U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Eastern Pennsylvania January 8, 1909, No. 34 (Jefferis v. Merritt)

HOLLAND, District Judge.

Thirteen reasons are filed in this case why a new trial should be granted. The important fact at issue in the case was the construction placed upon a contract written in ambiguous language, which had been acted upon for about five years, and it was a question which construction had controlled the actions of the parties.
