OPINION

FIELD, C.J.

The presiding justice of the superior court makes the following statement at the end of the bill of exceptions: "The statements in this bill of exceptions are correct, and I allow these exceptions, if, on the following facts, I have power to do so: The case was tried before me, and a verdict rendered for the plaintiff on the 5th day of June, A.D.1896. There was no extension of the time for filing exceptions. The defendant filed his bill of exceptions on the 25th day of said June, but gave no notice thereof to the plaintiff until the 26th day of said June; and the plaintiff, for this reason, objected, and objects to the allowance of the exceptions." The exceptions must be discharged, because no notice of the filing of the exceptions was given to the adverse party within 20 days after the verdict in the case. Baron v. Fitzpatrick (Suffolk, Jan. 11, 1897) 45 N.E. 915. Exceptions discharged.
