Famous Kettle Case.
The famous Massachusetts, "kettle case" which
eNclted SO much attention few years ago, finds
parallel in suit brought before the Court of APP
peals at Albany during the present term. This suit
originated in a Justices court in 1885, the dispute
being over the amount of interest due on borrowed
money, which only amounted to about S.. The
interest sS0S; the other ss12 A suit
was instituted to recover the four cents difference,
and the suit is still in progress after lapse OF
eighteen years. The ss12 has increased to $500,
besides the fees attending the prosecution and de-
dead as well as the first lawyers who appeared in
the case. When it will be terminated it is hard to
tell This is a ludcrous commentary on the folly Of
employing the power OF the law for the qualification
of fapersonal animosity.

'Little Phil has been trottGd out for the Presi-
