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 responsible for any future action of the Gurdner Lumber Compan.v There \vus no evidence to dispute till and the itemized 'accouut introduced a evidence showed the first charge of tie account that totaled the amount suei Upon was made October olst, 1910.
