Avery remarkable case has Just been
presented before the Hastings court In
this county. in which two gentlemen
well known TO this community are
somewhat deeply involved. Itseems
that Mr.. Edward5A. Pollard, author of
"The Lost Canse,n aud formerly editor
of the Richmond ,EEGminer, deems
himself the victim of misplaced conf
dence, and has instituted a suit to re-
cover two lots of real estate in the cItv
OF fWashington confscatsd during the
rebellion, and purchased by his father
in-law; Colonel William James, for a
mere nominal sum, which, in the opin-
ion ION! Of -: a. Pollard, was offered in his

sets forth that in 1851 he intermarried
into the James family underthe inn
preston that the James family were
ardent partisanS OF the Confederate
cause. This William james, who fs
now Collector of Internal Revenue, he
also alleges, offered to the government
OF virginia, In 1851, to bring into the
state shipload OF medicines. This
offer was declined by Governor Letcher,
whereupon James left for his former
nome IN st. Johns, New Brunswick.
still asserting his sympathy for the
South. At the time OF the plaintiff's
marriage, James and his Two
sons were away-in New Brnns-
WICK, as he was informed by Mrs.
James. Impressed with their repeated
1eclarattons of sympathy for the South,
ne was Influenced to confide to the
Jameses the fact OF his possessing this
property In Washington: Shortly after
thls, Mrs: ~ James expressing desire to
go 70 Halifax, the plaintiff exerted his
innuence In her behalf and procured
her passport. In 1854 he was taken
prisoner and confined in Fort Warren.
where he learned for the first time that
the JameseS were not In British Amer
lea, but had taken part with the U Uniteri
States government, and were then in
tne service OF the said Government. He
also Learned that. Mr.. James had OBJ |

OF the plaintiffs ownership of properly

up, purchased It in his own name al a |

having contidentially learned of his
titleto the property, had merely bought

restoration, and offering him the most
liberal compensation for his services.
James replied that he had bought the
property for permanent Investment,
and would not return 1t under any cir.
cumstances. The plaintiff now claims
me "a restoration of the property upon
the ground that the knowledge OF its
possession was obtained in family con-

James as permanent investment was
fraudulent and dishonorable. Mr..
