THE CARRIERS VS.. THE WASHINGTON
CHRONICLE.

THE CARRIERS vs.. THE WASHINGTON
CHRONICLE.
In the Supreme Court of the District of Colum-
bIa. in general term, yesterday, the case of John
Fsllon, appellant, vs. The Chronicle Publishing
Company, appellee, was-argued.
This is an action in which the plaintiff and ap-
pellant claims 5000 as damages from the defend
ant and appellee, Tor the nOn-periornance OF q
contract, which is set out in the declaration. and
will be found in the printed record. The defend
ant demurred 10 the declaration for the following
reasons:
/. The said contract in said declaration alleged,
and each and every count thereof, is vol for un-
certainty and want Of mutuality.
2 The said contract alleged In said declar ltion,
and every count thereof, is not alleged to be in
writing, and shows q contract to be performed
within the year, and is void under the statute Of
frauds.
g. The said contract alleged In said declaration.
and each and every count thereof, is in restraint
Of trade, and against public policy, and therefore
void.
4. The said declaration contains three counts,
each alleging different ground Of inquiry, no ne
of which allcge the amount Of damage suffered
for the seperate and specific injury complained of.
And the said defendant demurs specially to til Q
first count in said declaration Of the plaintiff, and
for cause thereof shows the court the following:
]. The said count does not state any time when
the alleged contract between the said plaintiffs
and the said John W. Forney was entered into:
The court below SUSTAINED the demurrer on the
first two grounds stated In the demurrer, and the
plaintiff refusing to amend, Judgment was rem
dered for the defendant. The plaintiff appeals,
and as the demurrer goes to the whole deelara-
tion, If either ground Of objection is well taken,
the Judgment Of the court below must be affirmed.
Besides want OF mutuality and the need Of a
written instrument to sustain such contract, II
was argued that the contract alleged in the
declaration is in restraint Of trade and against
! public policy, and therefore void.
The plaintiff claims an exclusive right, under
the pretended contract, to obtain subscribers for
! and supply the Chronicle along the routes named
| In his declaration, and claims damages for the
reason that the defendant vrongfully and inju.
] " md "a sal md
delivering, said newspapers to the persons sub
| seribing therefor, and residing on, along and
within said route. II was contended that the
mere statement of his claim, in his own language
! is sufficient to show its illegal nature, and which
according to his construction Of the contract eX
lists so long as he shall survive or the Chronicle
/ continue 10 be published.
