UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.
pccnra Judre Retts

Perjwy-William II. Trott, the master of the
brig Elizabeth, was taken into custody for a most
palpable perjury, which had been committed in the
case of William Nichols, and others, vs. the brig
Elizabeth, her tackle, apparel, seetcra. The case
was heard on Thursday, when Nichols, who is a
negro, swore stoutly that himself and the other Ii
beliants, had shipped board the Elizabeth, in
August last, and served as ordinary seamen while
the vessel was in port; but when she was ready for
sea, another crew had been shipped and the libel
lants turned adrift. They therefore claimed their
wages and being paid they had instituted these
proc seedlings. To rebut this testimony, Trott, the
master of the vessel said that the lbeants was not
shipped on board the Elizabeth, and never did any
work on board of that vessel As there appeared
to be some pretty hard swearing on both sides, his
honor Judge Belts, adjourned the case, in order to
see W ich party were the perjurers
The next day the libellants produced two respect
able ship masters, who swore that Nichols aud the
other Iibellants, had been regularly shipped on
board the Elizabeth, in the month OF August last
On hearing this testimony, the learned Judge said
he had never met with more fragrant case of per-
iury and directed Trot to be taken into the custo-
DIV Of the Marshal. His honor further directed
that Trott should find bail in the sum of $1,000,
which, not having procured at the rising oil the
Court, he was committed to prison.

Guerinea ps Cross.-This action on prom
isosry note, commonly called sealed note. 1t was
given to recover the payment of Si2o8 and was
drawn at four days sight The history ofthe instru-
ment was as follows. In the month Of September
1882, the father Of the plaintiff executed deed in
favor Of the defendant transferring some real estate
which he possessed in this city, in consideration Of
his receiving notes Of $500, she, the defendant
binding hersefto restore tho property to the plain
tiff when he should come ofage. The documents in
the case lodged with the plaintiff mother, until
the year 1885, when she left the city, and deposited
them with another lady Of her acquaintance. In the
wear 1885, this other lady heard that plaintiffs mo-
ther was dead and she the strength of that report
gives up the documents to the defendant herself,
under promise that she would restore them to the
plaintiff when required to do so. Utterly she refus-
ed tc fulfil this promise, but instead gave her note
for Si2O This arrangement was not satisfactory to
the plaintiff, and he called Mrs. Cross for some
further curity, when she gave the note which was
the subj of the present action.
The de snce set up was that the note was given
without conside ration. but the testimony was rebuilt
