The Gardiner Case I'm Chancery. The
National T,,feHigenoT, Of Saturday, says THIS
case, which had been before the Circnit Court
since the i2th instant, was yesterday brought TO
n close. Judge Morsell delivered the opinion OF
rhe court.
The court is satisfied that the claim set up by
George A. Gardiner for damages, as allowed IN the
award Of the Commissioners, was false and I'M
founded that the award was obtained by fraud,
aud was null and void and that the money paid
on, OF the Treasury Of the United States under
such circumstances continued its character as the
money and property Of the United States, and
may be followed into the hands OF Messrs Corco-
ran a. Riggs, who are not the true owners OF the
said fund.
The court then made decree to the effect that
The awards were obtained by George A Gardiner
by means Of false swearing, forgery, and fraud,
aaS were therefore null and void that his estate
il indebted 70 the United States in the sum Of
s42s $50, with interest from the 10th OF May 1851
that Corcoran & Riggs should bring into court on
abe fourth Monday OF March next the stocks and
secures in their hands, amounting 10 $50, be
ing part OF the funds obtained by Gardiner under
said awards, and also an admitted balance in cash
Of ss,737 40; and that the cause be referred to
