CoURT PROCEEDINGS The trial of the
civil causes on the list was continued last

Theodore Polhemus v. Adam B. Pickel,
Executor of Adrian II. Picke deceased
This was suit to recover the amount of two
notes made by B. Newton Pickel, and Adrian
II. Pickel, one for $1,000 and the other for
$500, which notes had been purchased by the
plaintiff, and also to recover the one-balf of
5000 note made by B. Newton Pickel, with
Adrian ii. Pickel aud the plaintiff as sureties,
which note bad been taken up by the plain
tiff. The name of Adrian II Pickel had been
erased from all the notes, and it was claimed
that the erasures had been made without the
consent of the plaintiff, who was the owner of
the notes at the time. The defence was, that
nc the Office of Voorhees, & Large in Fleming
ton, iD a settlement made between b. Newton
Pickei and the defendant, concerning matters
relating to the settlement of the estate of
their father, Adrian H. Pickel and by which,
in consideration among other things, of So, 1853
being paid to B. Newton Picksl, be was to
renounce his right as Executor and to release
his fathers estate from all liability on his ac-
count, these notes were produced by b. New
ton Pickel, were included in the settlement,
and went to make up 80 much of the 50, 1853
that for long time after knowledge of the
erasure of the names, the plaintiff made no
objection, and by bis actions and conduct rat
flied the act Of bis son-in-iaw, B. N. Pickel,
in including the note in the settlement. The
testimony of B. N. Pickel, produced as wit
ness for the plaintiff, was to the effect that no
settlement was completed at the time the
erasures were made that the notes did not
enter into the settlement that he procured
the notes of the wife of the plaintiff without
the knowledge of the plaintiff, and that he
had no knowledge of the erasures having been
made until after he had reached home. Upon
all these points, except that of procuring of
the notes, he was coptradicted by all the
other parties present at the settlement.
