for S25l g. alleged to be for the furnishings of
the stable owned by the defendant in GARFIELD
Place
The legal squabbes between the Moubray broth
ers are OF long standing. and have been aired in
the courts many times Before 1878 they lived
pleasantly together with their mother. Susanna in
this city. In that year William inherited a con-
siderable property from an uncle in ireland and
as he was an engineer on one OF the coast steam
ers ana had little spare time he had his brother
go 10 ireland 10 get the money Edward Went
and in three years came back with about SIS ccN
He says that William gave s6.ono OF this to him
to start in business as builder and lent the
other 1900 10 him 10 he invested in the business
Inc brothers lived together until Edward mar
fied. and after that there was trouble and they
separated. William alleged that there had been
an oral agreement between him and his brother
whereby he was TO receive half of the profits in
the building business He said that he had not
given any of the money to Edward but that he
had lent the $4,000. and invested the rest Of the
money IN the business for his own profit Through
Josiah r Marean William began an action in the
supreme Court against his brother for an &C
counting for the return Of the money and for
one-half of all Of Edwards other property al
ieglng mat he had nothing at the time he received
the money from the plaintiff When the suit was

action was never placed trial. II was settled
William taking in full settlement Of his claim
$500 in cash and three parcels of property in
GLIDING the stable in Garfield Place and a nat
house in Seventh-ave.
Edward not satisfied with this arrange
ment afterward. however. and in 1893 ne brought
an action for the return of his real estate. Jus
tice Bartlett dismissed the case. and 1t was car
ried up 10 the Court of Appeals where It is now
pending. Then Edwards wife Margaret began an
action against William for SANDER alleging that
ne had attacked her chastity. and had told differ
ent people that she had poisoned her mother in
law. The case was tried before Justice Gaynor
ana me jury brought in a verdict in 5000 for
The plaintiff. hut Justice Gay1or reduced the YER
dict to $3.50 An appeal taken. and the case
+ pending before the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court.
II Is said that when the transfer of the stable
was made 10 William by Edward the latter said
that there were some things in the stable which
he would Ike TO take away. William consented
put now 1t is alleged that Edward says the agree
nleht gave 10 him the right 10 remove all the
furnishings OF the stable. 1t Is for the alleged
Vaiue OF these that he has begun one Of the pres
ent actions.
