A CURIOUS CAsE.-One Of those cases which sometimes
comes up before the courts which puzzle tho magistrates
and the beholdcrs to determine whether they were
brought with desire TO have justice done between man
and man. or whether the prosecution was insgnted by
malice and the wish to do serious harm to I'm ho-
cent person. was exhibited by the suit brought NY Mr.
Edward Dechaifx against Thomas j. Worman. In this
ease the defendant young man OF about 70, most
gcntemanly aud selfpossesscd In his bearing and ap
pearance The facts Ia be these Mr.. DechAuS Is
merchant .eang In artists materials ana other goods
unfortunate In his employees than three OF whom
he has detected In rObbing him within the last three
quarters Of year These facts doubtless made Mr Du
cheaux more susplcOus than otherwise he would have
been and he therefore, regarded young Wormas whom he
had engaged his bOOkkeepor with particularly sharp
scrutiny from the very first day he entered his service
After NORMAN had been Ia his employ several months Mr.
d. took fancy to try his honesty. He therefore so con
ryed matters that tho young bo0kkeeper should be lef
alone In the place for short time friend OF the pro
pretor instructed by that gentleman, now comes In anu
buys box of collars Of which the price Is So whGh ths
