THURSDAY EVENING. MAY ., 1895.
seldom VS.. ROSENBAUM.

The long pending suit of Thomas
Seldom against NJ. Rosenbaum's execu-
tors and executrix was settled in the
Law and Equity Court in Rich
mond on Tuesday, the jury in the case
bringing in verdict for the plaintiff in
the sum of S13, 800 This controversy
is one of the most novel ever tried in a
Virginia tribunal. Some years ago
while en- route to Washington Messrs.
Seldom and Rosenbaum became engag-
ed in conversation concerning Rich
mond and Dapvilie stock, and bet was
proposed, but abandoned, as it would not
have held legal. The result of the con-
versation upon the subject was that an
agreement was entered into whereby
Mr.. Rosenbaum was to furnish Nlr. sea,
don with $50 shares of Richmond ana
Danville stock, which was then selling
at so, any time within the next three
wears. when the stock might be
called for by Mr.. Seldom, at 80. Mr.
Joseph BRYAN, of Richmond, who was
present at the time, made memoran-
dunn of the transaction. In July, 1886,
Mr.. Seldom sent mis- check through his
brokers in Richmond to Mr.. Rosen
baum for the $50 shares of Richmond
and Danville stock, which was at that
time selling at $50, but which had at
one time after the agreement was en-
tered into fallen as low as IS. MIR.
Rosenbaum informed Mr.. Seldom that
he had no stock for him. Suit was
then insttuted;in the Circuit Court of
Richmond and finally verdict was
rendered for the defendant. An ap
peal was taken to the Court of Appeals.
The Judgment of the lower court was
reversed and the case went back to the
Circuit Court. but was transferred to
the Law and Equity Court. Yester--
day the jury in the latter tribunal
brought in verdict in accordance
with the above. Counsel for the de-
PENDANT moved to set the verdict aside,
but this was overruled by the court
and the defendant excepted and filed
his bill of exceptions. Judgment was
suspended.
