JOHN DOES NOT HAVE TO PAY.
The case of the ChinamaD, Sing, vs.
Boone & Noteworthy still continues to
bob up in the courts.
1t will be remem bered the case result
ed in verdict for tine defendants, and
the costs we're consequently charged up
against the heather, Sing.
Now Sing appeared before Justice
Rose this morning, and as ed that the
costs be set aside by reason of the de- |
fendant failing to file statement set
ting forth the same with the Justice.
The court held that the petition was
we'll taken, and ordered that the costs
charged against the defendant be set |
aside.
This leaves Meesrs. Boone and Nose
worthy III the pleasant position of shoul-
dering the Chinaman's g costs.
In the meantime Sing has carried the |
original case to the superior court.
