IMPORTANT DECISION IN A STOCK
TRANSACTION

An important decision was given yesterday by Judge
Sper holding special term Of the superior Court the
case of Crosby Watts it being suit growing out of
stock TRANSACTIONS The following is the opinion in
full the facts Of tho being fully stated hercin:-
The action brought by the plaintif against the de-
fenaapt, broker for accounting the purchase of
200 shares Of the Panama Railroad stock The only
question between the parties Is whether the purchase
was JOINT or several The defendant claims that he
bought the zoo shares on the lOh OF March, 1873 paying
$.s so per share, not jointly but severally 100 for
himself and 100 Tor he plaintiff, and that he gave the
plaintiff verbal notice only. He admits that there
was no entry Of The transaction in his books
He SAYS TWO days after the purchase
he sold his 100 shares for s194 ner share
He carried the plaintiffs 100 shares until the panic
in Scltcmber following, when no sold out for 500
charging the plaintiff with the difference after crediting
him with two payments OF $500 and 81, 500 while the
stock was beng carried The plaintiff claimed the
transaction Joint and not several; that the dc
fendani had no right to sell separately and that he
made the above payment as share OF their joint loss
the stock falling and be having information that the
defendant had sold the 100 shares The testimony is
conflicting between the parties. It appears however,
that the defendant rendered bill u the plaintiff on the
3is Of May 1873, for the plaintiffs share, adding
terest and commission 20 that date stating that the pur

Some Fine Horses from Scotland.

Ten fine stations Of the cele rated Clydesdale
stock arrived in this city on Wednesday in the
steamer Victoria. They were imported from
Scotland by the Powell Brothers, Of Crawford
county, Pa, for breeding purposes. They are
natives of Clydesdale, and on account Of their
scarcity and intrinsic worth command high
prices. The aggregate cost OF this herd was
sS5, 900. They were selected with great care by
an experienced horseman. They are bays,
brown and gray, handsome and large and from
two to five years old. The smallest weighs 1900
and the largest 1900 pounds. Their strength is
enormous. Mr. Powell says he has seen them
pull five tons, and that three tons is an ordinary
load. This is the largest importation Of such
horses ever brought to this country. They were
sent to Pennsylvania last night.-New York S,ss,

ing track from their cotton yard, foot of st.
Joseph street, down the levee, and had reached
the wharf of the Mississippi Valley Transports
ton Company, when complaints were made to

has been the practice of this road to do all the
work they wanted, and have the city in posi-
ton to institute proceedings to undo IT, but
Major Burke has determined to stop this bust
ness, and to force litigation if there was to be
any in the company, and he issued orders for
them to stop the work until they obtained per-
mission from the Council to prosecute it.

But at length their revel
