Want Their Fees.

On Saturday, Justice Clevenger heard
evidence in the suit of Gilbert & Atkinson
VS.. Theodore Phillips, of Mount Holly.
In 1898 Phillips had little unpleasant
ness with girl named Bullock, and as
result he spent short time in the Jail at
Mays Landing. Gilbert & Atkinson were
called upon to render legal services. Fol
lowing this they became the counsel of
Phillips and were frequently consulted by
him. Mr.. Atkinson, on the stand, told the
story in his inimitable manner He said
the amount charged for some of the con-
situations averaged 25 cents Once the
services were in horse deal where a
ringer" was sold as a horse without a
record, another time was in a case in
which u S. Culinary secured a verdict,
and still another was a breach of promise
suit with Miss Bullock as plaintiff
1t was this last case which broke the
camels back. Messrs. Weaver & West
cott Camden lawyers. stepped into the
breach, and as Atkinson related it ''stole
my client and are now trying to cheat me
out of my fees" 1t seems that the law
yers referred to got Phillips to settle the
suit, which he did in spite of the protest
of his own counsel Gilbert & Atkinson
collected rents due Phillips and in the
suit on Saturday claimed a balance of
$24291
The defence claimed that Atkinson had
not figured correctly. He had not col
lected all the rents he said he had, nor did
he make any demand for commissions for
that service until he brought this suit
His accounts were incorrect and Phillips
had paid cash which had not been credited
and as a matter of fact instead of the lat
ter owing the lawyers it was contended
Gilbert & Atkinson had in their possession
about 5000 which should be deducted from
the amount they sued for. In his testi-
mony Phillips corroborated the statements
thus outlined by his counsel, but on cross
examination he weakened somewhat, es-
pecially on the matter of commissions for
collecting rent, stating that he understood
that the firm would be paid for services in
that line.
The justice reserved his decision until
to- morrow.

New Epvnt.

Miss Florence VAIN, of Cream Ridge,
while returning home from New Egypt
on Sunday evening of last week, had her
wagon blown over by the terrific wind
storm which passed through this section,
and did great damage. Miss VAIN was
thrown to the ground and the horse ran
on, tearing the top from the buggy, and
wrecking the wagon very badly. Miss
VAIN escaped with few bad bruises
The will of DR.. Charles E. Woodward,
of New Egypt, was probated Tuesday.
Several small requests are made. Mrs
Story R. Harker receives 800, George w.
Dunphee a similar sum and the right to
life occupancy of dwelling he now lives
in, and Jacob A. McKaig, $50. His bro
ther, Abner Woodward, is the residuary
legatee. Both of his sons, Charles and
Israel, are cut off without mention in. his
will. Oscar F. Horner is the executor.
The New Egypt Packing Company
made an assignment with Oscar F. Horner
as assignee on Tuesday. Last summer
was pad one Tor the company's packing
house, as the tomato crops of farmers of
this locality all failed The concern was
a cooperative affair, managed by the
farmers and merchants of New Egypt,
and its assignment means that various di
rectors who gave personal notes, hoping
to tide the company over it's embarrass-
ment, lost the amounts in the crash. The
liabilities are about $4,000, and the credi-
tors are numerous. The assets are but
$4S6.24, as inventoried by the assignee
There will be nothing left for the creditors
as there is rent bill due. The liabilities
include note for $4,000 in the Nights
town bank, partially secured by personal
notes of the directors.
