Herbert Barber Sued Himself for Services He Provided to the Town

Suing oneself is by no means a common practice in the contemporary world. You may locate the instance of Herbert Barber suing Herbert Barber all the way back in 1911. In the city of Warwick, Barber was a tax collector. He sued the town for $8,250.44 in damages when the town refused to pay him for his services. The town treasurer, who was in charge of seeing that he got paid, was one of the accused. Herbert Barber served as the town's treasurer.

And the plaintiff claims that more than forty days prior to the start of this action, specifically on the 22nd of August in the year 1910, Herbert Barber gave the town council of the town of Warwick a detailed account of his said claim, debt, and demand, and how it was contracted and incurred, and that neither the town treasurer nor the town itself has given him a just and proper satisfaction. To Barber's surprise, the case was dismissed since she did not prevail.
