Argument was heard yesterday and
the case will be continued today
The plaintiff, it appears, purchased
twenty-five shares of stock in the
Metropolitan Association from one
Robert Seeland, who claimed to be an
agent of the Newark concern, with an
office in the Hoffman Building, Nor
ristown. Mrs. Lambert testified that
she was to pay for the shares in
monthly installments of $3.50. On
December IA, 1898, she alleges to have
paid Seeland $1,350 in return for
which she was to receive full paid
up shares. In order to obtain these
Seeland told the woman it would be
necessary to return the monthly pay
ment certificates to the Newark office.
About this time Mrs. Lambert went
to Philadelphia. She returned home
after several weeks to find awaiting
her, not the paid-up shares of the
Metropolitan Association that she had
expected, but certificates from the
American Building and Loan Associa-
tion, also of Newark. Seeland had
upon previous occasion informed
Mrs. Lambert that the stock of this
concern was as good as that of the
Metropolitan Association.
Later notice was received by the
woman from the savings and loan
COuC6LA AulOuul1uS uSA eheoV ASA
monthly payments were in arrears.
Letters of explanation were ex-
changed. Meanwhile Seeland left the
employ of the Metropolitan Associa-
tion.

nal certificates. The defendants claim
they have no knowledge Of Seeland s
transactions so far as paid up shares
are concerned. The case will prob
ably go to jury today.
