SINGULAR CASE.-A rather curious case is
on trial in the Superior Court of New York.
A clerk in the employ of firm in Washington
market was arrested on complaint Of bis en-
ployers, in January last, on charge of having
stolen fifty cents, and was held in custody for
three days awaiting trial. After his commit
ment one of the firm came to him and offered
to settle the matter for 5000 The check was
given, the partner did not appear to testify,
and the clerk was discharged, whereupon he
stopped payment for the check and now sues
to recover damages for false imprisonment in
the sum of $40, 900. If he RECEIVERS, his arrest
will prove to have been, We presume, the most
profitable incident of his life.
