623-YEAR-OLD LAWSUIT
CASE STILL PROCEEDS IN RUMANIA At Fagarasch, Rumania, a further hearing was held recently of a lawsuit begun 623 years ago, and was again adjourned for fresh testimony. The parties are the municipalities of Feldioara and Sorkutza. The trouble arose in 1307, when inhabitants of Feldioara fled to the mountains to escape an outbreak of the plague. On their return they found that the inhabitants of Sorkutza had taken possession of their community grazing land, an area of about 650 acres. The Feldioara folk tried to turn out the Sorkutzans, but were too weak to do so. They went to law and have been at it ever since. Both sides maintain their original arguments.
