decision of some importar ce to commission
merchants was made by Chief Justice Shaw,
of this State last week, the other Judges con-
curing. 1t was in the case of Theodore u.
Parks vs. Brancher, Deltus g. CO. which was
an action brought to recover the value of goods
sold for less price than the limit of the con"
singcr-advance having been made on the
goods at the time of consignment. 1t was ruled
by the Court that a commission merchant haV-
ing received goods to sell at limited price,
and made advances on the same, has right to
reimburse or indemnity himself by selling said
goods at fair market price, though below the
limits, if the consignrr refuses, upon apPlica-
ton, and after reasonable time, 10 repay 'he

at Petersburg. They fought with pistols, at
six PAGES. At the first fire, Mr.. wilson
was sho, through the body and died on the
suot. HIS bal grazed his adversarysS temple.
This fata! event is the more to be lamented
from the circumstance that the parties had
long known and esteemed eaca other and up

the most friendly and respectful sentments.-
This is evidenced by the survivor, IN the oi',el
