yOnd high water mark. Mr.. Cooks wit
ness, Mr.. Reckwith, the surveyor, testified
that the amount of water thus displaced
would have turned the water wheels of the
mill for about three minutes, and Nj. Bar
NUNS witness, Mr.. Mead, the surveyor,
stated that it would not have turned the
| wheels quite three quarters of minute
Mr.. Barnum's defense was, first, that the
land on which the ce-house was built was
the property of his wife "Charity," aud
therefore. Mr.. Cook had sued wrong per.

title to the pond Qor various reasons stat

right to il for the purposes Of navigation,
etc, that they had to any other portion Of
Bridgeport harbor.

a sharp cross examination from Mr.. Stur-
ges. the opposing counsel, in the course Of
which the following Dialogue occurred:

Counsel-"You are worth million and
a half!'
Barnum-"Better vet.'
Counsel-"Is not this SO -
Birnum-"I shall tell You if the court
so directs"
Judgc-"What is the object of the in-
