Architect Scott Replevins His Saw

A replevin suit has been begun by Architect George Scott, in Justice Gibson's court against John J. Edwards and Richard Portwine, to recover a miter saw which he says they wrongfully withheld from him.

It appears that Scott entered into partnership with the defendants to build a house on Huron street. Before the building was completed the men became involved in some difficulty, when it is alleged that Portwine rudely gave Scott a severe trouncing. With a firm belief in the time worn adage that "he who lives to run away will live to fight another day," Scott took a hasty departure from the scene of the melee. In his haste to escape the wrath of his partners he left his miter saw behind him. He claims that he couldn't recover it peaceably and began the present suit.
