by Omcer Greer, of the Third Ward, upon a
charge of swindling, made upon the oath of

From the statements Of both sides of the case.
itappears that the wife of the com plainant mr.
chased from the salesman barrel Of sugar
which at the top was very good, but as the
bottom OF the barrel was approached the sugar
was very inferior in quality. Mr.. Lewis de-
manded that the sugar should be taken back
and the money refunded. This the salesman
declined to do, and claims that as the article
was open to examination, and was sold as
other goods at auction, for what it would
bring, he, as salesman, is not responsible for
the result of the imperfect inspection made by
the purchaser

Mr.. Stevens called up the deficiency bill and
moved that the House non concur in the Sem
ate's amendment striking out the appropria.
tion OF s3S,GtO for payment of extra compensa.

He moved that the House non concur in the
action Of the Senate.
Mr.. Schenck inquired Of Mr. Stevens how it
was that by this bill SS247 900 was appropriated
for the compensation and mileage OF fifty two

required small appropriation to pay their
