Yesterday.
The case Of Price against Ledllc, which has
boon tried four timoa In tho Circuit Court, is too
we'll known to nood any rohoarsnl now. A new
departure WAS made, howovor, yesterday. On
the 18th day Of April prico obtained a Judgment
against J. II. Ledlio and J. II. Corso for 81 400,
which appeared to DO satisfactory to tho defond-
nnss, as no appeal waB ta}cn. Shortly attor a
motion was made to havo execution stayed uutil
certain suitH woro disposed Of. This motion
was overrallcd, and IN appeal takon. An o1oc1-
tion waB then issued against defendants goods,
and tho Sheriff haa threatened to levy. Lodlio
Corse, In explaining tho reason why 1t WAS do
arcd that execution should bo stayed, say that
IN 1868 two quits woro commenced against
Price, ono BY .. Warren aud William Denn tho
other by 8: 4. Curtis and Thomas Bowling.
Tho plaintiffs iii tile present bill were garnsflced,
anu tiled answers denying any 'indobtcdnoss to
prlce. Tile record Of those suits waa destroyed
IN tho great tre, and tho lat Of June noxt
is tho time limited for tho restoration
OF anso-nre casos. It was, therefore, aBkoa tint
tho execution bo stayed until thoBe garniallco
suts be disposed o. for tho plaintiffs in those
he1ng %dg Of the Judgment ns 1So
to restore their papers, and Lcdlie 4 Corse fear
that, should they pay tho amount Of ths judg-
n,ent to prlco, they might render themselves
liable to contempt Of Court. The Court boforo
Thom ,hn tton the suit H. was t5od 4a asing denied
ants havo filed d bill asking an injunc-
tion to-. restrain tho shoriif aud Price
from further proceeding undor tho execution.

further asked that conlplainanta may bo nado
safe from any costs under tho garnishee pro-
ceedingB, or liable for nuy further. amount than
the sum Of 81 400, which they announce thoir
readiness to pay.
MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
Frederick Harria related tale Of misplaced
confidence in bis bill filed in tho Court yos-
terday. Ho statea that In 1866, at tho re-
quest of John Harris, deceased, 10 came
over from England and wont, to work
for tho latter. After d time ho started on
farm for himself, but was again induced to 60 to
work for John Harris on the agreement that If
ho would work for tho old gentleman until his
death he should receive a deod to the farm OH
disappointed to find, whom John Harris died,
that tue farm had bcen willcd to his wife and
children. THIS, complainant thinkn Is not
fulti!lment Of the contract, and be therefore files
Ills bill to break the will.

Il is recorded Of Solomon Of old that he
once had tough case to decide - between
two women, each claiming the motherhood OF
q child To settle the question the wise king
proposed to cut the child in two and give each
woman half The true mother was then re-
vealed when she agreed without any other
scratching OF pulling Of hair to give the other
woman the little one and save his life. A
question somewhat similar lately was sprung
between the station-master and porter ut
an English railway station. A basket came
to the station which upon being opened was
found to contain living child. The
station-master declined the gift, but
the porter, plying the poor little helpless
wanderer, volunteered to accept it and took
the basket and child to his humble home BY
general consent station-master being
glad to get rid of the package 90 easily. The
porter and his wife were made glad for they
were childless, with strong parental desires
unqualified. They lifted the baby gently out
of the basket and found . treasure Of another
sort. II was package of money and counted
out E0OO. Soon as the station-master heard
of the porter's cool fortune, he demanded
the basket and its contents. OF course the
porter refused to give them up and hence the
question of right between them. It would
not take Solomon to decide to which Of the
men the mother would entrust her child.
She is hiding somewhere now rejoicing in
the good fortune Of her darling whom she
may Be ashamed to own. but tor whom she
would nevertheless be brave enough upon
occasion to lay down her life.
