IMPORTANT NEARING.
In which James M. Mayer of Rich
nnond Is lnterested.

In 1885 James N. Hagar, of Richmond.
being indebted to several Bath and Rich
mond banks. on the most of which indebted
ness Parker M. Whitmore, of Bath, was in
aorser, conveyed two ships, the "Hagars-
town" and yorktown" to three trustees,
Parker M. Whitmore of Bath, George 81.
Ineobald and DR.. Abial Libby of Richmond,
and took back from them a writing in which
they accepted the conveyance of the ships to
secure the payment Of Hagar's indebtedness
70 the banks, and agreed that if Hagar should
pay the debts, save Whitmore harmless as
his endorser and pay Whitmore what he
might owe him, all within eighteen months,
the trustees would reconvey the ships. But
ON Hagar's failure to do so within eighteen
months, the trustees were to sell the prop.
erty and from the proceeds pay the DE- BITS
ana liabilities named. and the surplus If any
TO go to Hagar. Hagar failed to per nm the
conditions and the trustees took possession
Oh the property. notifying the masters of the
vessels to account and make remittances to
them. The trustees sold the Hagarstown
AZ Shanghai, China, she having been much
damaged by cyclone on the voyage thither.
In june, 1887, the trustees conveyed the
yorktown back to Hagar to enable him to
carry out bargain to tsell to other parties.
ne paying the proceeds into the banks on his
indebtedness Disputes arose between Whit
more and Hagar over these matters resulting
In bill In equity by Hagar against Whit
more and cross bill by Whitmore against
Hagar. In the first Hagar claimed that al
though he had performed all conditions i'm
posed upon him, the trustees would not pay
him the proceeds of the ships nor account to
him; that they had conducted negligently
and wastefully in selling the Hagarstown In
China instead Of repairing her sufficiently to
return to the United States, and thereby oc-
casioned him heavy and unnecessary loss.
In the cross bill Whitmore claimed pay for
| ludorsiDg numerous notes, and for some per-
sonal services The law court dismissed
with costs the cross bin of Whitmore against
Hagar. As to the other bill, the court de-
cided that the trustees acted In good faith
and that the sale OF the Hagarstown was not
so unskillful or negligent as to subject the
trustees to damages therefor, but ordered the
case sent TO q master to state the accounts
between the parties. The accounts covering
the management OF these vessels for years
Dy the trustees, are yoluminous, amounting
TO nearly hundred thousand dollars. The
trustees claim that the balance now due
Hagar Is about five thousand dollars while
Hagar claims that much larger sum is due.
Reuel Small was appointed master and the
nearing covering six days was closed yester.
day. Edward M. Rand ESQ. appeared for
Hagar, @. w. Larrabee of Bath for Whit
more and Weston Thompson for Theobald
