LIyERrooL, Aug 2l.-An important SUIT
with the West India and Pacific Steamship
Company vs.. Williams X Gnioni resulted
In favor of the plaintiff, with damages OF
100000, The suit grew out Of nitro-gly-
ccrne explosion NJ Aspinwall In 1866. The
plaintiffs brought suit against the shippers,
claiming that they were guilty of deccp'
ton In shipping explosive mixture under
false name, thus exposing them to great
loss. The judgement rendered is under
stood to definitely settle that the plaintiffs
are entitled TO damages, and that they can
not recover losses from the underwriters
but the question is, whether the present de-
PENDANTS, who also plead ignorance Of the
character of tho shipment, are ultimately
liable, or whether the plaintiffs must look
TO the original shipment Mt Hamburg, the
originators Of the fraud. IL goes to higher
tribunal for argument and decision.
