Some of the first days of May last,
William Hughes of this town, was arrest
ed and committed to jail on a writ in
favor of Fullum. Stafford & Chadwick of
Burlington. the plfs. claiming Hughes
bought of their agents bill of goods
under false pretenees (at least. should
so infer from the fact that action was
trover). Hughes was kept in jail until
the 18th of July, when he procured his
release by paying plfs. Attorney $50 in
money, set of scales with S.. and turn
ing out a suit of clothes for security for
$40 more. As soon as Hughes was re-
leased from jail he went to Newport and
got J. I. Allen to bring suits to recover
both the money and property he had
paid to procure his release from Jail
also for false imprisonment The first
suit for the money &c. was against the
Attorney of F.. S. & C. and was tried
in August last before a justice, deponents
calling for a jury. 1t was quite an ex-
citing trial, the jury finding a verdict
for defendant for his cash from which
plf. appealed to the County Court. MIR.
Allen proving bail for plf. for his ap-
peal. Soon after the justice trial Hughes
commenced suit against Fullum, Saff-
ord & Chadwick for false Imprisonment,
returnable at the last September term of
our County Court, since which time the
parties have been negotiating settle
ment and Mr.. Hughes informs me today
that his attorney has settled the suits,
Fullum, Stafford & Chadwick, paying
Hughes 1925 in money releasing the
clothes and returning gun Mr.. Hughes
had, let F.. S. & C. have in part pay
ment for the goods s25 worth Mr.
Hughes says he should not have settled
the suits so cheap if his attorney had
not become convinced that the parties
in Burlington were not so much in fault
as their agents, Fullum, Stafford & Chad
wick, having succeeded in making Mr.
Allen believe that they instructed their
agent not to have Hughes committed to
jail. l hope you will give this place
in your valuable county paper from the
fact that your Irasburgh correspondent
blackened Mr.. Hughes at the time of
his confinement in jail. and [ think it
no more than justice to fatherless boy
that the public show them just how the
case has ended.
