WALTON AND BUCK WIN.
Termination of u Lengthy Suit In Equity
In the United States Circuit Cnnrt


In the United States Circuit Court.
Judgment was handed down in the
United States circuit court late Thurs
day afternoon by Judges Acheson and
Wales in the equity suit of Charles
Richardson of Philadelphia against f..
L. Walton and Francis N. Buck of this
city. Action was commenced in October.
1888, by Richardson, member of Wal
ton, Whann s. Co., against the other
members of the firm. He claimed that
at the settlement of the conpany's af-
fairs, in 1855, made in view of his with
drawal at that date that the ALLEGATION
OF sums due to him as his share was
wrong and that the partition was fraud
ientlly based. He filed a bill asking for
o reforming. of the company with re-
statement of the accounts to follow.
The testimony aggregates 900 closely
printed pages of reports. S. S. Hollings-
worth of Philadelphia and Senator
Anthony Higgins appeared for the
plaintiff and Senator Gray and Benjamin
Nields for the defendants.
When Richardson withdrew from the
firm, in 1885, he received as his share
the sum of $123,4S6. When the firm
was established lin 1861 Richardson
contributed 40 per cent, 100000; Wal
ton. 20 per cent, $4,000; Buck, 80 per
cent, 100000. Messrs. Walton and
Buck agreed to devote their entire at
tention TO the business and not to en-
gage in any other. Mr.. Richardson was
allowed to do as he desired. No state
ment of the business was made between
1873 and 1884.
The settlement was on the basis of
the profits fol the year 1886.
The judgment of the court, handed
down Thursday, is to the effect that the
complainant has no claim or equity
against the defendants and DEGREES that
the bill be dismissed with costs.

year and half ago.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

valued $4,000. 1t was insured in the
