The question has not been settled yet, but it seems that no mat- ter how good adefence a man hos it will not avail him anything unless he takes proper legal steps by dispnt- ing the Clain A. somewhat, similar case occurred in Listowel some years ago. judgment was given against a party in Listowel fol• a debtdueanoth- er scan of the sante name.
