Whitehouse VS.. Bolster and trustees
This case was given to the jury at 1890
and they retired to their room for it's
consideration, the court directing the
sheriff to furnish them with dinner. At
ter being out over four hours, the jury
returned their verdict, which consists
of six special findings as to the several
sums going to make up the 1921 in is
sue. The result is that the plaintiff
gets approximately $4,000 and the claim
ant, Mrs. Bolster. the balance.
VIM. S. Henry. Jr., VS.. David Dennis.
L. C. Cornish for plaintiff, A. NJ. Spear
for defendant. This is an action on the
case to recover damages in the sum of
5000 for alleged false and fraudulent
representations in the purchase and
sale of a certain quantity of wool. The
plaintiff in 1896 was doing business in
Boston as a wool merchant. and the de-
PENDANT, who resides in Gardiner, was
a stakeholder in the Gardiner Wooden
Co, and also its president and di-
rector.
The plaintiff says that the Wooden
Co. negotiated with him for the pur-
chase of some wool, and that the de-
PENDANT by letter touching the financial
condition of the company, and to in
duce him to sell on credit to the COM
pany, falsely and fraudulently repre-
scented to him that any bill it might
contract would be duly paid: that the
company owed only Il small amount
outside of what it owed its directors.
and that the directors had too much at
stake to lose all for that small amount;
that said mill was doing well and the
cloth made by it was being sold at a
fair profit.
The plaintiff claims that he relied
wholly upon these representations and
sold and delivered the wool upon credit
and that ii turned out that the com
pany was insolvent: it was owing large
sums outside of the amount due the
directors and the mill was not doing
we'll and that they We're not selling
their goods at any profit. and plaintiff
was unable to collect anything of the
company.
There is also writ of the same
plaintiff against the same defendant
to recover 1920 on precisely the same
grounds, and both cases are tried to-
gether They have been before tried
and are now back from the law court
for rc-trial. The testimony was unfin-
ished when court adjourned
