COURT CAN'T GIVE RELIEF Man and Wife Paid Same Debt Twice and All Own Fault. Monto Lowrey and his wife were denied recovery by the supreme court Friday from the receiver of the Dunbar State bank for the $2,652 they paid him on a note he held. This was the second time they paid the debt. Te first note they signed was sold by the bank to New York bank. At the time they paid the money to the receiver there was some discussion as to their liability on the other note, but the Lowreys claimed that the receiver told them and they claimed in the lawsuit that it was a forgery. Later they were compelled in suit to pay the note held by the eastern bank. The receiver said he never told them it was forgery. The court says they are estopped from asking relief, and invokes the old rule of law that where one of two innocent parties must suffer then the one whose oversight or neglect has made the occurrence of the event possible must suffer rather than the one who is entirely without blame. The two notes were in fact duplicates, given for the same debt, and the court says that caution would have required that before paying the note held by the receiver they should have had the other one forwarded for their examination to ascertain if it were forged.
