Judge Dibble yesterday rendered an oral
opinion. deciding not to grant the injunction,
but tO allow the suit for damages to be pro-
ceeded with against the board
The Judge granted an injunction yester-
day in the issue pending before him, in
which Edward Denechaud, the proprietor
Of the Washington Hotel, at the Lake End,
is plaintiff, and John Triscori defendant.
The squabble in this case grew out Of an at
tempt on the part Of the defendant to con-
struct fence on the lake shore, to which
the plaintiff objected, and hence the appli-
cation for an injunction.
Fifth District Court.
Judge Leaumont, of this court, yesterday
reversed his opinion in the suit brought by
Charles Case, receiver Of the First National
Bank. and Richard Taylor, lessee OF the
New Canal.
Judge Leaumont in the first instance, it
will be remembered, decided that the con-
tract between the State and General Taylor
was one of ordinary lease, and the rights
under it were subject to seizure az in the
case of any other ordinary lease.
Having granted q new trial in the case he
yesterday reversed his opinion, holding that
the contract was special one with the
State, similar te the contract which he was
under with the State to furnish his services
for 5000 per annum.
1t is supposed that this case will be taken
up to the Supreme Court for final arbitra-
ment
