SIC USD CASE
IS NOW SETTIED
Judge Max Isaac Handed
Down Important De
cision Yesterday
GARBUTT AND GODDARD CASE
Seven Thousand Dollars Worth of
Property at Fendig Was Involved.
Decision is Against Plea of
W. W. Wiggins.
Judge Max ’saac handed down his
decision in the case of W. M. Wiggins
against GarbttU and Goddard, bank
mpts in the bankruptcy court yester
day overruling the objections tiled
bv Wiggins to the application of the
trustee for permission to sell the as
sets of i lie estate.
The case was tried some time ago
81 ‘1 fAie hearing lasted four days. The
controversy arose out of the sale by
Wiggins to Garbuti and Goddard of
i 7.009 worth of property at Fendig,
f. Wayne county, upon which Garbutt
and Goddard ’.ad paid about $2,000 in
cash and gave their notes for this hal
uiico and promised to have the notes
endorsed by endorsers acceptable to
Wiggins and after purchasing the pro
ierty and running the saw mill there
or for some time, realized that they
could not pay for the property, bo
cauiio the business was a failure, and
therefore did riot have the notes en
dorsed as promised.
About si* months after they pur
chiu.ed the property Garbutt and God
uord filed their petition in bankruptcy
nd the trustee sought to sell the pro
'may Wiggins tiled his objection to
hc same am] asked that the sale from
Lm to Garbutt and Goddard be set
aside' and declared null and void, be
ea.uso Garbutt and Goddard had failed
to comply with their promise to have
fbe notes endorsed.
The court holds that a promise to,
turnlah endorsers, amounts only to a
promise anti uptm failure to comply
iherewith u [reach of contract, and
‘V.ns not" authorize’ the setting aside
o' the sale.
'■’ho court lays stress on the idea
that a. sensible business man, would
• ot. if ho did not intend to rely on
tl e honesty o* his debtor, part with
#7.000 worth of property for a cash
rayment of $2,600 without insisting
Lbfen and there upon the endorsement
of the notes given for the deferred
luyments, nor execute the deed and
deliver the property to the purchaser
and allowed them to remain in pos
si ssion for more than one year with
out underfaking to set aside the con
tract. The court rules that the stile
was an absolute one and retimes to
set aside the transaction.
Tho effect of the decision will be
tnat. the lands in controversy will be
sold as a part of the estate of the
bankrupts, Gaibutt and Goddard.
