Description
This is a trover action to recover the value of 250 cords of pulpwood alleged to have been taken by the defendant. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $1,208.12. The case is before the Law Court on general motion for new trial, and also on exceptions to the admission of certain evidence and for refusal to direct a verdict. The record shows that in May 1943 one Archie M. Kent, by warranty deed, conveyed to Mrs. Leslie Dodge a three years right to cut the wood growing on a tract of land in Benton, Maine. Later, Leslie Dodge arranged to sell some of the wood to Clarence F. McCully, the plaintiff. The wood sold to McCully was soft wood to be cut into pulp for the use of Keyes Fibre Company at Fairfield, Maine, and payments were to be made as the work of cutting was done. Dodge began the work of cutting for McCully; and during the spring and summer of 1943, McCully, without going to see the wood, made payments to Dodge of $4,000. The payments by McCully to Dodge, for wood cut and to be cut, were made as a result of statements of amounts by Dodge. Nothing was done, in 1943, relative to delivery of wood to McCully, or to Keyes Fibre Company, his customer.
