pbOsDllate Suit.

The Philadelphia papers contain an
account of the disposal Of the case on
Friday last, before Judge Fell in the
court of Common Pleas, in which
Whann Bros. were the plaintiffs and
Walton, Whann & Co., of this city,
we're the defendants.
This was an action to recover damages
for an alleged malicious use of an in
junction. In 1870, the defendants,
manufacturers Of phosphate, obtained
an injunction against the plaintiffs to
prevent them from using trade mark
known as "Whann's Superphosphate, !"
which they claimed as their property.
The injunction was afterwards dis
solved, and the plaintiffs sought to re-
cover damages for the loss sustained by
an alleged malicious use of the in junc-
ton, loss on stock, which they were
obliged to hold while the injunction
was in force, and the expenses incurred
in going from their place of residence in
Wilmington to Philadelphia, while the
matter was in litagitiou, and for Sian
der, in running the plaintiffs reputa
tion IN the market.
Judge Fell granted non suit upon
the application of the defendants upon
the ground that the plaintiffs had not
shown that there had been any mali,
cious prosecution.

Barn BNrned,

On Sunday night about half past
seven o'clock, the barn belonging to
the Kennedy estate near Port Penn, and
occupied by Mr.. Henry Price, promi-
nent granger, was destroyed with all
its contents. The fire when discovered
was under such hpadway that it could
not be extinguished, and consequently
the barn with its contents, consisting
Of considerable quantity of grain and
and hay, with several sets of harness
was entirely destroyed. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of an
incendiary, as a colored man discharged
by Mr.. Price last week threatened 10
return and burn the barn, and the
same man was seen abont the premises
on Sunday. The loss Is partly covered
by insurance. Much credit IS due to
Miss Sue Price for the presence of mind
displayed in giving the alarm.

l Wilmingto.ian Gains HIS Suit


On Friday last a case was tried in
Judge Pierce's Court, Philadslphia, 1t
being that of Alexander Barney, of this
city, residing at 72l Walnut street,
against Charles H. Filter, Of Philadel-
phia, trading as Joseph P. Filter, NJ. d.
The case was an action on a contract to
recover a sum Of money paid for medi-
cines. From the evidence developed 1t
appears that about the lst of May, 1877,
the plaintiff called at the Office of the
defendant, at 1888 Chestnut street, for
the purpose of getting advice. At til.
time Mr.. Barney was suffering severely
with rheumatism, and had been recon-
mended to try the medicine.
Mr.. Barney, after consultation, was
told by the doctor that he thought he
could effect cure if the plaintiff
would take some three dozen bottles of
his medicine, but that if he would take
five and thrse-quarter dozen bottles
and abstain from the use of all malt
and spirituous liquors, he would guar
antee cure or refund the money
the medicine would cost and signed a
printed agreement to that effect.
The plaintiff alleged that he had per-
formed his part of the agreement, but
not being cured he had brought this
suit to receiver the amount expended
for the medicine, as provided in the
contract.
After short deliberation the Jury
returned verdict for the plaintiff for
the full amount claimed, with interest,
to wit, $l06.96. This case has been
pending for over year.
