In the United States Circuit Court the
jury yesterday rendered verdict in favor
of plaintiff in tire suit of Thomas N. Jack
son against William GOlding. decreeing the
former owner Of the large amount of real
estate in question, consisting of several lots
AOf ground. This verdict attracted cOnsid-
Nerable attention, as it was entirely unex-
pected. The action is for the possession OF
the property, and the suit has been pending
long time. The defendant is to surrender
the property from the time he came into
1,oc r., IL
over every inch. 1t appears from what
can be gathered from cursory hearing
that the ground corner of Delord and New
Levee streets, known as PattersOn's foun-
dry. is the bone Of contention, the plaintiff
holding that there was infOrmality in the
decree of sale ordered by court under
which the defendant holds. The ruling of
the jury was to the effect that the jury had
nothing to pronounce upon n regard to this
informality, which ruling the jury pro-
ceeded to upset in the verdict.
George Henry Chldress was yesterday
discharged from all debts and claims exist
ing on the twenty eighth of June, 1871, the
date of filing the petition in bankruptcy.
In the Eighth District Court, the jury
Thomassin against p N. Rivera, a verdict
for plaintiff which was worded thus,
General Werdick for Fantef," counsel for
defendant moved for a new trial, on the
ground that no verdict has been given,
these words not being English. and upon
this following grounds in addition: That
on Wednesday, the day previous to the
rendition of the verdict, and while the case
was pending before the jury, two OF the
iurors. whose names are not now remem-
hered, but whO'can be easily Identified, ap-
proached plaintiff, Thomassin, and de-
handed some money from him tor Their
verdict. saying that they would decide IN
his favor if he would pay them, all OF winch
conduct was improper on the part OF said
iurors. and exhibits corrupt and mercenary
motives in the rendition OF their verdict;
and yitiates the same.
That various and numerous persons had
communication with the jury while they
were celebrating upon their verdict. and
that some of the Jurors We're tempered WIN
and improperly and illegally influenced III
their decision; that spirituous liquors were
oiven to the jury and used by them to such
an extent as to obscure their understanding
and canse them to be easily influenced by
outside interference, and particularly by
- fr;enIs of defendant Rivera, all OF
which VA be established on the trial OF
this rule.
