DEALER TO PAY
COMEDY TO TRAGEDY
There was* but a trace of comedy in the final act in the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon of the proceedings in which the immaculately-dressed little antique dealer, described in yesterday's "Post," was the principal actor. In fact, the diverting comedy of the morning gave place to tragedy for the dealer, because Mr. Justice Blair ordered him to foot the bill.
The case, involving principally certain accounts iv respect of antiques, was of a somewhat complicated nature. A firm of city accountants were the defendants, agadnst whom the dealer had fiis grievance. But Mr. Justice Blair, after three days had been occupied in hearing the action, found against the plaintiff at the end of the afternoon. Judgment -was given against the antique dealer both on his claim and on the defendants' counterclaim, and he hasi to pay substantial costs.
