Decision in the Boom Case

Last week IN the Supreme Court
of Appeals at Richmond. in the
celebrated suit of Reed and Nc
COrmick vs.. Thomas ID. Gold. re-
ceiver, from the Circuit Court of
Clarke county; which was handed
down by Judge T.W. Harrison. of
Winchester, the opinion is written
by Judge Keith, president of the
urt.and affirms the Circuit Court.
The opinion is a yoluminus one of
twenty typewriter pages.
This case grows out Of the land
boom and subscriptions to land
company the defendant being sued
as delinquent stakeholder Of the
Berryville Land and Improvement
Company by the receiver, the
plaintiff in the original suit. Gold
served written notice on Reed and
Mccormick, in obedience to the
order of the court in chancery
suit, that lac would ask for iudg-
ment for S41O.sO.
The defendants demurred to the
notice. stating three causes. The
court holds that the demurrer in
case was properly Overruled. hold
/ ing that n motion for a Indictment
under the statue Is an action at law.
where notice takes the place of a
writ and declaration. The notice
sufficiently describes and sets out
the cause for action. The other
ground for demurrer Is equally
without merit.
The learned Judge carefully con-
sidered a dozen other technical
points imposed by the plaintiff in
error, and with ample authorities
to sustain him, dismissed each in
turn. Concluding his very exhaus-
tive and learned opinion. the Judge
concludes:
That the court rendered judg-
ment upon the demurrer to the evil
dence in favor of the defendant in
error. We have considered at
length the question of law arising
upon the record. and do not care
to prolOng this opinion by an un-
profitable discussion of facts. We
are mindful of the rule invoked
applicable to demurrers to evil
dence, and we are of the opinion
that. SO considered. the evidence
was insufficient to support a YER
dict for plaintiffs in error.and that
upon the whole case there was no
error in the Judgment of the Cir
cult Court, which Is affirmed"
