New YORK, Nov. 14,-The suit of Sam.
Wilkerson against Henry Ward Beecher
was called to-day before Judge Barrett in
the Supreme Court. The action is for a
breach of contract. Beecher contracted
with the publishing firm OF Ford & Co. in
December, 1869, to write the Life Of
Christ" He agreed to write the book
within eighteen months, and received as
part payment in advance, and before sign
ing the contract, $40, 900. Wilkerson was
a partner in the firm, and paid in advance.
Since then the plaintiff says he has never
been able to get a book from Beecher, nor
the Sl0,0 900 advanced. The first part was
furnished to Ford 4 Co. some years ago,
and was published and circulated. The
second part was only partially furnished
by defendant. Plaintiff alleges that he
was put TO considerable expense in prepar-
ing for the printing Of tine work, and sues
to recover the expenses, When the case was
called to-day both sides were ready.
Beecher was present and sat beside his
counsel, Thomas G. Sherman.
