CAPTAIN WEATHERBY SEEKS yINDIcATIoN
An interesting case to boatmen is now
pending in the Camden County Court, be-
tween Curtin Richenback and Captain Ben
jamin Weatherby Of Pedricktown. 1t seems
that the parties had contracted with refer
ence to the sale of steamboat called the
Morris. Captain Weatherby took pos
session and was to assume ownership at the
end Of the year. if the boat came up to repre-
sensations. Subsequently she was returned
to her owner by Weatherby. The owner re-
fused to admit that she had not come up to
his representations and thereupon brought
suit on note given by Captain Weatherby
at the expiration Of the year. Defence was
made to the suit through counsel in Salem,
and trial of the merits was earnestly
looked forward to by the defendant.
| Like thunderbolt from a clear sky Cap
tain WeatherbY was visited by Sheriff a
few days ago, who forthwith proceeded to
attach all Of his available property whether
fixed, or floating, to satisfy judgment rem
dered against him in this case. Immediate
demand was made of his counsel, why the
case had been called and no notification
given him. This inquiry disclose the fact,
that the case had been called and had pro-
ceeded in the absence Of bis counsel, who
had likewise failed to notify him Of its near
approach to trial. Captain Weatherby, loath
! to accept such situation uncomplainingly,
engaged other counsel in Camden, and an
order was Immediately secured from the
Court raising the attachment and fixing
the time for hearing later on.
! Capt Weasherby feels keenly dissappoint-
ed over the fiaso Of the trial in view
Of the fact that he was prepared and
ready to set up complete defense,
had he been properly notified. To use his
own language.
