crior Court.
The case of The W. H. cheny Mall-
ufaoturing Company. of New York.
against Hanlon Brothers, of Norwalk,
was on trial yesterday. in the Superior
Court, before Judge Tbayer. The title
is a misnomer. as the issues raised are
really upon a counter claim for $15,-
000. made by tho Norwalk Company.
The Sweeny Manufacturing Company.
made a line of tea and coffee ‘pots,
which lianlou Brothers offered free to
purchasers of their baking powder.
Originally tile Sweeny Company
brought suit to recover about 8 25.
which they claimed for coffee pots, dc
‘llvered to the defendants. This is not
disputed, but Haulon Brothers at once
began a counter action. alleging that
their business had been damaged by
the failure of the Swoeny Company. to
live up to its contract. not to sell its
goods to a rival company.

by which the latter was to deliver to
them 10.000 dozen pets to be offered
to purchasers of their powder. and that

Washington Baking Powder Company.

could guarantee to the trade. that
their grocers should have no competi-
tion in this line.
By Jilly. 1897. 1,125 dozcn had been
delivered, and ”anion Brothers claim
that they then discovered the agree-

this. they were compelled. under their
guarantcc with the trade. to take back
a large number of pets, and they also
had 130 dozen on hand. They trilogy
