RECENT LEGAL
DECISIONS.
[PREPARED FOR THE MUSIC TRADE RKVIEW.]
"The
i5
Type."
FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES—EVIDENCE.
Where defendant sold a part of his property
openly, and removed the balance without any
attempt at concealment, the mere fact that he
afterwards pretended, when called on by credit-
ors, that he had nothing with which to satisfy
their demands, does not show that the sale was
fraudulent.
Fortner v. Brownell et al. (Whelan, Gar-
nishee), Supreme Court of Wisconsin, February
23d, 1894.
ACTION ON ACCOUNT—LIMITATION.
RUSSELL
(Successors to STARK & STRACK.)
An action on mutual current accounts, between
merchant and merchant, is barred when brought
more than four years after the account was
stated, and after reciprocal relations between
the parties had ceased. Sayles' Civ. St., art.
PIANOS

Handell v. MacDonald, Court of Civil Ap-
peals of Texas, January 31st, 1894.
PARTNERSHIP.
In an action against both partners, verdict is
not defective because it is against one alone.
(Nebraska) 162.
One who agrees to give services to firm in re-
turn for a proportion of the profits is a member,
and liable for its debts. (Nebraska) 162.
The fact that a member of a firm retires does
not release a corporation from a contract made
with it, there being no showing of a release of
either member of said firm from its liabilities.
Nebraska) 181.

Pianos and Organs,
DERBY, CONN.
It. is admitted by all thai, no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLTNG
and thousands will testify to their superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because they are made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.
An Acrostic.
Crowned with bright jewels, exceedingly fair,
/?ich are their voices, and soft as the air,
Out-shining the stars of a clear winter night,
Whenever they're speaking you're filled with
delight.
No praises are needed, or words to explain,
Pleading for merits we know they contain,
/nstead, we shall let them just speak for them-
selves,
And then all contentions shall lie on their
shelves.
Now never were speakers so noble or true,
Or furnished with beauty so handsome to view ;
So touching their accents, so tenderly sweet,
^411 moving in harmony, solid, complete.
./Vow see them, good people, and hear what they
say ;
.Don't let an intruder deceive by the way.
One sight of their beauty, or sound of their voice,
Removes all your doubting and makes you re-
joice.
Great pleasure is found in a treasure like this,
^411 tumults or discords are turned into bliss.
Now just at the bottom you'll find the address ;
Send for the initials, your homes they will bless.
Geo. P. Bent, Chicago, 111.
