A lawsuit, quite interesting to specta-
tors and showing out the depravity of hui
man nature, came off at FarwelPs hotel
last Friday before Justice S. Nj. Holden.
w. l.. Gibson VS. Edwin f. Sterling of
Weymouth, Mass. The debt was of long
standing, having been contracted in 1887
or 'SS. 1t came out that the defendant at
the time pleading poverty and i'll luck was
told by plaintiff that he would not trouble
him as long as he was unable to pay. He
removed to Weymouth, Mass, and pros
pered but refused at all times to pay more
than eight cents on dollar of the debt.
A short time ago, being in the state, his
body was taken as an absconding debtor
at the trial he proposed to take the "poor
debtors OATH" claiming not to be worth
anything. Lawyer Cudworth drew from
him, very reluctantly, the fact that his
wife owned house in Weymouth, set in
the assessors list at $l400. Which had
been built and paid for mainly by money
furnished by him, and that his weekly
earnings averaged $l2, or Sl4. per week
His manner of testifying was not con
vincing proof of honesty. A gentleman
from Brattleboro, who was present, re
marked that he would not be in that mans
shoes for any money. The debt was &C
knowledged to be an honest one, anC
judgement given for sos. and costs, TIL,
defendent took the poor debtors oath ant
seemed proud of the act.
