The hulles oats swindlers and their
pals the note buyers. are coming to
grief in the courts. Thomas H
STREET. one of the note buyers who
claimed he "bought the note in good
faith," was defeated in the Belair
court last week in a suit against W.
H. Hoberts. Several other farmers
in the upper part of Hartford county
were victimized in the same manner,
and suits to recover on their notes
are also pending. The Seneca"
wheat case of Charles A. Busted and
John M. Perry, administrators OF
Jno. Wilkinson, deceased, vs.. W.
Harrison Newman, tried recently at
Centerville. was also decided in favor
of defendant.
A few verdicts of this kind will
teach a wholesome lesson TO bankers
and note shavers who buy this kind
of paper. They know the notes rep.
resent swindling operations.
