NOTES OF INTEREST.
Although no orderhas been made BY the Court
and the exact terms Of the decision cannot be
published, it may be stated that Judge Farwen
has dismissed the bill against Otto Peltzer pray
ing for an injunction restraining the publication
Of Peltzer's Atlas of Chicago and that Ri ac-
count be taken Of all sumo Of money received
in advance for copies of said atlas that list be
furnished Of all persons to whom sheets had al
ready been issued, and making the injunction
perpetual. The decision is understood not to
disturb the injunction. The complainants ap-
pealed against the decision, which, in effect pre-
cluded their participating in any profits Poltzor
might have already made out Of tho transaction,
and as an appeal cannot be heard until Septem-
ber next year, and the defendant, Psltzer' may,
at that time be able to show heavy damages by
the delay in the publication Of the maps, should
the Court above sustain the decision aud dismlss
all proceedings, including the Injunction, the
appeal bond has been placed ct 2o,Uoo. Inc
matter is Of considerable public interest, and IT IT
Tie parties to the suit nor any
persons connected with the Court, could
have been induced to inform the newspapers as
to the hour Ehen His Honor's decision might %
expected, 80 that report could have been pub
Ished Of . matter so interesting to the public.
The only information to be obtained in the
Court is. that the bill has been die1nissed, and
that the order has not get been prepared, and ID,
therefore, not Of record, and should not be pub
Ished. It is believed, however, that the de-
cision will be found mainly as here given.
In CONSEQUENCE OF several new orders grant
ing change OF venue in suits brought against
the Knickerbocker Insurance Company, in Judge
Trees court, tho Journal assumes lnaccuracy in
the report published in this column yesterday,
and discovers that Judge Trees decision in the
cases referred to WAS not as stated, but in favor
of the change. The Journal is in error; tho
cases in which the applications were granted
we're u2defended, and no other order than that
entered could well be made; but in the defended
cases the decision OF his Honor as printed in
TIE TRIBUNE was correct, being summarized
from complete noteg.
