IMPORTANT CASE FOUNDED on a CONFIDENTIAL
EETTER-The case OF Jos. IaSigi ct al vs. James
Brown, ct al, which terminated on Wednesday
evening in the United States Supreme Court, af-
ter a trial of several days-being an action to re-
cover damages for alleged fraudulent representa-
tion-prcscnted features OF great interest 10 the
mercantile community. The principal circum-
stances were as follows:
In 1851, IaSigi x Goddard, wool dealers. Of
this CITY, entertaining some doubts Ofthe solven-
CIV of the Thompsonviilc Factory, to which COR
cern they had been sellingwOOi, made application
TO Thomas B. Curtis, agent for Brown, Bros. d
Co., of New York, TO ascertain its condition.
Mr.. Curtis put the inquiry in this language, lis
there possibility of loss in selling largely to
the ThompsonviIleF Factory or 0rrin thompson"
This was accompanied with the assurance that
the information would beuscd diScreetiy.
A reply to the letter stated some Of the trans
actions of Brown, Bros. & Co., with the concern,
andtiiat they continued to have confidence in it.
This letter was marked confidential" but its
pu-port was made known to IaSigi& God a'd,
who made further sales to the amount OF $685.
900, soon after which the ThompSOnvillc FactO-
tory failed Upon the failure, it appeared that
Brown, Bros. & Co, held most of the property
of the concern as security for loans made by
them. and it was alleged that its conditions must
have been known to defendants, who sought to
keep up its credit by the representations
The action was first brought to trial in Octo-
her. 1858, the plaintiffs aedging that but for the
representations, the wool in question would not
have been sold. Judge Spraguc ruled that the
plaintiffs had no case, on the ground that the
fistter in question being Confidential" was not
the property of plaintiffs, or representation to
them. Executions We're taken to the ruling of
The Court. which were sustained by the Supreme
Court Mt " ashington, and the case again sent
back for trial
The present trial was very thorough, and after
the case had boon elaboratcly argued by Hon.
Rufus Cloat for plaintiffs and Hon. John II.
Clifford for defendants, Judge Sprague occu-
ned about six hours in charging the jury, who
Soon alter found verdict for tho defendants.-
