OPESIOXS BANDED DO Wit ' BY THE The Salt of Joha Savage, Srvs. Joha Sav age, Jr., et aL. DeeUtod Blrehard Stays la the Pealteatlajry. (From Daily, Dec 27th.) The supreme court yesterday handed down decisions In nine cases hereto fore argued and submitted on appeal, from the state circuit courts, and for once there were no reversals; in every case the judgment of the state circuit court .was affirmed. Among the cases handed down were the following two from Marion county: . John Savage, Sr., respondent, vs. Jobn Savage, Jr., and Frank Sav age, appellants; appeal from Mar ion county, -Hon. George H. Bur nett, judge; affirmed. Opinion by. Chief Justice C. E. Wolverton. The action was brought to, recover on ; two joint and ' several notes for $1500 each, signed by. the two defend ants. The notes were not paM when due, and it was found that the plain tiff and defendant, John Savage Jr., had changed the rate of interest by mutual consent, so as to read 10 per cent per annum. Instead of 8 per cent, this change 4eing made without the knowledge or consent of the defendant Frank Savage, the action being brought upon- the original debt. The circuit court found that the debt was just, and rendered judgment for the plaintiff, and defendant appealed. The appellate court, after reviewing the case, finds no errors and affirms the judgment. State of Oregon, respondent, vs. "WiUard Birchard, appellant; ap- peal from Marion county, - Hon. George H.

Birchard was sen tenced to twenty years in the peniten tiary, from which Judgment he appeal ed. Defendant's counsel contended that the court erred in ' limiting the time to one hour after the case was ca'.Ied for trial, in which to submit re quests for special instructions. When the i case was called defendant's coun- pti gave notice that they would re- f.y"-te the instructions to be In writing, wihereupon the court ordered that-such soecial instructions as 'they desired to be (given should be submitted within or.eifhour, to which order an .exception was taken. The court holds that no error was committed In refusing to give instructions requested by -the de fendant, after the time for filing the same iad' expired. Other errors jw ere assigned, but no error is found by the appellate court, and the judgment Is, therefore, affirmed. ; The other cases decided by the court were as follows: Capital Lumbering Co., respondent. vs. Sarah T. -Learned and J.
