common thing to pass business cards around
in this manner.
The court said it was for the interest of the
public to have this business definitely settled,
and perhaps 1t would be better to let this case
go up to the other court as 1t differed somewhat
from the one now pending there. He was free
to say that his sympatheS were with the de-
PENDANT, but it had better be definitely settled
there. He imposed fine OF S. In addition to
taken and $500 bonds given. Mr. Padgett said
he had several more similar cases on his hands
to prosecute, but, with the consent OF the court,
would hold them over until the principle of SELL
ing goods by sample and catalogues should be
finally settled.
