Tn this case th2 plaintiff sued the defendant for a board and lodging bill of S64 and having ob- tained judgement garnished diamonGs worth $2OO held by G. H. Hirschfield as security for loan. In this matter there was also a Judgement for the plaintiff and nothing remained to be done but to sell the diamonds for the satisfac- ton of the judgement. A notice of ap- peal had been given but the appeal was not perfected for want of bone. The defendant has lately returned from a visit to the east. taken she says ili the affidavit, at the request of her phy- sician in order that she might evade an untimely grave and on her return the time had passed within which she could find any other relief save that afforded by writ of certiorari. It is also alleged in the affidavit that the claim against her is unjust; that she has already paid Mrs. Monihon more than she owed her; that she did nos board and room with her during all the time alleged in the complaint and this portion of the affidavit is supported by one Harry Hall who accompanied Mrs. Metcalf east in her search for health and who some of the authorities here say ought to be competent witness concerning her abiding places any time within the last six months.
