row. Mr.. Denny, who is a resident of
Penns Grove. was represented by Attor-
ney Henry Burt Ware and Mr.. Brown,
who was at one time a constable of Allo-
way township, was represented by At
torney Thomas G. Hilliard.
MT. Denny DrouShl euI " ioSosei
$213.74 the amount of chattel mortgage
given him by Roland Carey in 1911 on
goods that Mr.. Denny sold to him.
Brown became the defendant because
in 1914. as constable, he sold Carey's
personal property to satisfy some claims.
1t was contended by Mr.. Denny that
some of the goods sold at that time were
covered by his chattel mortgage of 1911.
The defense was a denial of the com
plants claim and that Carey long be-
fore 1914 disposed of the goods that the
Denny mortgage covered.
The case went to the jury late Tues
day afternoon. They were out until
midnight. Being unable to agree they
were discharged by the Court.
