be arrested, when he struck Rogers with his club
and q tight ensued. during which he was badly
beaten.
In reply TO questions from the Court the ofncer
said that neither OF the prisoners was drunk at tho

turbance he saw was one Of them swinging ham,

done by the officer and not by the prisoners. He

The Farmers and Citizens National Bank
Important Decision.
Before Judge Benedict.
Frederick A. Plat, Receirer Us. John II. BrOdch
ana OtherS-Judge Benedict rendered the fol-
lowing decision in this case yesterday:-This ac-
ton Ia brought by the receiver Of the Farmers
and Citizens National Bank to recover the amount
OF promissory note made and endorsed by the de.
PENDANTS. 1t now comes before the court upon
motion for judgment upon o verdict for the
plaintiff, which taken by direction Of the Court
subject to the opinion OF the Court. Among the
other points taken by the defendant in opposition to
the motion is this:-That the evidence did not show
the note upon which the suit brought TO have been
stamped, as required by the Revenue laws; while on
the part Of the plntin 1t is insisted that inasmuch
stamp purporting to have been duly cancelled on
the day Of the date OF the note it presumed to have
been duly aixed on that day. There appears to have
been some misunderstanding OF the evidence given
upon this point As the notes Of the trial show the
parties to the note who left II ut the bank that
The president OF the bank, with whom they left 1t,
says he did not put the stamp and does not know
who did; and the cashier OF the bank shows
that he did not put the stamp on. There was
no evidence as to when the stamp was affixed,
or that there were any other persons connected
with the bank than those sworn who were author
lied to stamp notes or that the cancellation stamp Is
that OF the bank and the present holder Is not asked
whether the stamp was upon the note when 1t came
into his hands. In this position OF the evidence the
defendant was entitled to go to the jury upon the
question Of fact raised in regard to the stamp The
motion for judgment must, therefore, be denied and
o new trial granted. The cause will be placed upon
the calendar Of the present term.
