CONNOT PRESS
COURT SUIT
Vice Chancellor Foster Rules
in Favor of Local Hotel
Men

Under a ruling of Vice C1ancel-
Tor Foster the Lembeck & Betz Eo-
gle Brewing Company, u known
as the New Jersey Refrigerating
Company, is prevented from prose
cutting . suit pending In the Hud-
son county circuit of the supreme
court against Joseph Massoprst and
John Kutcher of this city. on a
prcmissory note given by them to
the defendant for s~2,025.25. on the
ground 1T an alleged oral agreement
between the parties that complain
ants were not to be liable for the
payment of the note, nor the chattel
mortgag. given as security there
fore, urless they refused IL pur-
chase the lager beer of the defend
ant. The ruling of the vice chan
cellor is of interest to h.tel men
generally because of the condition
under which they were for iced to
purchase bar room fixtures and
which nave become useless since
prohibition. Thomas Brown repre-
scented TIE compliments and ID. Eu-
gene Blalkenhorn the defendants.
According to the papers in the
case. the complainants agreed in
January, 1917, to purchase the sa-
loon business or George G. Hriczko
of this city for s2S. 900, and to as
sumo his Indebtedness. At that time
the brewing company held a mort
gage of $4,000 on the property and
a'so a note and chattel mortgage on
the fixtures for $1,895.25.
In March, 1918, as a result of
federal regulations limiting the use
of cereals and coal, all the brewery's
customers were rationed and the
price increased to SO for a half bar
rel of beer. When the complainants
found they were being charged SIT
a barrel So of which was being cred
tied on the chattei mortgage, they
objected, and the defendants ceased
making deliveries. Therefore the
plaintiffs for the first time purchased
beer from other breweries. Payment
on the note and mortgage was not
demanded until after the enactment
of the Volstead act.
In his opinion Vice Chancellor
Foster points out that: "As the law
itself prevents complainants from
performing their agreement: it nee
essarily follows that the law also
relieves them from a lawful promise
that it would now be unlawful for
them to perform, and also relieves
them from any liability or penalty
for non-performance under such
circumstances"
