The Credit Mobilier suit which was tried in
Hartford, Conn, last October, has been re-
Gently decided by United States Judges Hunt
and Shipman. The motion Of defendants
counsel to dismiss the bill, involving ques-
ton of Jurisdiction, was decided In favor of
the Government on the second point. The
Court sustans the demurrer, and dismisses
the bill as to parties who demurred.
The ground of the demurrer Is that
the damage to the Government by the Credit
Mobilier frauds is too remote to be reached
by the process pursued, or by any other, and
that the Government has at present no pecun-
larry interest to be reached by the bill. The
Court takes the view that there Ia no trust
anywhere raised In behalf Of the Government
to be protected. The motion to dissolve the
injunction was granted.
