The defendant, not having paid plaintiff's claim, was requested to return the acknowledgment, which he refused to do. The defendant contended that the plaintiff had no right to the document, and that it was worthless. The Bench decided that the acknowledgment was the property of the plaintiff, and must be given up to him, or defendant to pay the amount, with costs 19s.
