A Car Purchase

Outstanding Promissory Notes

At H.M. Supreme Court on Tuesday, before his Honour Judge Grain, Messrs. H. S. Honigsberg Ca. were plaintiffs in an action against H. A. Clifton, to recover Ts. 1,025, balance of account on the purchase of a Buick car at Tls. 3,300. Major Holcomb appeared-for plaintiffs. Defendant did not appear and was not represented:

Solomon Libby, plaintiff's cashier, stated that defendant purchased the car in June, the terms-of payment being payment of Tls, 500 cash, and six promissory notes, of which he met four. The remaining two were for Ts. 450 in November and Tis, 575.20 in December, and neither had been paid. Defendant said he could not pay. He had the car.

Judgment was given for the amount claimed, with costs, and interest to date of payment.
