Jeanne Masseboeuf, trading (as Chiffons, was plaintiff. at H.M. Supreme Court on Thursday in claim against L. J. Parlane to recover $300.75, a dressmaker's bill. Plaintiff told his Honour Judge Grain that the account was for a trousseau ordered in June, 1921. Defendant had kept on promising to pay, at the rate of $50 a month, but nothing had been paid.
Plaintiff produced a letter in which defendant disputed the amount, but added that he was a busy man and had no time "'to investigate and argue."
"You seem to have been very pat-lent indeed," said his Honour, in giving judgment for the amount claimed, with costs.
