There was a lawsuit last Thursday be-
fore Justice William r. Adams between
Thomas Maddron of Bethel, plaintiff and
William Quinlen of Barre, defendant. |
1t seems that last December a sparring
match was arranged between Maddron
and Riler of Barre and each side put up |
$50 as forfeit. The match was prevented |
by the city authorities and was never |
fought. Mr.. Quinlen was stakeholder. |
There was some talk about a subsequent /
meeting between the men at Graniteville /
and Quinlen claimed that such a meeting |
had been arranged, but that Maddron /
failed to appear and that under the terms 4
of the putting up of the forfeit, the stake 1
money then belonged to Riley and he had 1
paid it to him. Maddron claimed tat he 4
had said he would meet Riley elsewher I
il the match could come off without sub
jecting himself to arrest or legal interior
ence and that he had been advised by /
legal counsel that if he fought as planned 1
at Graniteviile he would be liable
to Imprisonment for ten years and so he
did not appear. Quinlen also claimed
that the action would not lie as it was for
wager. Fred Arnold appeared for Mad
dron and G. s. Swasey of Barre for Qrin-
len. TIE trial was by jrry, who returned
verdict for plaintiff for S46 81 and his
costs.
