Line 1: Line 1:
−
get Harry B's counsel to agree to reasonable terms. He Mr. Gover suggested at the consultation they had prior to the sitting that Dad. should get 2/3 of the fund I should get 2/3 and Harry B 1/3. Mr. Parks would not agree to this and told Mr. Gover that he did not need to concern himself with any but his own client (Harry B.) which apparently peeved the gentleman as he left the meeting immediately saying he had an appointment overdue. Later on however he got the counsel to agree on his terms which were Dad 4/5 Harry B 1/5 and me to get the interest on H.B's share during his minority. He said Mrs. Dick is an impossible woman and had sought another solicitor, but the judge had said that there must be no more delay over the "child" question but that Mrs. Dick must either make an affadavit or they must file evidence that there was no child.

That part of it is evidently in the hands of the Master again. I don't understand about the Name & Arms question. The judge seems to have adjourned the case in order to let the counsel arrange terms among themselves so whether they have argued the point or not I can't make out nor can any of us.
