A Cotton Case.
The United States Circuit Court to-day be-
fore Judge Shepley, the case of Gazoway B
Lamar of New York, VS.. Albert q. Brown and
Others, was commenced. The ground of action
is the plaintiff claims that in January, 1866. the
defendants seized 1900 bales of cotton of the
value of $500,000 in Georgia; that the same
was illegally taken, and though often request
ed, the defendants have refused to return the
same.
The defendants, in answer, claim they seized
the cotton as special Treasury agents of the
Government, and as such disposed of it and
paid the proceeds into the hands of the Govern
ment, and are therefore not responsible and in
support of this defence, the legal officials of the
United States appear as counsel, B. r. Butler
and G. A. Somerby for plaintiff.
