The Giant Powder Case-Pctiti0n De-
| WASHINGTON, November 14th.-Hall Nc
Allister from San Francisco and G. Austin
| Browne from Boston came to Washington a
| few days ago to apply to Judge Field for a
rehearipg of the giant powder case, in which
Judge Field, while holding the California
Circuit Court last month, decided that the
reissue of the patent of that company is in
valid The two lawyers presented their Pc
| tition in person and pressed it with great
earnestness, but the Judge replied that the
only proper place to present the application
would be in the Court at San Francisco that
it could not even then be considered until
notice should be served on the opposing par
| ties, and the application set down for argu-
ment and consideration by the Court regu-
larry. and that in no event would he (Judge
Field) entertain the application in Washing
ton. Tine company's counsel, objected to
| this on the ground that Judge Sawyer would
not act upon the matter during Justice
Fields absence, but the latter replied that
the regular course of procedure must be
pursued adding that copy of the petition
could readily be sent him after serving a no.
tice on the other side. Messrs. McAllister
| and Browne have now started homewards,
and will doubtless soon submit their applica-
ton to the Circuit Court in San Francisco,
but do not expect that it will be acted on by
Judge Sawyer until he shall have forwarded
copy to Judge Field and obtained his opln-
ion as to the advisability of granting it, The
case is of great Importance to the mining in
terests throughout the country, and especially
in California.
