OLD DAMAGE SUIT REVIVED.
More papers were filed in the Circuit
Court yesterday in the resumed dam
age action of Jim All Hoy V. ]. H.
Raymond, Waterhouse Trust Company
and Phoebe Raymond these being the
joint and several answers and plea of
the defendants The plea is that the
suit was voluntarily and absolutely
dismissed by a discontinuance filed
which constitutes an adjudication
against the plaintiff on the merits of
his claims set forth in his bill of com
plant. ON this ground the defendants
pray Judgment.
The original damage action, as stated
in Jim All Hoy's bill of complaint, was
based on the claim that the Raymonds
induced him to sign a bill of sale of
his Waikiki butcher shop to settle an
alleged debt of $1250 due from the
plaintiff to the Waterhouse Trust Co.,
trustees for James H. and Phoebe
Raymond, representing the instrument |
to be merely power to collect. All |
Hoy claimed that he owed neither the |
Raymonds nor the Trust Company and |
signed the bill of sale without knowing |
what it was, relying implicitly on the |
word of J. N. Raymond.
Later this bill of sale was presented |
as evidence in suit brought to secure /
possession of the property.
