1. “Mrs. Mary Schaefer Bonnelucq, proceeding in forma pauperis, in her original and supplemental petitions, alleged that Louis H. Bernard had been condemned by the Office of Price Administration to pay her the sum of $95, the amount of overcharge of rent exacted by Bernard as her landlord, the certificate or order being dated March 22, 1946; that Bernard declined to comply with the order of the Price Administrator, although acknowledging the debt and offering to pay $2 per month over a period of some forty-two months, by deducting this amount from her rent. Petitioner declined this method of settlement and brought suit for treble damages, or the sum of $285, under Sec. 205(e) of the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix, § 925(e). It is also alleged that petitioner's husband, Henry Bonnelucq, died on the 25th day of December, 1945, leaving as his sole heir a minor child, Rosemary Bonnelucq.”
