PHILLIPS VERDICT
IN GULF IRONWORKS
Case. Jury Decided Plaintiff Had Am
ple Notice of Dissolution of Parteer
ship and Held Defendant Not
Liable;
The jury in the case of the Gulf Iron
Works vs. T. B. Phillips, which occupied
Monday afternoon and nearly all of Tues
day in Tift Superior Court, returned a
verdict in favor of Mr. Phlllipi late
Tuesday afternoon.
This was one of the most noted cuses
coming up at this term of court. It grew
out of Mr. Phillips’ connection with J.
U. Hobinson in the Garduer Lumber
Company at Garduer, Fla. The Gulf
Iron Works alleged that Mr. Phillips,
as partner in the Gardner Lumber Com
pany owed them on an open account
something over $1,000; aud attempted
to show that they had not received any
uotice of Mr. Phillip’s severing his con
ucctiou with J. It. Robinson, contending
had they received such notice no credit
would have been Extended. I Another
contention of the plaintiff was that the
account sued upon was a continuance of
a running account extending over
period of yeurs before the dissolution of
the partnership and that at no time had
a full settlement been made.
Mr. Phillips contended, and evidently
proved to the satisfaction of the jury,
that in the summer of 1010, he dissolved
partnership with J. R. Robinson in the
Gardner Lumber Company and that
S dge of the dissolution was brought
plaintiff by direct word of Rob
by jioticc in the Tampa Tri*
anij> th|it a^ the time of the dis-
i£ ne’^jin^ tjuit the Gulf Iron
Works account waa oatfinced, therefore
