In the Baltimore county court, on We'd
nesday, a case of considerable interest to farm
ers was begun, in which an action was
brought by Wm. B. Saylor, use of George 7.
Buckley, of Carroll county, TO recover $50; the
face value of a note given by H. I. Merry
man. 4 farmer, OF DlltlHore county. u tHS
opening statement TO the jury it was said that
Mr.. Buckley, who lives at Union Bridge, had
discounted the note, which had been given to
Saylor by Merryman in payment for some
cloverseed, and that Buckley knew nothing as
to whether Merryman had received value for
the amount of the note or not. On the other
hand, it was argued that Saylor had sold some
cloverseed which was represented to be of an
extraordinary variety and would produce a
large quantity of seed. Saylor, it was alleged,
was to receive 81 per pound for the clover
seed and that he did not wish to be paid any
money. but that in the fall he would buy Mr..
Merryman's cloverseed, the yield of the seed
obtained from Saylor, and pay him sl5 per
bushel for it. Afterwards Saylor, it was
stated, came back and induced Merryman to
give his note for the seed, upon the promise
that a great reduction would be made in it
when it was paid in cloverseed. The note
was accordingly given, and it was sold to
Buckley. There are several other cases de-
pending upon the issue in this. On ThursdaG
Juror waz Withdrawn, and a new suit entered.
Messrs Reifsnider Il ReiGsnider, of this city,
and Yellott and Keech, of Towson, appear
for the plaintiff, and Messrs Mcintosh, Ensor,
