over by the executrix, without any
substantial enlargement, and from it a
family of thirteen persons has been
supported. The accounts aforesaid, es-
pecially the store accounts, are not ex-
Eactly correct and complete and could not
well be kept SO under the circum-
stances, the executrix and. her mother
and younger brothers who have at
tended to the store having had no ex-
had no person familiar with accounts
to aid them, and the store business has
been almost wholly a cash business in
which no accounts were kept, and the
cash taken in has been used from time
to time as occasions required for the
family's support and for current ex-
penses."
HASTILY PAID CLAIM.
Judge Robinson gave decision in
the case of S. c. Dwight V. R. w. Da-
Wis, in which plaintiff claimed $395.37
with interest and costs, being the
amount paid by plaintiff to Mrs. J. A.
King on August 81, 1905, under a judg-
ment rendered and execution issued in
her favor in previous action in which
Mrs. King was plaintiff and Davis de-
PENDANT.
In the former action Davis obtained
a writ of error to the Supreme Court
and filed a bond with Dwight as surety
conditioned to pay the judgment and
all Supreme Court costs if he failed to
sustain the writ. The sheriff levied on
property of the defendant, the costs
and expenses Of the levy being $13860.
Mrs. King paid that amount, thus re-
leasing the property. Thereafter she
made demand on the plaintiff for
$397.37, being the amount of the judg-
ment with interest, costs and expenses
of the levy. Dwight paid that sum,
made demand on Davis for the same
amount and, on his refusal to pay,
brought this action.
The court finds that under the terms
fha n1o int
to pay the additional costs and ex-
penses included in Mrs. Kings demand.
It therefore decides that the plaintiff is
not entitled to more than 1921 AZ, the
amount of the judgment rendered by
the district magistrate, with legal in
terest thereon from August 81, 1905, to
date.
