DECISION AFFIRMED.-The general term
of the Washington court yesterday decided
the case of the Portner Brewing Go. vs.. J.
II. Collins This was an action of replevln
to recover number of beer bottles marked
Robert Portncr, Alexandria, Fa.," and a
plea of limitations had been entered. The
chief Justice said the bottles in this case
held not only beer, but a question of law.
The question involved in the case was
whether fraud in the obtaining of a thing
would prevent the running of the statute OF
limitations. The court thought not. When
the case had been heard below, Judge Mer-
rick had instructed the jury to find for the
defendant, because the pialntln had 'aileu
TO furnish evidence legally sufficient to sup
port the plaintiffs assertion of fraud in re.
ply to the defendants plea of the statute of
limitations, and so the question below W., was
one of the sufficiency of evidence. The
decision below was affirmed.
