IMPORTANT DEcIs1oN.--The Important
case Of Francis II. Nicoll, against the U. S.
Marshall, for the District of Pennsylvania, COM
menced before the U. s. Circuit Court in Phil
adelphia, on the 4th, and was determined on
Saturday, when. after IL days Of investigation,
it was committed to the jury. On Monday NOR
ming the jury gave verdict in favor of the plain
tiff Of all the monies held in trust, and $780,
1884, 6 damages, and 6 cents cost. 1t was an
action Of trespass brought by plaintiffto recov-
err damages Of defendant for selling and de-
tanning certain ships, and large quantities Of
valuable goods, altogether valued between
two and three hundred thousand dollars;-
alleged to be the property Of the plaintiff, F. II.
Nicola The defendant, as Marshal Of the
District, having levied upon them as the prop
erty of Edward Thompson. who owed the
United States nearly a million of dollars for
duties. The defendants justification introdu-
ced the United States as the real defendants ;
and they took defence accordingly as priority
creditors Of Edward Thompson.
The learned Judge (washington) consumed
two hours on Sunday morning in the delivery
of an extremely lucid and powerful charge.
The prominent points adjudicuted as well as
touched upon, were principally these: that the
securities, or title papers, presented by the
plaintiff, were valid and legal; that the ques-
lion Of consideration did no, arise, the execu-
ton Of the instrument being prima facie evil
dence Of il, and perfectly good, unless dispro-
we'd by the defendant; that the title and trans
fers being good. the allegation Of defendant
that they were void, on the eight grounds ur-
Qed in reaction to fraud, was not law, inasmuch
