ecclesiastical council, composed of repre-.

Wants the Notes Paid.

Henry c. Risdon has instituted pro-
ceedings against George M. Wells, of
Moorestown, and Franklin Lightcap, OF
Medford, as test suit on two promissory
notes of 500 each, that were given with
SO others to aid the Burlington County
Agricultural Society when it needed f.
nancial assistance. When the notes be-
came due they were renewed by the pay
ment of SIS on each. Then the sale of per-
sonal effects went to the account of those
who gave the notes, Mr. Risdon acting as
trustee. While having no doubt about
most of his powers in that capacity, Mr..
Risdon was not sure that he could bring
suit for the entire sum for the other note
holders, so he has sued for the amount
that each would be individually liable for
81. %. If he secures verdict, the others
will probably follow his example.
Messrs. Wells and Lightcap refused to
take up their notes on the ground that
the society did not live up to its contract
When the money was borrowed it was
stipulated that the notes should be paid
out OF the first receipts of the succeeding
fair, but that was not done.
