Supreme Court case over fifty one acres trade in Cedardale

Case Holmes vs Vaughan goes to the Supreme Court after Judge F C Platt upheld an $85.60 verdict with six percent interest from August 1 1906. The suit concerns a land exchange involving fifty one acres traded to Northey & Sons and later valued at 175 dollars per acre. The plaintiff alleges joint ownership and agent misrepresentation but the court found no fraud and noted a scrutiny error in a $56.70 favor for the defendant. An appeal will be pursued to the state supreme court.
