THE MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1914. Strange Court Case Tn tlic Circuit Court this week there has been a civil suit that hns attracted a lot of attention. In the case, C. J. Schocning it Co., Ltd., arc suing V. Miner for some three hundred odd dollars on account of automobile supplies sold. Attorney K. It. Bevins it. appearing for the plaintiff, and Attorneys D. II. Case and 15. Vincent represent the de fendant, who pleads a general denial of the indebtedness. The first hitch in the proceedings came when it was found necessary to appoint a commissioner to make an accounting of the books of Sehoening & Co., as relating to Miner's account. There was no objection made by either side to this at the time but, later on, an objection was made by the attorneys for the defense, who claimed that the commissioner V. F. Crockett exceeded his powers. However, this was cleared up by the judge putting Crockett on the stand and ascertaining from him that he had checked up the charge slips, day book and cash book, of Sehoening it Co., and had found the entries to be correct. The defense tncii brought up the question of delivery of the goods, and questioned the whole matter. Sehoening and Dan T Carey swore to the delivery of the goods that they, personally, had delivered, and declared that the other employees, acting as sales men for the company, had made the other deliveries, making th charge slip at the time, and hand ing the slips to the manager later on each day. Attorney Vincent then questioned Sehoening as to the incorporation of the firm, C. J. Sehoening it Co., Ltd. The manager testified to the registration of the firm in the Treas uror's office in Honolulu, and swore as to the certificate issued at that time. Vincent then asked if a notice re garding the formation of the 'in pany had been published in a Maui newspaper. The various objections of the attorney for the defense were overruled, and then the defense claimed that Sehoening & Co., had, some time before, tried to bring suit in the District Court for i smaller amount than now claimed Attorney Bevins showed that tin suit in the lower court had never come up for trial as, on the motion of the attorney for the defense, the matter had been thrown out of court because the bill of particulars had been attached to the complaint by brass paper fasteners, rather than by being pasted thereto. Other attempts to recover the alleged debt weie also turned down in the lower court on technical points before really coming to trial. Attorney Vincent took the point that, in bringing suit in the lower court, the plaintiffs had "waived" certain amounts in order to allow of the claim coming within the Dis trict Court jurisdiction. This point will be decided after the counsel for botli sides have filed briefs with Judge Kingsbury. Laymen who followed the pro ceedings, want to know whero tho manager of any store will get off, if his clerk's original entries of sales ..are not evidence enough of delivery. The whole mutter will probably be settled on Monday, but an appeal to the Supreme Court is very probable. CHURCH NOTES. Church of the Good Shepherd, Easter services.
