The Weber ASSIGNMENT.

In the District Court to-day the Weber
assignment matter was disposed of. 1t will
be remembered that the Probate Court de-

signees had been made. The attorneys for
the present assignees, Messrs. Pau & Star
buck appealed from this decision and
brought the matter before the first-named
Court above. This morning Judge Avery
gave his decision in the case, stating that,
according to the majority or the five Judges,
the appeal could not be granted and the
writ was therefore refused. This will have
the effect of another election for an assignee
being held. The creditors met in pursuance
of the above in the Probate Courtroom to-
day to cast their votes for an assignee.
