In H.M. Supreme Court on Thursday morning before Judge G. W. King Mr. P. A. Troshan sued Capt, Walter G. Youngs for the sum of $75, which he said was due for board and lodging during the month of November last year.
In proof of his claim complainant produced a note signed by Capt. Youngs which admitted the debt. Capt. Youngs, he said, had been in the house about three months, had paid for two months board' and lodging, but on leaving had given complainant the note, saying he had no money, and had since made no. effort to redeem it.
Captain Youngs after scrutinizing the paper refused to admit that it: was correct. Asked if he would deny the signature, he replied that hho was not sure but could not recollect: ever having signed it, Judge King then asked complainant whether he had seen Capt. Youngs write the note. Capt. Youngs interrupted continually saying he wanted to ask questions and when told by Judge King, that he, the Judge, was putting the question for the defendant, replied:—Let me do it. I can do. better, si Capt. Youngs, however, beyond saying he could not remember signing, declaring he had been tricked into signing when he was drunk, vd saying that the note, which said:—"Due for board and lodging the sum of $75. Dated 4, 1927. (Signed) W. C. Youngs, Should' collect during December" did' not say who owed the money, could bring no evidence that he did not owe the complain ant $75, and judgment was given the complainant for that amount plus court costs.
