Legal ImbroRltO-The Teuunt DIsposesscd
and Ordered to Make Kesttutios.
The Supreme Court has delivered decision
at Harrisburg which is of considerable impor-
taRce to Phlladelphians, In the case of Parker
and Watts vs. Robert Fox, the latter being the
proprietor of the American Theatre. The
decision not only disposesses him of the pro-
perry but also compels him to make restitution
to a considerable amount to the estate to which
the property belongs. The case has been
in the courts for over year. and the con-
clusion was not reached until several days
since. 1t appears that on February 81,
1864, Isaac Brown Parker, the owner
of the Continental Theatre, leased il to Mr. Fox
for term Of five years, until March 81, 1869 at
yearly rental of $4,000, to be paid in quarterly
instalments and in addition Mr. Fox was to
pay all the taxes, charges for licenses fees, as
sessments, water rents, for gas consumed on
the premises and all to be paid within the time
required by law. Mr.. Parker died on September
10, 1865. and in his will designated John Brown
Parker and Frederick Watts his executors.
The court confirmed them. On March 81,
1862 at the expiration of the lease, Mr..
Fox was notified to quit the premises.
lie continued Sed ,Son NJ in possession co. until
colleague Mr.. Watts, entered suit before Alder
men Plankinton and Boswell for the possession
of the premises. After full hearing the alder
men ordered Mr.. Fox to deliver up the premises,
and directed the Sheriff to draw jury to decide
the question of restitution. Accordingly the
inquisltion assembled and awarded damages
against Mr.. Fox-For the unjust detention of
the property, $016'G6; for taxes, $1,000: for gas
consumed, $10109; and for water rent, S26'35;
besides the costs of the suit
In reply Mr.. Fox, by counsel, appeared in the
Court of Common Pleas and filed the following
exceptions to the decree of the aldermen
First. Because the suit was improperly
brought, by the executors, for the possession of
the real estate
Second Because the notice to quit was signed
by only one OF the executors, and therefore
defective.
Third. Because the defendant was not sum-
moned as required by law.
Fourth. Because the Sheriff did not summon
freeholders, as required by the act of Assembly.
Fifth. Because the damages were excessive
aud given for other objects than the unjust de-
tention of the premises.
Sixth. Because the record does not show all
the facts necessary to give jurisdiction.
The reasons were argued on December 81,
1869, the Court sustained the exceptions, and
reversed and set aside the judgment.
On the following day the case was taken to
the Supreme Court, and after argument at Har-
risburg Judge Read reversed the decision of the
Court below, and ordered restitution to be paid
Immediately.

THE TRADEsMEN'S BANK BUILDING.-The
new building of the Tradesmen's National Bank
is now about to be erected on lot now occu-
pied by two old buildings on the east side of
Third street, above Carriers alley. These two
buildings are to be entirely demolished, and
fine new structure erected on the site. Various
plans and specifications have been sub
mitted to the officers of the bank, but
it has not yet been determined which of them
will be accepted. The plans are in different
styles, some being very ornamental, and the
cost of the most expensive reaches quite high
figure. They are all especially planned for the
comfort and convenience of the officers of the
bank and their customers in the transaction of
the business of the bank. The amount to be
expended on the structure is yet to be fixed, and
when that question is decided a plan will
speedily be approved and the work commenced.
The new building will not, however, be con-
structed so cheaply as to be entirely unorna-
mental, but only such an one will be decided
upon as will be a credit in every respect to the
business portion of our city. The material is
to be of some sort of stone or MARBLE which
will be used to produce massive effect
The greatest care will be exercised in the con-
struction of the vaults, so that tho greatest
safety will be secured. The building will pro-
badly be completed within the present year.
