of possession of key, but really of a
house for year. The suit was Her.

wards returned it to the plaintiff.
Later he borrowed the key again and
this time the plaintiff claims it was
loaned under an agreement to return
Immediately. The defendant gave
the key to Mr.. Blanchard and when
asked for it later told the plaintiff
that Mr.. Blanchard had it. This suit
resulted.
The plaintiff put in his evidence but
the defendant stood on point of law

plaintiff and so the action would not
lie. Justice Heath rendered judg-
ment for the plaintiff to recover 81. so

the defendant will take an appeal.
T. j. and E, H. Deavitt appeared for

COLLINS & RIGGS
FAIL FOR 100000.
ALL BUILDING OPERATIONS REOUIR.
ING LUMBER HALTED IN MILFORD.
A. ". Powell Largest Creditor. Having
Sold Collins & Riggs the Mill Sit
uated Near Depot few Months

When the people of Milford learned
on Thursday Of last week that the firm
Of Collins & Riggs were in the hands of
Sheriff Steele, of Sussex County,a a wave
Of sympathy for the firm. and dread
of the results Of their failure on this
community in q business way, ran over
the Whole town. They have been large
employers oflabor for several years past;
in fact the principal employing firm Of
the place. 1t was learned that the firm
owed money, but not even their most
intimate friends dreamed that they had
so much as $4,000 of negotiable paper
out, and having kept their credit good
In the bank, no one felt any alarm. 1t
appears that the firm lost heavily on a
contract they had recently completed
for the United States government by
building light house for it at the
mouth Of Mahon's River; but even that
caused no special alarm; as they had
another contract with the government
to build a dyke at the mouth Of the
Mispillion River. which should yield n
handsome profit, if properly managed.
with this condition OF affairs existing.
no one thought of their immediate fail
ure.
Sheriff Steel took charge about noon:
but it was thOnght that some arrange
ment could be made and the firm con-
tinue on in business; but when those
wholwould have come to their assistance
found tre extent of the Indebtedness, it
was thought best to have them go into
either liquidation or a reeeivership. All
Of this week creditors from outside
points have been in consultation with
local creditors, and>sn effort has been
made to arrange a re"eivership. Should
this plan be carried out, all of the live
stock will be sold off and the business
of lumber and milling be continued foT
the best common interest of all, By
this plan it is believed that fifty Orsixty
cents on the dollar may be realized.
Roth Mr.. Collins and Mr., Riggs have
the sympathy of all who know them.
Before going into the mill and lumber
business with MIR. Collins, Mr. Riggs
had followed the sea for years, and had
accumulated about ten thousand dol
lars; and that was all swallowed up in
the failure. Mr.. Collins had been en-
paped in the mill business for many
years. Both were soldiers in the Wal
of the Rebellion.
