&c" and stated that he the owner Of a certain
penny paper called the Sum- having taken pains to
inform ourselves on the subject we find that the in
formation on which we made the statement was in
correct and satisfied that he has not or ever had
any interest in that concern As we were informed
ne had purchased that paper, We supposed him o
have prompted certain articles which appeared in it,
IN derogation of US; and under that Impression
that we wrote several articles Of him. Let Justice
be done. As for the sun itself care nothing what
It says-lt is beneath contempt.
II All the new nominations for our Custom

CrRcuIr CoUnr, Friday February 2-Before Judge
Edwards.
Van Brunt and West versus Wood-This was an
action broughtto recover $40, the balance of
count said to be due TO the plaintiffs from alleged
co.partnership csncern between Mr.. Wood and Mr..
Copeland
The case was curious one in some respects as the
defence set up was that Copeland had committed a
gross forgery in the name of Wood in orderto Obtain
groceries, &c, from the plaintiffs, Messrs Van Brunt
4 West.
Mr. Van Brunt & West are merchants in this city,
Mr.. Wood lived AT Butler Wayne County. Mr. Cope
land lived at Victory, Cayuga Coun,y. Several
months back Copeland came 10 New York, and
calling en- the plaintiffs, showed them letter. pur-
porting to be from Mr.. Wood, in which the writer
requested the plaintiffs TO let Copeland have guam
tty Of goods and he would be responsible for The
payment. They let him have goods TO the amount
Of over $780, he representing himself the partner
of Wood
Some time after this, Wood and Copeland came to
the city together and called the plaintiffs, and
then it is said that Wood was told Of the letter brought
by Copeland, pMportng 10 be from him, Wood,
which he then said was forgery. II was alleged on
the part Of Weed that in order TO save Copeland from
the state prison. he undertook on the spot, to ndem
Nifty Van Brunt and West against any loss and
Copeland. Ii also appeared that Wood did Ultimate
~ pay the plaintiffs S606 of the money, and this suit
was brought TO recover the balance.
On the part Of the plaintiff it was contsnded and
shown, that after Wood discovered, he still gave his
countenance and support TO Copeland and even went
again with him TO Van Brunt and West and went
security for more goods, which Copeland thus OBJ
tanned, and which Wood paid for: and, therefore on
this showing there must have been something OF a
copartnership concern existing, or some such joint
interest between them, or he would not have thus
acted.
On the part of the defendant this was explained
away, by stating that Copeland was man Of family
of good standing in the heart Of the country where
he ivei-that to save him from ruin, Wood agreed 10
pay ths 5000 but could not be made liable for the
balance.
Mr. Payne, a weieher Of Mr.. Woods, testified that
he brought the $500 and paid it TO the plaintiffs
they gave receipt not expressing itself in full Of
all demands against Wood, bat Payne testified that
they expressed so much in words when they gave the
receipt.
The Judge charged that there was no evidence
brought forward to show that the letter given by
Copeland to the plaintiffs was genuine one or in
Woods hand writing, il was but proper, under the
L. - n foxu ban Il
