AN INTERESTING PEoMssoRY NOTE CASE.
A suit wns filed sometime ago by w. B.
Moses & Son to recover $4,l19iG from George
Taylor, loaned on promissory notes. Col.
Christy, the attorney for Mr.. Taylor, yester-
DAY fled tho pleas, denying the promise to
pay, and claiming non-indcbtedness.
Mr.. Taylor says, in relation to the note for
A110.i6, dated April %, 1851. that for more
than eight years Immediately prior to the
date of tho note he had business transactions
with Mr.. w. B. Moses, during which time the
:attcr was conducting business in his own
nainc.
Alter tho execution Of the note he was in .
formed that the name of William Ii. Noses
son of William b. Moses and II minor, had
bcon inserted in the firm name, but he had
no interest in any of the notes. At the time
of making this note the accounts existing
between them were unsettled, and he believes
ii an account was takon Mr. Moses would be
found indebted to him.
The note was given for the accommodation
of Mr. Moses and on the express agreement
that the defendant should not be required to
pay it until there had been full settlement
between them. The defendant believes tho
notes, il treated as settlement were pro-
cured through misrepresentation and fraud.
In relation TO the $1,000 Mr.. Taylor makes
similar plea.
In the second suit against Mr.. Taylor,wh
relates to certain district bonds supposed to
have been deposited with Riggs " Co. rs col
lateral, and which, ii is charged, Mr.. Taylor
disposed of, the latter, in answering, says that
all promises made by him were upon the sup
position that the bonds belonged to Mr.. Moses
and would not be claimed by other parties He
has since been informed and believes that
the bonds did not belong to Mr.. Moses,
but he fraudulently procured possession OF
them. He believes that nine of them belong
to Patrick Cullinane, who received them from
the District of Columbia. -Four of them be-
longed to Henry Birch, and Birch and Culli-
name have given the defendant notice that
they are the owners and demand that the
bonds be delivered to them.
Mr. Taylor, in his affidavit accompanying
the pleas, says that since the beginning of
this suit he has been notified by Patrick
Cuilinane that one Rudolph Blumonberg, by
false and fraudulent pretenses, unlawfully
obtained from him (Cullinano) large num-
ber of bonds, each of tho denomination of
81 900, and known as per cent permanent
Improvement bonds of this district, and
among them was the bonds for which Mr..
Moses sues to recover
Then follows long recital of the Blumen
berg frauds, and Mr.. Taylor says he believes
that Mr.. Moses had full knowledge Of the
fraudulent transactions of Blumenberg of the
names of the true and legal owners of the
bonds and their respective rights therein at
the time the bonds were delivered to him by
Blumenberg.
He therefore denies the right of Mr.. Moses
to recover any of them or the value thereof.
Mr.. Taylor has instructed his counsel to file
bill of interpleader to compel the parties to
establish their respective rights i'll the bonds.
