IMPORTANT DECIsION.
City Railway Case Virtually De-
cided In Favor OfDe1end-
ANTS.

Special Chancellor Morgan rendered
his decision this forenoon in the
street railway suit pending between
the old and new management or direc-
tory. The decision was given in
some nineteen or twenty points, and
while not very voluminous, is
too long for our columns
to-day. The special Chancellor
states that it was impossible to render
the decision in fewer number of
points, as it was very complicated
case. Several important points were
decided against Mr.. Davis and his co
adjutoIs, but the preponderance Of the
decision was in their favor. The fol-
lowing are the essential features of
the decision The Chancellor exoner-
ates the President and Directors from
any wrong in the issuance of the $50,-
600 worth Of bonds in November, 1873,
and in reduction of stock by purchase
from $4,000 to $250,O0O. he dis
solves the injunction against the Off
GERS collecting their salaries and the
issuance of the $4,000 worth Of
stock. He declares the lean
of the $500 to the Evening Herald
ultra wires (illegal and beyond their
power), and charges the Directors
with the amount. He declares the
salaries excessive from December.
1874, to March 9th, '7S, and their
loans to officers he declares settled,
but charges them with 6 per cent in
terest with annual rests. There are
several other interesting points, but
they must be omitted to day.
