rolving very interesting and important prlucl-
niles in respect to the liability OF partners, or
aihpr agents, or trustees dealing with hduclary
v,' during the war, iu which parties Oh

c.rned, was taken up in the Court of Appeals,

Cauchton ESQ.,, made an able argument IN be-
half of the appellant. Yesterday John How
ard c>o further argued the case for the APP
pelre wneu the case Was continued TILL to-day.
The partl TO the suit were partners IN wash
;urton, d. Z. before the war. On the 22d
Nav, lS6l, Hutchinson left Washington to visit
his family in Fauqui"r county, Va. In few
days thereafter the Federal army Invaded Vlr-
sinia and HUI Crimson did not return to Wash
iugtou, but remained In Richmond during the
war, where he still resides After Hutchinson, 8
departure from Washington, Taylor, the resi-
dent partner carried 90 the business 10 the usu-
al firm uame fer sometime, aud then had val
uatiou made Of the stock, which he claimed
was made by agreement between him aud
Hutchinson, aud louk the stock at that valua-
ton This was 10 July, 1861. Taylor claims
that the firm was then lnSolvent to large
amount, and hat be compromised the debts
of the cunccrn at AZ cents on the dollar, ana
then carried on the business in his owu name
during the war; and in April, 1865, had made
a clear profit Of $4,000. Hutchinson denies
tha, any ayr, cneut was made between him aud
TAYLOR authorizing Taylor to take the assets at
valuation, and claims that the profits made dur
ING the war were made with the partnership
eff cts, and that he is entitled to claim one half
OF the profits The court below (Circuit Court
of Alrxaudra) decided in favor OF Hutchinson,
and Taylor appealed to the Sup RENE Court of
