John B. Bichet and Julia Moureaux came to this country from France, the former in 1828, and the latter a few years previously. They were married in 1836, and the same year bought a farm on road 34, in Le Ray. He subsequently added to his wealth by purchasing two other farms, one on road 33, and the other on road 34. They had born to them five sons and three daughters, namely: Louis V., Joseph J., Francis F., John, Mary J., Celia, and Peter. Mr. Bichet died February 18, 1886, and Mrs. Bichet January 29, 1866. Peter Bichet worked at home on the farm until he was 18 years of age, alternating his labors with attendance at the common schools winters, with one term at Kingston College. He removed to Croghan, Lewis County, where he conducted a custom boot and shoe store. The confinement in the store was not conducive to his health, and he sold out. He married Ellen, daughter of Michael Kelly, of Belfort, Lewis County, and returned with his bride to his old home in Le Ray. He soon after purchased of Noel Conway the old Lewis farm on road 35. Mr. Bichet has had born to him three sons, viz.: Ralph E., who died in infancy, and Lawrence J. and Adrien J., who survive.

[article title not readable]
A false imprisonment case in which John Banks was plaintiff and Charlotte Biche was defendant was placed on trial at the opening of court this morning, but after the first witness had been sworn the court granted a nonsuit. F. N. Fitch appeared for the plaintiff and Thomas F. Kearns for the defendant.
John Banks, the plaintiff, is a well known character of this city. Charlotte Biche, the defendant, is the wife of John Biche, and her maiden name was Charlotte Banister, being a daughter of the late Governuer Banister. She has frequently appeared in the courts, either as plaintiff or defendant. She owns a farm in the town of Pamelia and on it is a stone quarry. This quarry was in the posession of John Banks for about a year and six months, under an agreement whereby he was to pay Mrs. Biche 10 cents for every doubly load of stone quarried. It is said....[missing text].

of the premises. She ??? a warrant for the arrest of Banks on the charge of trespass for quarying stone on her premises and carrying them away without her permission. Banks was tried before Justice John ? Parish at Pamelia, convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of ?? or serve 10 days in jail. He was committed. After being in jail a few days he was released on a writ of habeus corpus by Judge Emmerson. It appeared that the judgement was void. Banks then commenced this action to recover $2,000 damages for false imprisonment.
The law provides that a person cannot recover damages for false imprisonment unless the judgement is reversed or void. The judgement of the justice's court was not reversed in this case. In the opening address Mr. Fitch stated that Banks had been convicted. When he concluded Mr. Kearns moved for a nonsuit on the grounds that the judgement of the justice's court had not been reversed. The court allowed Mr. Fitch to call Constable N. H. Merrills, who made the arrest, but after his testimony was taken, Justice Williams granted the motion for a nonsuit, holding that the complaint made by Mrs. Biche charged a crime.
