ALBION VS.. RICHMOND.
What was Accom- plished in thu
Court Yesterday.

NOuEt AtStCENH
The battle in this "muchly" contested
case opened again yesterday in Judge
Rives' Court-in cases S45, 1,112 and
.l,ISl.- wherein the Rich"nnd-Campany
and r. Richard are plaintiffs, and the
Albion Mining Company, Jos. Potts and
the Albion Consolidated Mining Company
are defendants; and the arguments, etc.,
were kept up until Court adjourned.
In connection with case 845, in which,
as in the other cases, the Albion Con. is
enjoined, an episode took place yesterday
somewhat singular, but fully showing Mr..
Wren's popularity in carrying water on
both shoulders and in arguing upon
queries and legal technicalities, which we
have so often had occasion to notice.
In case S45, which was originally brought
by the Richmond Mining Company and
Joseph Potts, a restraining order was
granted by the Court against defendants.
Some time subsequent, Mr.. Hillhouse,
then acting as counsel for defendants and
the Albion Consolidated Mining Company,
moved the Court to allow the latter COM
pany to be added as defendant, which
motion, although stronuously opposed by
Mr.. Wren, was allowed, and that company
was, and ever since has been, considered
as a defendant in the case. To-day, on
motion of Messrs. Stewart, Baker g.
Wines to dissolve the restraining order,
Mr.. Wren opened his argument with his
usual zeal and learning, and consumed
most of the afternoon in trying to con-
vince the Court that the Albion Consoli-
dated Company should be ruled put of
the case, as it had no legal status in it;
nor had it any right to be done; and,
after quoting many authorities to prove
his side, he said he had no doubt what
ever, but the Court would, if it had erred
in allowing the Albion Consolidated
Company to be made q party defendant,
correct that error and rule IL out; and,
continuing his convincing argument to
prove his position to the Court, he was,
much to his surprise, met by the Albion
counsel with a clear and distinct proposal
to go ont of the case entirely, and thus end
Mr.. Wren's argument. The proposal was,
on suggestion of the Court, reduced to
writing, and Mr.. Wren was allowed until
this morning to accept or decline
the proposal. 1t places this learned gen.
tleman in a peculiar quandary, and we
fully expect to-day to hear him argue with
call his might and main," that the Albion
Consolidated Company should not be al
lowed to withdraw from the case, in other
words, to keep it in, when he argued all
day yesterday that they should be ruled
out. 1t was a cruel move on the part of
the Albion counsel, but we have every
confidence in Mr.. Wren's ability to show
to the Court to day that the Albion Con-
solidated Mining Company should not be
allowed to withdraw, although he argued
yesterday that it must withdraw or be
rnla6 ont Tho Albion ppnnspl will Annhf-
less to-day make a formal motion that that
company be dismissed from case 845. 1t
will, however, give to Mr.. Wren a splendid
opportunity to carry water Oh both Shout
ders end avail himself of every possible
legal bubble and query to convince the
Court that it be kept in, and also that it
should be kept out.
