Innortant Decision.

Those who contemplate making sale
NAV find the following article OF interest:
In the Circuit Court of Frederick
county in the case of Wachter VS.. Huller.
involving the sale of thrashing outfit at
public sale for $50 knocked down to
Hut1er and which he later refused TO
take. and which WaChter sought by suit
to compel hlm to take.
In the trial of this case M-ssrS. A. d.
Willard and NJ G. Urner, vino were at
tornevs for Hutfer raised a point OF law,
which probably has never before been
raised in this court, and an account OF
which MessrS. Stoaer and Weinberg were
compelled to suffer a non pros Tor their
client and the case dropped.
In this case the law bearing upon the
case was taken from jh- Statute Of
Frauds, an English statute passed during
the reign of Charles II oil England in
1876. This statute is still law in this
State and was the one upon which the
Wachter. Hutfer case was decided, it
being held by Judge Moiter that auction
sales come within the Statute of Frauds
The section relating to the sale, and
upon which the case was decided fol-
lows: Aud he it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid. that after the said
fourth and 2o,n day of June, no contract
for the sale of any goods. wares and
merchandise. for the price Of ten pounds
sterling or upwards, shall be allowed to
be good. except the buyer shall accept
part of the goods so sold, and actually
receive the same, or give something in
earnest to bind the bargain or in part
payment. or that some note or memo
randum in writing OF the said bargain be
made and signed by the parties TO be
charged by such contract or their
agent thereun'o properly authorized "
MessrS Willard and Urner IN the case
made the point that the memorandum
made in the Wachter- Huffer sale was not
sufficient under the statute. The court
sustained the point The question is a
most important one. and has several
times been in the Court of Appeals of
Maryland, cases being cited in the Ist
and Goth MARYLAND The case is one of
especial interest to farmers and all those
who are having sale.
