KE0UGh WANTS A NEW TRIAL,
Claims That The Verdict Glysn in Favor Of German
Should Be- Sci Aside.

The case of Michael German VS.. Pat
rick Keough was heard by the appellate
court toCay on the defendants motion
for new trial. German sued 10 recov-
or rent at the rate of $25 "A month for 1S
months The defendant filed a claim in
set off amounting TO S20.74S for money
paid FOR liquors purchased Of the plain
tiff that the plaintiff knew were to be
sold illegally. The Jury gaXe- -plaintiH- a
verdict for $3.50.
The grounds on which new trial Is
asked are that the verdict is agadns {
the Law and the evidence and the weight
thereof; that the trial Justice erred in
matters OF law in his rulings, in rsfus-
ing to permit evidence TO go to the Jury
on the question OF the defendants set
off and in refusing To charge the jury
as requested by the defendants coun-
sci.
Gen. Brennan argued the case for
the defendant The main point is in re-
gard to set off. Walter + Angem. who
was associated with p. j. Mccarthy as
counsel for plaintiff argued that a claim
To be available i'm set off must be one a
party can sue on in his own name. The
defendant set up a special contract
which was illegal and void and this
agreement being illegal neither party
could enforce IT. The defendant could
not sue in his own name hence he could
not plead the matter In set off.
