S. II. Sherman V. James Cain and
First Baptist society trustee, was a
case tried before Justice Newton Tues
day 1t was an action to recover s66
rent and the only fight was whether
the trustee was holden or not. The
Baptist society through C. +. X.
JENNIE. treasurer, disclosed that the
committee gave Cain an order for
S26.75 for work and he presented it
and was paid So on account. Cain
told Will Smith, collector for the so
ciety, to take out of the balance 50, his
yealry pledge for '94, but this appeared
to have been after the trustee writ was
served. Gains counsel claimed that
there should be deducted SO note |
which Cain gave towards the church
repairs. but which was outlawed. |
Either of these deductions would leave
the balance too small to be trustced. |
The claim of plaintiffs counsel was
that the deductions, if any were to be
made. should have been made before |
giving the order, which was negotiable |
and which might have gone to third |
party and been collected and the cred
itor ought to have an equal right.
Cain had demanded payment of the
balance several times and boon refused,
partly because of shortage of funds
and partly because his wife had re-
luested that it be paid to her. The
court gave judgment for the full
S66 as against Cain and held
The trustee for the 81. 70. Waterman,
Martin & Hit for plaintiff, Haskins e.
