Judgment for $666.16 with costs was entered by Judge P. Grant Jones in H. M. Supreme Court yesterday for Mr. J, A. Thompson, proprietor of Messrs. J. A. Thompson & Ca, of Szechuen Road in a counter claim against Mr. A. C: Davis, local shorthand writer. The counter claim was fora sum of $6,072.72.
Represented by Mr. R. L. Stuart, Thompson claimed that Davis and he were equally responsible for profits and losses of a company in which they were partners, and which was floated by them. In an action in 1986 Davis was awarded judgment against Thompson for a sum of $3,262.44 with interest for money lent on' a promissory note but a stay of execution was ordered pending the hearing of the counter claim. ' At the hearing of the counter claim Davis was represented by Mr. P. Watkin Williams.
Thompson alleged that the costs of the company in which, he stated, Davis had agreed to share the costs, were more than the sum claimed oh the promissory note. Describing it as an ti pleasant and complicated controversy, His Lordship stated that the evidence showed a sharp discrepancy as to the terms on which the parties embarked on "this hazardous adventure."
