hill has been filed in the superior
.o,,rt nv !. A. Threatt and others against
tine Georgia Loan and Trust Company,
asking for an injunction, accounting and
the appointment of a receiver to wind UP
the company affairs.
The other parties to the petition are NJ
and D. A Byck and T. J. Davis
Their claim against the company amounts
toabout $500. The petition sets forth
+bot the company is indebted to other
parties in large sums.
Judge Fallieant appointed Sheriff John
n Roman temporary receiver and APP
rointed next Saturday as the day for the
boaring on the question of permanent
receivership.
II will be remembered that similar
netiti0u against the company was filed in
HE superior court some time ago by
Ann 4 Lathrop, to whom the com
many was indebted. The company had
10St great zeal blTOUSn Llit hdilpu-
lations of its president and manager
William Falconer, but an arrangement
was made whereby matters were fixed up
for while and a committee was APP
nointed under whom the accounts of the
company were to be collected and the con-
Germ was to 20 into liquidation.
This committee undertook the work
and employed Falcouer as collector. The
committee was to look after and super
wise. the work of marshaling the assets.
This was done about four months ago.
For two months the collections went on
until it is said, about $500 had been OBJ
tanned This was two months ago, at
which time Ealconer went north, pres UNI
ably for business trip, and from all ac
counts it was business with him. He has
never been heard from since he left, and
the belief is that he never will be.
SETTLED THE CASE.
A consent decree was taken in the
superior court yesterday in the case of
George Parsons againt Maxine j. Des-
vergers. The suit involved certain
tract of land al Thunderbolt.
An agreement was entered into whereby
the tract should be surveyed by Mr.. Ed
ward j. Thomas and divided into plats
pronOrtionate in value, or as nearly so as
possible The plot was made, and the two
contestants then drew to decide which
tracts should 90 to each. Mr. Parsons
received d large tract fronting on
the bluff and small one on
the road, while Mr. Desvergers
got the smaller tract on the bluff and
large one on the road. 1t would be a hard
matter to say which got the best of it.
However, this being satisfactory to all
parties, a consent decree was asked for
and signed by the Judge.
The intervention of GOldstein Bros. and
others in the case of c. .. Baxter and
others against j. :. Tart was allowed by
the court.
4 QUESTION FOR THE CITY COURT.
The city court convened yesterday for
the July term. and the greater part Of
the session was spent in calling the docket
for ASSIGNMENTS Several default judg-
ments We're taken.
A question came up during the morning
on the matter of filing pleas to contested
cases. There was law upon tins point
passed in 1898 to which the attention of
the court was called. 1t is usual in the
court to file plea Of defense before the
case is called on appearance day other
wise a Judgment can be taken by default.
The law Of 1893 however, does away with
the plea of general issue, which was usual
in such cases, and requires a plea that
shall answer each allegation of
the PLAINTIFFS petition. This is consid-
cred hardship by many members OF the
bar, and it is considered that time 81 Ould
be allowed, Weei, at least, in which TO
file the plea as required by law. Some of
the attorneys thought the court could re
heve the situation by passing an order to
that effect. 1t has been held by some
courts that the enforcement of the letter
OF the law is jmpracticable Judge Mac
D0nell thought the best plan would be TO
refer the matter to a committee from the
bar, and this course will probably be
adopted
