ASSlGNEES' RIGHTS.
TIE SUPREME COURT REVERSES
A JUDGMENT.
Aasignors Cannot Deprive Ass,gnees of
Their Rights by Keassign'ng Evil
denoss of Debt to Others.

The supreme court has reversed the
judgment OF the superior court OF San
Diego county in the suit Of Works ct al. i,
respondents, We. Merritt. appellant,
which was decided in favor OF the
plaintiff.
On the 9Th Of February, 1891. Merritt
was indebted to the Story & Isham
Commercial company in 1925 for mes-
chandise. On the same day the COM
pany assigned the debt to Mrs. A. B.
Storey, as security for money paid.
After this assignment, Merritt gave q
proTiosory note to Mrs. Story for the
amount, which shs accepted and re-
csipted for. Prior to defendant giving
th:a note 20 Mrs. Story, The Story q
lsham Commercial company had again
assigned the claim to one Miller. who in
turn assigned IL to Worke ct al. Both
Miller and the plaintiff in this action
had been informed that tho debt had
previously been assigned to MrE. Story.
Later on Works ct nj. sned Merritt for
the 1923 snd recovered judgment. the
court below holding that there had been
no assignment to Mrs. Story.
At the time that the account OF the
defendant was assigned to Mrs. Story,
the corporation was indebted to her,
and as fnrther obligation for the assign
ment, che obligated herself to pay its H.
debtedness and thereby acquired the
right TO collect them for her own roim-
bursement. 1t was then no longer com
potent for the company to deprive nor
OF this right, either by collecting the
acc unit itself or by al assignment to
another with the knowledge Of the pres
vIous Assignment to her.
Tho superior court holds that it was
incumbent upon the plaintiH and not
the defendant to show that the Story q
Isham Commercial company had not
collected oil the money which it had re-
served the right 10 use in its business.
The assignment to Mrs. Story included
all the aecounts and it was Tor the plain
tltfs TO show that this $525 was within
the exception. The reservation was

TERRITORIAL COURT.
Special Term of District Court Mon
day-Netable Criminal Cases
Threat to Prevent
the Term.

Owing to lack of funds the last two
or three terms of the territorial district
court for Santa Fe county have practi-
eally goLe by default. Consequently a
large quantity of important business, in
GLIDING number of notable criminal
cases, has accumulated on the docket,
greatly to the discomfort of most law
yers and litigants and much to the dis
satisfaction of needlessly burdened tax
payers. Realizing the seriousness of the
situation and the manifest importance of
clearing the long overburdened docket,
Judge Laughlin decided to convene a
special term of the territorial district
court as soon as the necessary funds for
the purpose were provided by the legisla-
ture.
Accordingly such special term was
formally called to meet at the court
house on Monday, March Is; grand and
petit jurors were duly drawn about three
weeks ago, and the venires have since
been served bv the sheriff. In order to
avoid justification for complaint of uu-
fairness several prominent Republicans
and Democrats were specially invited to
witness the drawing of the jurors, and, III
order to avoid the needless expense of
summoning ineligible jurors, the judge
| caused the tax books to be examined at
the time Of the drawing, and the names of
persons drawn who had not paid their
taxes, and hence we're not qualified, were
! not placed Oh the lists.
| Now the contention is made by certain
attorneys who have ugly criminal cases
| pending that the drawing was irregular.
| that all the names drawn should have
| been placed on the list and the question of
ineligibility determined after the opening
of court, and on this ground an effort is
threatened to prevent the holding of the
special term. As usual lawyers differ but
the weight of opinion seems to sustain
the action taken by Judge Laughlin.
Among the notable criminal cases on
the docket are those of the territory
against Francisco Gonzales Borrego,
Antonio Gonzales y Borrego, Chino Ala.
rid and Patricio Valencia, accused of the
murder Of Francisco Chaves several years
ago and held by Judge Seeds without
bail. If these defendants and their attor-
neys are willing to have their trials longer
postponed, the taxpayers of this county
are certainly not willing longer to be
burdened with the cost of boarding them
in the county Jail.
