sioner Corbett, Of the Board Of improvements
has been brought by one Of the sufferers under
the Worthington Law, to recover wages, and
will come up for investigation in Squire
Riley's office, on Ninth street, near Plum, Sat
urday next.
Edward Birmingham, Of Walnut Hills, Ia
the plaintiff. He brings the suit TO recover $2G1
for stone which he claims he delivered for the
grading OF street on the order OF Commis-
sioner Corbett several months ago, before the
Worthington Law went into force, and sS3 for
wages for the actual amount OF labor per-
formed. Mr. g. r. Black is his attorney, and
claims that he will bring this suit to success
ful Issue for his client. He states that in the
suit of Michael Lyons the defendants urged an
objection to the plaintiff having no bill OF par
ticulars.
This objection, it will be remembered, was
overruled by the Court, wnen o bill OF excep-
tion was taken but subsequently Withdrawn.
Now, In order that no exception can be taken,
Mr. Black states that he intends to file petit
tion for the above amount Of money under the
law OF Common Accounts, which makes any
contract or labor pays able as soon as performed,
OF at such ulme when said contract or labor 1e
agreed TO be paid. The Wortnington Law in
this suit, Mr.. Black claims, will not hold good,
because the contract and labor performed by
Mr. Birmingham was ordered by Mr.. Corbett
when there was money in the treasury.
The Worthington Law says that no contract
or work shall be ordered unle,s there is money
in the treasury. On this ground Mr.. Black
proposes to show that when his clients con-
tract was Issued and the labor performed there
was money in the treasury, but that subse-
quently, when tho settlement or the claim was
to be made, the treasury was empty. Similar
suits to these, it is said, will be brought by
other parties.

played yesterday afternoon at the Blue
Stocking ground, in Cumminsville, be-
tween the Blue Stockings and the Eek

Eckfords succeeded in making four
double plays, they could neither beat
the Blues, nor keep the SCORE down
within reasonable limits. The crowd in
attendance was larger than those that
usually assemble on the Cumminsville
grounds, and the Blues played beauti-
fully, Drain, the first baseman, making
two fine double plays, and otherwise
winning the admiration of the specta-
tors. The score is as follows:
