Yesterday morning was the closing OF the
long drawn out case Of Hy T. Atrill vs. Jules
Cassard ct ais. which has been on trial for 80
many days before a Jury In the United States
Circuit Court.
As the public we'll knows. 1t involves the le-
gality of the transfer of stock and the junction
Of the New Orleans Gaslight Company and the
Crescent City Company. and the point at issue
was whether certain parties eonspiredt to freeze
out" cert lin other parties ia the full enjoyment
of their rights.
II. III. Brown, on the part of the defendants,
closed their case mt about / o'clock. when Il. j.
Semmes commenced his argument for the
plaintiffs. He spoke for fully two hours. when
Judge Billings read Ia lengthy charge to the
Jury.
About half-past 7 o'clock the jury returned
into court with a verdict. but owing to its lack
Of form. they were sent back TO their room. aud
q little after 8 they reappeared In court with
the following:
We. the jury, find in favor Of the defendants
on the demand Of plaintiff. Hy. Y. Atrlll and
we find that the recon- entionaL demand OF the
defendants should be dismissed.
FRED N. ODER. Foreman.
New Orleans. March IA. 1879.
This. after all the tin 9 wasted in court In
hearing testimony and argument, sim ply
amounts to a drawn battle, and leaves both
parties. where they were when the fight COM
meneed.
On motion of Mr.. semmes the verdict was
recorded and judgment entered accordingly.
The court thereupon adjourned.
