JUDCE.CITES THE CASE OF MICAWBER Chsrl Dickens -wis featured as dlscipl of Blackston tn a decision given In the circuit court this morning oy rresiaing judge George. - He re rerrea to tne famous case of "Mlcawber vs. Sklmpole, In th first Dickens," giv ing cnapter and page, and pointed parallel between that case and the suit or Dan Marx against S. H. and L. C. Greene, to recover on a promissory note. In his complaint Marx alleged the Greenes gav him a promissory note for $41. to be "paid In four months, No vember 10, 1800, the note being secured by a chattel mortgage. He asserted that with the consent of the defendants a set qf ths Encyclopedia Britannloa had been told for $100, this being the only amount ever paid on the note. The Greenes denied giving permis sion to sell the books. They claimed there was no consideration for the note. and that It was merely a renewal of an old one.. In passing opinion . Judgs George allowed Marx 1376 and a fore closure on th book.. He went Into the details of the transaction, and. said In conclusion; 'It appears that th defendants, like the case ot Mlcawber vs., Sklmoole, In the 1st Dickens, furnish us with I unique system of finance. They en deavor to have the court credit bank ruptcy notes on the principal; that la. the notes given for usurious Interest Mlcawber always thanked the Lord that his debts were paid aa soon as he gave his L O. U It never occurred to him that bankruptcy would add anything to the efficacy of the note. There is, it appears, a parallel In this case.", m " r COMPLETING PLANS FOR BIG RALLY Democrats of Multnomah county will give- enthuslaatlo Indorsement Friday evening to the- nominations of Parker and Davis.
