Loveseth has a grievance against Ole P. Hytemyren which he believes is reasonably worth the sum of $6,000, and he wants to recover that amount through the court. The reason for all this is that Eskald and Ole (the printing press will not bear a repetition of the full names) had a quarrel during the progress of which it is alleged Ole said to Eskald, “Du er eu tyv ant,” which translated means. “You are a thieving rascal.” Eskald took that to mean Ole intended to call him a thief and a rascal, and these derogatory statements having been made, according to the complaint, in the presence of several persons, Eskald thinks that he was damaged $3,000 worth thereby. But that was not all. Several months later, Ole, Eskald says, addressed this term to him, couched in the Norwegian language: “Du er en tyv,” meaning “you are a thief.” Ole said that this remark was also made in the presence of several persons who understood the Norwegian language, and by this repetition o! f an alleged slanderous statement, Eskald says he was damaged $3,000 more. > > http://tinyurl.com/ls9l7ae > Norwaylist Archiveshttp://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=norway > > RESUBSCRIBE UNSUB > http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/NOR/NORWAY.html > > guidelines http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/guidelines.htm > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORWAY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
