EQUITY HEARING
MONDAY BEFORE
JUSTICE SPEAR
American Ice Co. VS.. Executors
of VIM. T. Donnell Estate,
Bath-Decision Later

A hearing was held Monday morn
ing at the Kennebec county court
house before Associate Justice Spear
upon bill in equity brought by the
american Ice Co. against Harry H.
Donnell and William X. Donnell, ex-
ecutors of the estate of the late Will
liam t. Donneil of Bath. The plant
if company was represented by Judge
w. c. Atkins of Gardiner and E. C,
Plummer of Bath represented the de-
PENDANT.
The bill was to recover $1,000 for
dividends in a 2-64 interest in the
schooner Mary E. H. G.. Dow which
William T. Donnell, captain Of the
schooner, had collected and had in his
possession, mingled with the rest OF
his estate, at the time of his death
Oct. "a, 1910. His executors rendered
his estate insolvent Under this
state of facts the plaintiff did not file
any claim in the probate court against
the estate, on the assumption that the
dividends would be held by the de-
cedant as a separate fund against
which the statute Of limitations would
not run.
The defendant, however, claims that
the plaintiff by letting its claim slum-
Der for nearly four years was guilty
of laches and should not be permitted
to recover; although it is admitted
that there is sufficient of the estate
undistributed to pay the percentage
on the $4,000.
The issue which is evolved is
whether or not the plaintiff, in not
asserting it's claim before, is guilty
of culpable negligence. The court has
the matter under advisement.
