AUGUSTA, Nov. 20, 1867
To the Editor OF the Press:
The "Bardell as. Pckwick" of Names iu-
dlcial annals is over, and, as In the great Eng
lsh precedent, the plaintiff must bitterly re-
greet that there wasn't an ''alleybi" But we
anticipate. Gen. Shepley began his argument
for defendant at half-past nine, yesterday
morning, and for three hours held the closest
attention of the Court, jury and audience by
his finished but unimpassioned eloquence.
The argument of MIR. Libby for plaintiff was
one OF his best forensic efforts,-clear, cogent
and effective. twas half-past five last night
when thu jury retired. They were only an
hour in agreeing upon verdict. which was
sealed up and brought into Court this morn
ing. As the grave, official voice OF Stratton,
the Nestor of Clerks of Court, declared that
the jury found that the defendant did promise
to marry the plaintiff and that they regarded
cool $4,000 as a reasonable compensation for
his refusing to do so, there were some nantes
tations of surprise on the part of the crowd
and when he put the usual formal interroga-
tory to the foreman for the proper authentica-
ton of the verdict, there were evidently many
persons who supposed that he shared their sur
prise and expected to have the sum reduced
several thousand dollars by the reply. But
Mr.. Foreman merely gave the fatal ned which
always sewers the last thread of hope for beat
en- parties, and Mr. Cooke was adjudged in

A. ohout eleven o'clock in the same evening
80 a. was an alarm given, that an armed boat

vas challenged BIZ no reply was given. 1t was
hovevar observed that dexterous attempt
was made TO board TIL schooner, but the first
man upon her side was shot dead by Captain
Cobb's revolver. The second rascal had his
head split open by a Kentucky" which was
skilltully welded by the mate. A volley was
speedily fred with deadly cffert tpon the pi-
rates, by the crew of the Lucy, and in few
moments afterwards the beseiging boat was
seen pulling away fiom the schooners
side as hard rs she could, while the crew con-
tinued their fire, but by morning nothing was
seen of the pirate boat, or of her crew, The
absence of breadstuffs, and the famine prices
prevailing at Port au Prince together with the
circumstance of the Lucy being laden will
flour, renders the circumstance alarming t.
shippers.

saw by the papers some months ago, that
we were to have Metal House established by
parties from Boston. But it seems for some
cause to have been abandoned. Do the bust
mes men of Portland know the need of such a
House-the trade it would bring to our city
and the helpit would be to other branches OF
trade?
Think of the amount of goods kept in that
line which is consumed in our city and State!
One house in Boston sells yearly to parties in
this city one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars worth!
