A Decision of Local Interest

In an opinion by Judge Hobson
the Court of Appeals on Saturday
held that if money is placed in the
hands of stakeholder to abide an
event, either party may notify the
stakeholder not to pay it over to
the winner, and if he does so may
recover the amount from him. The
decision was rendered in the case
of III. Clay Turner against w. w.
Thompson, appealed from the Mont
gomery Circuit Court, and is a re-
versal of the judgment of that
court. Turner made bet of $500
on the Pre- -idential race in 1896
with w. S. Lloyd. of Mt. Sterling.
Appellee Thompson was stake
holder and paid the money to

ner not to do so.
