Matters in the Circuit Court.-Judge
Duncan has rendered an opinion in the case of
William ]. Dickey & Sons against Frederick
R. @. Heighe dismissing the bill filed by the
plaintiff to require the defendant to purchase
property in the First district which, it was
claimed he had agreed to buy at public auc-
tion. Mr. Heighe claimed that the property
had been plated, showing an avenue opening
through it, known as Della avenue, and that
said avenue was not opened in reality and that
when he became aware of this fact he did not
want the property. Judge Duncan, in his
opinion, reviewed the testimony and said that
both the advertisement for the sale of the
property and the plat of it conveyed the idea
that the avenue was opened. The court held
that Mr. Heighe was justified in refusing to
consummate the purchase.
