ARGUMENT FOR A NON-sUIT BY THE DEFENDANT
NEGOTIATIONS NOT CONTRACTS.
In the suit of the New-England Iron Com
pany against the Gilbert Railroad Company trial
before Judge Freedman, the entire sessions Of the
court yesterday consumed n the argument by the
defendant for uon-suit AS to the NewYnrk Loan and
Improvement Company, the suit has been withdraw
and the only question is the liability Of tno
Gilbert Metropolitan Company. The claim OF the
defendant is that the contract with the plaintiff was
never either executed or ratified by the company.
Authority given, 1t was argued TO the president
negotiate" and report the results Of his negotia
tion but authority to contract given and hence
any contract by him I'm the matter without power
and void; and although It might have been validated
by an adoption, nothing in the testimony goes 10
show any such adoption of the contract hY the
Il rectOrs 4 body, though there some individual
expressions Of opinion bV directors proved. The con-
tract being executory. this rule he strictly
applied than executed contracts The so-calied
tracts were not complete the plans beng pa1 " par
tia plans. The contract provisional on conditions
which have not happened II is also claimed that TIE
second contract Is necessary part Of the first and is
void. The plaintiffs assignment TO trustees under
nsOIvent proceeding surrender Of the contract
and the reassicDnent does not help the plaintiff; and
the insolvency of the plaintiff made impossible for
fulfil s part OF the contract, and absoved the
defendant; and lastly, the entire alteration Of the d.
fen1ant's route by the Legislature rendered the whole
contract nugatGTy. Judge Fthan Is TO answer today
