most Of tie past week in the hearing Of the
Philips case, noticed in our columns a day or
two since. Mr.. Windett finished reading the
dispositions Of the plaintiffs witnesses on Sat-
urday, and announced that he rested his case
for the present.
The evidence thus far adduccd has consisted
Of letters, chiefly written by the defendant,
John Philips, ST., to the complainant himself
and others; also large number Of receipts,
bills, and other papers, offered to show that
The parties did business as partnership; and
Of the dispositions Of large number Of Wit
nc=ses as to the manner tlat they have mall
aged and conducted their business. The most
Of their testimony relates to statements anu
declarations Of the defendants, mostly Of John
Philips, the father, going to show mutual
and lu1nt interest, and that he aud his SONS
were in fact partners.
Tic defendants counsel, E. s. Williams,
Esq, viii commence the defence by reading
the testimony on the part Of the defendant, on
Monday morning, and from the bulk Of the
dispositions on file in the court, the case is

At the request Of the Joint Committee the
undersigned would respectfully remind the
citizers Of Chicago Of the urgent necessity Of
prompt, liberal and energetic effort to secure

printing Of the thousands Of the 'eMemorial, =
t BIZ citizens to their friends throughout ths
/ country, and especially at Washington alse
| to pay for its publication at length in promi
| ncnt newspapers, and generally to deiray al
the expenses incident to the undertaking: :.

scriptions to this fund. Independently Of th'
| direct relation that an Armory located her

local advantages of the utmost consequence t,
her growth and prosperity; such probably a

character at this point, the introduction am
