Novel Law Suit.

We learn from the Norwalk Gazette of
the 18th, that an officer from Bridgeport
went over to Norwalk last week and served
an attachment upon the homestead of Lewis
o. Wilson, Esq worth 100000 or more,
in behalf of the President and Directors of
the N Y. e. N. H. RR. Co. The cause
of this action was on account of alleged
damage sustained by said Company by
the respondent having forced open car
door at the Nofwalk station. Some time
since, the Sis A. Nj. train arrived, and as
is frequently the case, with an empty but
locked car in the rear, while but few seats
remained vacant in the forward ones. The
consequence was, some fifteen or twenty of
the 'Norwalk passengers were obliged to
stand up, including several ladies. Mr..
Wilson politely informed these ladies tina.
he would procure the opening of the rear
car for them, and passed out upon the plat
form to solicit the brakeman to open the
door. No breakman was to be found, SO
MIR. w. put his foot against the doo:, and
pushed it in, breaking the catch. and caus,
ing damage that t~enty .fUe cents would
have repaired. AS both parties have the
pluck as well as the means, we presume
there will be long and free fight over the
great question. The Gazette is very Sc
we're upon the Railroad Company for engag-
ing in this suit.
