THE MONTE TRIAL.
The trial of Thomas Dunn and Robert
Murphy, indicted with Daniel Scribner for
the larceny of a gold watch and chain and
$50 in money from Richard B. Thomas on
Jan. 49, 1852, was resumed before Justice
Wylie yesterday. The defense having closed
last evening the government proceeded with
its rebuttal.
Mr.. Thomas was recalled and denied that
he told Mr.. Flinders that the watch was not
worth more than S15 or $50. He did not
know whether he declined to get out war
rant at the suggestion of Mr.. Flinders.
Capt. John Waters, chief of police of Staun-
ton, Va, testified that he knew both Murphy
and Dunn. He arrested the two Murphys
and man named Lang. Dunn was in the
court, but not arrested They did not have
enough on him to warrant them in making
an arrest.
This closed the rebuttal Mr.. Taggart
opened the argument to the jury.
He was followed by Messrs. Pelham and
Williams for the defendant, and Mr.. Wells
closed the argument for the government.
His honor reserved his charge until to-day,
and the court adjourned.

PATENT SUIT.
Mr.. \. c. Richards, as administrator of the
estate of the late Charles NJ. Roberts, in his
own right and for William Cammack and
Rosia w. Welch has filed bill in equity
against Messrs. Herr and Welch for an nc.
count and injunction. The complalnants
claim that they own certain letters patent for
an improvement in the process of manufac-
turing flour and the machinery therefor
which Is of great value, the patent having
been issued to Roberts, July 10, 1s77, for seven
teen years; that July 8, 1871, Roberts assigned
to Richards, Lysander, Hill, and u. A. Ellis
worth n two-thirds interest when the patent
should be issued that on Sept 30 1880, Hill
and Ellsworth assigned their respective rights
to Edward p. Welch, James II. Welch, and
Rosa Welch, and subsequently the complain
ants consolidated their interests and assigned
them to Cammack. 1t is charged that defend
ants knowing the premises and benefits aris-
ing from the invention are using the process
to the great injury and loss of cOmplainants
| They therefore pray that defendants may be
made to account and pay to complainants the
profits acquired, and that they be enioined
from using the invention or any part of it,
