CLAIM ON SWEEPSTAKE PRIZE
J3OURT DECIDES ARGUMENT. DIVISION OF FIRST MONEY. By Telegraph—Presi Aesn.— Copyright. Dublin, April 27. The court has granted Mr. A. Bendir’s application to be paid £260,043 of the prize money of the Grand National sweepstake, Scala, Epicella and Constantino agreeing. A packed court listened to the opening of the great sweepstake suit, in which Antonio Epicella and Schoite Matteo Constantino claimed from Emilio Scala, a cafe-keeper, of. London, a Vliare of the first prize-winning ticket. Mr. Gavin Duffy, counsel for plaintiffs, said his clients claimed to be Scala’s partners, under a written agreement concerning two books of tickets, for which they paid a third share. There was a third book in which they had a common interest, but Scala was entitled to dispose of some of the tickets in it. The winning ticket was one of two free tickets, to which the seller of the book was entitled. When the agreement was made all the ticket numbers were included. Mr. Arthur Bendir, who represents the firm of commission agents' who gave notice of a claim to three-quarters of the prize money on an assignment from Scala, was added to the suit.
