NO CAUSE FOR ACTION RULING
MADE IN MATAWAN CASE

MATAWAN, Aug. 24.-No cause
for action. was the verdict of a
twelve man jury in the recorders
court here yesterday, when John Hill
of Keyport sued William Conover al
SO of Keyport for one of the strang-
est bills eYe seen in this part Of
the country. Mr.. Hill was represent
ed by Attorney John p. Lloyd and
Mr. Conover by Attorney William
ITansey of Newark. The jury declar-
ed that Mr.. Hill must pay a bill of
s17.35 to a garage in Freehold and
also pay a bill he owed Mr.. Con-
over amounting to $22. After the
verdict had been rendered Mr.. Hills
attorney gave notice that he would
appeal the case.
According to Recorder Gustav
Gesswein the evidence brought out
in the case, showed that Mr.. Hill
took two of his automobiles to the
IConover garage to have them repair
ed. He then took the cars from the
.Conover garage and finding that they
did not meet with satisfaction, in
stead of taking them back to Con-
over, had them taken to Freehold
and again repaired. In bringing suit
Mr.. Hill endeavored to make Mr..
Conover responsible for the bill at
the Freehold garage and have him
pay it. The jury could not see it
this way and so the verdict was
found for the defendant.
