Again the immortal insurance sign comes
to view by Il case of the North British In
surance Company, instisated by James
Campbell against Mr.. McGriif about one
year ago, IN which said Company claimed
to own one-third of said sign. The case
having been first tried before Justice
Hanes resulting in favor of McGriff and
being carried up to Court by Campbell is
again affirmed in favor Of McGriff, which
virtually decides the several cases OF the
same sign between Campbell and Seward
} & Slonneger, two opposing insurance agen-
cies of this place. There has been much
