view OF securing position for his carriage on a

ceeded, which displeased the Hayden coachy,
who attempted TO Dust him. A battle ensued
between the vehicles, each driver whipping his

The supreme Court Of the District decided on
saturday the case Of n. J. Meigs Va. the Corpo-
ration Of Washington, 4 case which has been
upon the calender for some time, and has at
tracted no little attention, as well because OF the
high character and requirements Of the appel
liant as OF the interest which grew out Of his de-
wise than a. property. II will he remembered
that Mr.. Meigs, on his refusal to pay the dog tax,
was arrested by the police and held for some
time at the statiOn-Honse. The arrest was made
some years ago, aud the case ha, been IN court
