The present case in the Superior Court was
brought by Samue Fowler, j., q brother Of the
decea sed William to whom tho widow OF William
had assigned Der right to the e.ta1 against Norris
for some NAL admin strstion OF the af,irs John A.

Fowler, and T. s. Harlow for Morris The jury
Disagreed and 1t wos understood that ten Of taem

For more than q fortnight there hss been upoa
trial before the Supreme Court sc Cambridge,
case between young man named Klmball, son o.
DR.. Gilman Kmbal, The famous surgeon Of Lowell,
and Capt. Deyens of Charestown. cannot give
you the whole story Of the ease, but the main FACTS
of the case are that Kimb IL was third mate OF
D.vens's ship, tie Storm-Kirg, in the year 1855;
lint ON the voyage f0m Leo Choo 70 Lon
don, the scuryy broke out on board the ship,
nd KjmbaIl suffered severely therefrom; that
Q had to 60 into the hospital Of London,
tut was not cured there and has suffered from
the d,ease ever since. The charge u that
he scu,vy was caused by insufficient and improper
food. The defense ia that Kinbars dis'asc was
yenereal 1t il somewhat difficult 70 see what neces-
siis there is for occupyitg fifteen to eahtsea DAYS
in trial Of this case, and there is no need o. II.
But every pt int htse and great, is contested inch

Prs baby the resus Of the trial will be Disagree
ueut Of the Jury, and this, likely enough, is Whst
the counsel on both sides are expecting and lighting
for, and perhaps disagreement would be 0, jost 9
result as any other. The case his been oaee tired
before, ind then the Jury ed to agree.
