EDiToH RrrrnLicAS: Allow me TO correct
a statement In your paper In relation to the
suit for wharfage against Thornton Smith,
decided by Justice CLARK. MIR. William A.
Cook did not appear for the corporation: l
instituted the suit without his knowledge,
and after the hearing Informed him about II.
At my request he called on Justice CLARK, and
in the examination of the case he desired al.
ditlonal evidence, to which, as ] understood,
the Justice consented. l found Mr.. Cook very
unweil, but about the appointed time he APP
peared, but the justice decided the case. The
decision of Justice CLARK amounts to nothing,
for Mr.. Cook promptly took an appeal in or
