GREAT LINEN DEAL DISPUTE.

THIRD SHARE OF PROFITS

CLAIMED FOR BRAINS...

A disputed claim to a share of the pro- ft on the parchase and resale of surplus Government linen valued at £4,000,000 was the subject of an action, begun re sently in the King's Beach Division before the Lord Chief Justice.

Tho claim was made by Mr. Walter Henry Shoppy, of Upper Clapton, against Mr. Leonard J. Martin and Mr. E. Price Jonce

Mr. Havke, E.C., for Mr. Soeppy, re- called the fact that Mr. Martin purchased from the Government a large quantity of linen last year. Mr. Shoppy claimed a share in the profits on the resale of that linen or remancration for, the services he rendorod

The question. For determination now in оде of liability,” he said, not of Famount.”.

Mr. Hawke added that in 1917 Mr. Sheppy made some purchases of surplus Government stores. Subsequently he heard that the linen was for sale, bus found that tho quantities in which, 18, was ottered ware beyond his resources, and he Fendeavoured to gut his friends to saxist:}:

him in the purchase. In April 1919 Mr. Shoppy mentioned the "matter to Mr. Jones, then the manager, of a bank in g Bishopsgate. He subsequently met Mr. Jones, who told him that he had a rich friend coming from Amarica, and we asked that the business should be put in his friend's way··

No name was mentioned," said Mr | Hawke, “but it was Mr. Martin. The

arrangement was that the profit on the i

·linen should be one-third to Mr Sheppy. and, as hir, Jonts/said, v^two-thirds. to tis, myself and friend." Something wES said about signing, but Mr. Jones said to Mr. Shoppy, You do not want any signa- turo you are dealing with honourable men, and Mr. Sheppy agreed."!

On May 4th Mr. Booppy was intro- duced by Mr. Jones to Mr. Martin. They talked the matter over, and afterwards inspected the linen at the Shepherd's Bush depot.

An arrangement was then come to. Mr. Sheppy was to leave, the matter in Mr. Martin's handı..

On June 19th. Mr. Martin's purchase. was announced in the newspapers.

Mr. Sheppy wrote to Mr. Martin, who in reply sent, him a little souvenir of the occa sion”—, cheque for £100.

In cross-examination, by Mr. "Rigby Swift, K.C., Mr. Sheppy said that at the time Mr. Martin came on the

scene he was trying to form a syndicate. Derma

The Lord Chief Justice: You were sup plying the brains Yes

Mr. Hastings, K.C., cross-examining for Mr. Jones: What was there in your brains which should entitle you to a third. of the profits-It is awkward for me to Psay, because I shall have to give myacif

Did you do anything tall to help Afr. Martin to buy No.

Mr. Sheppy, in reply to further ques tions, stated that be knew that last week purchaser gave £5,000,000 for surplus Government stores that were worth, any thing from £50,000,000 to £60,000,000.

Mr. Hastings That

is not very interest-

to this case. The Lord Chief Justice: It is very in- teresting to the taxpayer, nevertheless.

Alp.startin in his evidence stated that be had no idea of purchasing the linen until he got to Shepherd's Bush, Mr. Price Jones said, "It is too big for me." All that Mr. Sheppy said was that be hoped he would be able to sell some of the linen.

From that moment," said Mr. Martin, the syndicate dropped, and it became a private speculation on my part."

Mr. Hawke: You have made a large profit out of this-Yes, a big one.

The hearing was adjourned,

US. OPTIMISM

in striking contrast to the pessimism of Mr. Frank Vanderlip, the former pro- sident of the National City Bank, who has been delivering the most bearish opinions about. bankrupt, Europe," the best- informed authorities in New York accord- ing to the Daily Telegraph correspond- ent are decidedly optimistic where Eng- land is concerned.

England's deviores to meet the present exchange and credit situation are a chal- lenge to the enterprize of America," says the Guaranty Trust Company, of Now York, in its fortnightly-trade review on American" goods and foreign markets. England's recent shipment of about |$50,000,000 în gold to America and the powibility of farther as the con- viction of a great international trading nation that the maintenance of any specific gold reserve in of lover importance than the maintenanoo of credit in markete where it is England's purpose to set Lasting and invaluable trade connections It adds **This is no new adventure into uncharted dnancial aces for Eng land; hor: ristory is the history of the und of every legitimate means to promote British trade, her devices to meet the pre- sent situation are a challenge to the entar- nrise of Arerica and England's con- fidence in herself, invites the confidence of others.
