DAVIS Confederaey figured was Yesterday
before Judge Ingraham, of the Supreme
Court, at chambers. When the rebellion
, broke out George w. Gooch, the defend
4 ant IN the case, according to the state
: ments made, was in Texas as agent of the
large Broadway dry goods houseof Lanes,
, Boyce u Co, entrusted with the collection
OF Sl7l,O due them from Texas mer-
! chants. On the 4th of March, 1861, Messrs
Lanes, BOyce & Co. turned over their bust
ness to Leroy NJ. Wiley and Frederick n. /.
Lawrence, who are the plaintiffs in the

collections, and, as he alleges with the ap-
proval of Mr.. Wiley, invested about $780,
900 Of the money he collected in rebel So
curities, which Of course have since proved
worthless.
AS short time since rIGooch returned to
this city, and at the instance of the plain
TINS was arrested and locked up in default
OF $4,000 bail, on charges of misappro-
prlatihg the funds of the firm. The pro-
ceedings yesterday were in connection

was considerable argument of the counsel
upon the question whether rebel bonds
turned over to the credit of his EMPLOYERS
by Mr.. Gooch, discharged his indemnity
to them. The decision is reserved.
