Before Judge Blatchford.
AugMstfn DAILY o.. Henry d. Pdlnaer.-The hearing
In this case was resumed yesterday afternoon. and
long before the argument OF counsel was concluded
the title OF the litigation, in its double meaning was
very appropriate to the time and place It being after
dark outside and under the gaslight inside while
the case was being tried. Counsel for the de-
fence in the course OF argument and In support
Of the main point at issue, said that the ntroduc-
tOn OF the railroad scene, with the tying OF the man
to the track In the play Of Under the Gaslightn was
not original with the author In support Of this the
copy Of a story which appeared In one OF the
serials OF March, 1857, was handed to
the Court. in which story the incident of
man, overseeing number OF workmen
and to whom he had become obnoxious, was taken
oy the men and tied upon railway track in the way
OF an advancing train. Counsel then argued as
under the Gaslight' was not played till August,
1867 the idea OF the could not be claimed to be
original An atdavit was also put in setting forth
that the party subscribing had read q story In
Household Words some couple OF years ago in which
similar scene to that copyrighted In 'Under the
Gaslght" was enacted. In this concealed woman
sensblity and then carried him and left him on
