given by Gaines, and the son Oscar
was up for about a month day and njght
watching mare before she foaled. Wit
ness bad no personal knowledge of the
way marc was kept but gathered it la
general way from the circumstances. Her
son also sold the defendant 4200 lbs. hay
at 8 per ton. Witness stated that she
never had recleved any pay for the same
except having two mares served by
Deft's stallion at $10 each. On cross
examination by Crane, Pld'. admitted that
Deft, came to her house tiller the suit
was brought and put $7.50 into her hand
as a tender. She then told him she knew
nothing whatever of the nature of a ten
der and would not accept it, and thereupon
threw it upon the 'machine, which money
she produced in court. Extra charges were
made for the care of mare all the time.
Lewis D. Adams testified to being agent
of his wife, the Plff. He made the con
tract with the defendant to keep the marc
and colts. When mare was taken to baru
there was no special contract but was to
have good pasture. Could state only iu a
general way how he understood that the
son cared for the mare. When he asked
the defendant for pay, the latter thought
$8 a ton too high for hay, but said there
was 4200 lbs. and that it was worth $7 a
ton. Had had three mares served by
Deft.,8 horse, that he should pay 10 each
If they foaled, nothing if not. Also one
more for which was to pay $20 If she
proved with foal, but did nt. Of these
two foaled and one lost a colt but not by
his horse.
Oscar G. Adams, son of the last witness,
testified to caring for mare all through
the winter, being up every night from
January 15th to February Gth. Doctor
told him he would rather give $100 than
to lose the colt. He sold the hay. George
Tice, of Holland, was sworn and testified
to using his horse for Mrs. Adams' sorrel
mare.
Here the Plff. rested, and defense was
opened by the evidence of Gaines, who
testified to use of horse for 5 marcs at $10
each ; that hay was ouly $7 a ton ; aud
when he refused to pay Adams he
(Adams) said he would make him (Deft)
sorry if he did not, and that there was
no objection by Plff to receiving the ten
der. Verdict $10.12 for plaintiff.
The grand jury were discharged on
Saturday; the criminal cases will be
tried this week.
