MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.


OCTOBER TERM-RIcE j., PRESIDING.
TuEspAY.-ln the case of the Bank Com
,nlssioners V. Alfred Bank, Judge Rice order
ed that the injunction in this case be so far mod
filed. that said Bank be authorized TO proceed
with its legitimate business of banking, in con-
formity with law and collecting its debts, I'M
til otherwise ordered by this Court, or some
member thereof Also ordered, that the costs
of proceedings in this case be paid by the
Bank.
On motion OF Nathan Webb, Esq, Hiram H.
Libby, Esq, was admitted to practice as Coun-
sellor and Attorney in the courts in this
State.
No. 80. Levi Morrill, V. F. o. J. Smith.
The trial Of this case was resumed and the
evidence was all put in. Thomas NJ Hayes,
Esq, then made an able argument Tor the de-
fendent, occupying two hours. Inc theory OF
the defense was, that Myers had assigned the
award to Smith. and therefore Smith had just
cause for commencing his action against Nor
rill. There was no written assignment of the
award. But paper was produced in the
handwriting of Myers, containing terms OF
settlement between himself and Mr.. Smith, by
which Smith was TO receive twenty per cent.
on the award obtained against the Railroad
Company, to an amount of 100000, and
twenty-five per cent. on the excess, il any, re-
covered above that amount.
This per ccntage was to be in full for all the
advance made by Smith TO Myers, and also for
his services in prosecuting the suit against the
railroad company to Judgment, and for rcspon-
sibities which he might incur for Myers, as
we'll rs for exchange Of certain real estate
the yeranhah property being taken by Mr..
Smith, and the Union Street Theatre proper
ty being taken by Mr.. Myers.
Mr.. E. Fox, for plaintiff, contendcd that
there had been no assignment Of the award to
Smith, and tina. Myers, though persistently
urged by Smith to make such an assignment,
constantly refused so to do. This, he said, was
proved by the deposition of A. p. Robinson.
He further contended that Mr.. Smiths right
TO prosecute the bond had been settled by
Judge Curtis, who, after having heard him
fSmth) upon the matter when he wished to
intervene, after Myers dropped the action in
the U. s. Circuit Court, decided that he had
no interest in the bond, and refused TO let him
prosecute the suit to judgment. Mr. Fox
further commended that the agreement of Smith
TO receive such a per eentage on the award
constituted, champerty.
After Mr.. Fox closed his argument, the case
was laid over until Thursday morning, Judge
Rice being necessarily absent to-day, Mt the
Bond holders meeting of the Kennebec and
Portland Company in Brunswick.
Judge Davis will come in this morning.

Furnish Of Co. /, 10th Maine regiment, left

fer the purpose of procuring the remains Of her
husband, who was killed at the battle of An

remains of deceased officers or soldiers we're

Mrs. Farbish has watched with deep solicit
tude for an opportunity to transfer the remains
of her husband from his burial place on the
battlefield to the beautiful lot she has prepared
for their reception in the Evergreen Cemetery.
With heavy heart did she leave to perform
this last act of devoted wife, 10 all that re-
manned of him, whose life was given up for his
country, but she was unwilling to trust to any
other the ascertaining of his temporary rest
ing place, and of its sure and safe transporta-
ton to this city.
1t was feared by her friends in this city that
her efforts might prove unsuccessful, but by a
letter received yesterday from Col. Fillebrown.

take them to where the guard were, but one
OF the negroes made his escape, hurried TO the
guard and informed them OF their danger. and
they prepared TO give the foe warm recep-
ton. The guerrillas evidently supposing that
they would make an easy conquest, as they
had been informed by the wagon master that
the guard numbered only six men, when in
fact there were thirty, approached with bold
ness, but were suddenly driven Off by yoley
OF musketry. Most Of these guerrias were
armed with pistols.
