Wooiiiow Lawmen, the defendant.
The verdict of the m.tui. i rate wa»
that the defendant wa- a niiuoc.
and that therefore the plaintiff had
110 case. The action wa.- 1!i-aiisse;!
at the "f the plaintiff.
The facts in the ca-e a s testified
t-o l'.v several witne-ves were as fol
lows:
The plaintiff J. T. the
father, was inde'ited to the defen
dant. Woodeow I-awson, the fon in
the amount of $30).00. Th e plaintiff
sc-ld to the defendant a Ford car at
the price of $300.00. Defendant gave
plaintiff a note and mortgage (se-
Hured by the car) in .the amount ot
SIOO.OO, and surrendered other ev
idences of debt in the amount of
$200.00
On failure of defendant to pay the
mortgage of SIOO.OO, plaintiff tooH
ou-t claim and delivery papers for
the posseenioa of the car covered
by the ~"-*r>rr
At the trial defendant'* counsel
moved for a dismissal of .the action
on the ground that hie client ww J*
minor at the time of the trans,
action but offered to surrender the
car if plaintiff wosld pay over to
defendant SITS.OO.
Witnesses had testified that the
car at the present time was not
worth orer 50.00.
Plaintiffs contention win that,
while admitting the defendant was
under age, the title to the car,
therefore, had never passed from the
Plaintiff to the defendant; that de
fendant had used or damaged the
car to the amount of $250.
Plaintiff appealed to the Superior
Court.
A Bargin Offered
The County
TOrlitor Reporter:
I happened to be at Danbury and
heard the recommendations and crit.
icisms of the grandjury. One of
these was that the county purchase
n chair for the Clerk's office, or re.
pair the old one now In UHe. I wish ,
to t-ay that I hav e a chair which I
am willing t" sell. It is in fairly
enod condition and I will take $1.50
for it. The back screeches a little
and one leg is decrepit, but these re
pnird can be made at a small cost
at any good furniture faotory. The
screeches can be stopped with a lit.
He grease.
My price is a bargain and I will
l>e glad to open negotiations with
the board looking to a trade. Tf
necessary, I would arrange terms.
