New York, 10. The Brooklyn Argus says
Gazaway b. Lamar was an extensive cotton
speculator during the war. The government
agents confisicated large amount of that ar
ticle to which he laid claim. He sued the
government and retained Jasper X. Herbert
of N. Y. as counsel. telling him fee of $780,.
900 would be paid in the event of success
Herbert, needing assistance, employed Gen.
B. F. Butler as counsel. The case came to
final issue last June, Lamar obtaining
judgment agains: the government for $780,
900. Butler being in Washington the money
was paid dierctly TO him. Butler deducted
the $40, 900 fee from the amount received
and transmitted the balance to Lamar. Her
bert asked his senior counsel for a fair share
of the fee, but was hlandly refused. He then
betook himself to Lamar and he also refused.
He thereupon sued his client for sum, as per
contract in that suit. Application was made
to Judge Tappan this morning for a commits
sion to issue to Washington to take the testi
mony of B. f. Butler. 1t was urged in op-
position that Massachusetts was the residence
of that statesman and thence the commission
should issue, and further that he is in N. Y.
city every fortnight and his testimony can be
conveniently taken there.
Justice Tappan denied the application, bat
with leave to apply for commission to the
home of Gen. Butler, unless he can be cap
tured in New York within two weeks.

er Sprague, of Brooklyn, was quashed day
