| View Entry | 1926 | Barnhart Mercantile Co. v. Lashlee Bros. & Lashlee Brothers v. Barnhart Mercantile Co.. | Benton | Debt on Account |
Both cases arose from the shipment of peanuts from the Lashlees to the plaintiff. Before shipment an agreement on price had been struck, however upon arrival in St. Louis, a number of the peanuts were rotten or so badly damaged as to be worthless. Barnhart asserted they have paid what the shipments were worth, the Lashlees argue there is a remaining debt. Housed in 5 folders. |
