has been for several days and the facts
already been published in the HERALD II was an action
against the defendant, ship builder, for breach of
contracts made with him in November ls49 1t appears
that Mr. Brown agreed to sell half Of the
Rhode Island for $25 900, and to ft her in proper
and seaworthy manner for the California trade BY

Of building, called the New World for the Of
$4,000 The Rhode Island was sent TO sea, and az
ter being out few days was swamped. II is
tended by Mr.. Noyes and Mr. G. II. Striker the
part of the plaintiff that her loss occasoned by
the failure of the defendant in fitting her up in skill
full and workmarlike manner, and also that fraud
perpetrated by Brown in the sale of the Rho e Island
that she old boat and not worth more than half
that amount, and that this Brown when he made
the sale to Furnss. After the finishing of the New
World Brown refused to deliver her to Farnis and
suit for her delivery to him. and placed her in the
tody of the Sheriff the 10th OF February, which

ton The New World, it was contended, never sold
TO Mr. Furniss therefore Mr.. Brown had right to do
with her he chose Damages laid at 500, 600
The evidence having closed, counsel addressed the
jury who were then charged by the Court to the effect
that If the defen liant had fitted out the Rhode Island in
proper and seaworthy manner the plaintiff could not
recover but If he did her out properly and that
she lost In consequences Of his neglect to do the
plaintiff was entitled to his S25 OO6 the half Of

test itself as it did by heat That IL this dampness had
been occasoned by water reaching ribbons after they
were placed in the boxes evidence of would have

such could be found There is probability that wa
