The Philips Co-PartnersIl1p Case.
Philips rs. Philips ct al. ss-Circuit Court Cook
County

The defendants COUNSEL, hfr. Williams,
closed tie reading Of the dispositions on his
side yesterday noon, and rested lilo case. The
defendants proof, from What We are able to
gather, mainly relates to statements made at
different times by the father. claiming that he
was not in partnership, and was sole proprie-
tor Of the business and property; also, the
dispositions of the other sons denying that
they we're partners, or had any interest in the
business. It was also testified, that ten or
twelve years ago the plaintiff had been sworn
as witness for his fatler in some justices suit,
and stated that lc was not in partnership with
his father; the defence contending thar he is
estopped from claiming to be a partner. The
proli1ity Of the ease is owing ii some measure
10 the very long cross-examination of the sons
who are defendants with their father in the
case, twelve days having been taken up ia this
way. At the close OF tic defendants case, the
complainant's counsel gave in a mass Of re-
butting proof, mostly relating to the state.
mcnts of the parties.
Mr.. Windett will not open his argument 70,
plaintiff until some time next week.
