SUES FOR A COMMISSION.
Burgess & Son Asked for 500 for As
SiStance in Selling Stallion.

Fred. Barnes has commenced an
action against Robert Burgess &
Son, stallion breeders, to recover
500 commission alleged to be due
him by reason of assisting in the
sale of one of their stallious.
The firm has had four animals in
this city for some time past with
the view of selling them to farmers
in this neighborhood. The stall
lions were kept in the barn Of
Barnes Bros, and the plaintiff in
this action alleges that Burgess &
Son, aside from paying for barn
rent, feed, ETC., of the animals,
agreed to pay him s100 comm ssion
for each stallion he assisted the
defendants in selling.
Early last week one Of the animals
was sold to syndicate headed by
VIM. Whittet of Delhi township.
Mr.. Barnes claimed that he assisted
in the sale, but Burgess & Sons
refused 10 recognize that he had
any thing to do with ii, and refused
10 turn over the commission. I'm
mediatel y after the refusal was
made Mr.. Barnes retained Bowers
q Howard to commence a suit in
municipal court for the commission,
and at the same time sued out a
writ OF attachment on one of the
remaining stations for a sufficient
amount to recover the commission.
Mr.. Barnes gave a bond to protect
the owners from damage, ETC., in
case he lost the suit.
Sheriff Schueller is now boarding
the attached animal at Ed. Pratt S
stable, where Burgess & Son have
also placed their three other hors-
es pending sales.
The case is to be tried on Aug.
18th, before Judge Laudon, and it
is likely that the losing side will
