Gaskins VS.. johnson Bros; in case. This case
which has occupied the attention of the Court tor
three days, has been warmly contested by ootn
sides The action is brought upon contract OF
agreement which the plaintiff alleges was entered
into between himself and the defendants by Wnlcn
he was required to furnish $1,000 poles and w
piles, to be used in the improvement OF the
James Crock Canal, Washington, ID. u, ana
tina. he proceeded t. comply with the terms OF
the contract and had delivered portions OF the
piles and poles, and was still prosecuting the
work, when at the beginning of the late panic
he was notified by the defendants not to denver
any moro, and the plaintiff claims damages TO
the extent of So, 900 which he suSta' ed by occa-
sion of the non compliance of the terms OF con-
tract on the part OF the defen dants. The line o.
defence taken is that the contract was not LOT
SPECIFIC number of piles and poles but tor
nu On Der sufficient to complete the james creek
Canal Improvement, the probable amount oeing
the numbers above stated and that the pies
and poles delivered, and those ready tor dellV-
ery, did not come up to the specifications OF Inc

to stop the delivery, had never made an absolute
tender to the defendants to complete MS con-
