PHILADELPHIA, August S.-The five civil
suits brought bv Chsuncsy II. Fuller, general
agent in this city of the Chicago Meat Com
pany, against The Western Uaion Telegraph
Company, have been decided, by Magistrate
Les, in favor of the company.
The M gistrate held that the act of the
Assembly under which the plaintiff proceeds
did not Apply to the case tnat there was no
contract, as Fuller in tsiling 10 leave either
his dispatches or money for their transmis-
sion with the company's employees, failed to
comply with his part Of the contract, and
that therefore the law binding upon the COM
pany in -respeci TO the delivery of messages
could not apply to tine case. The magistrate
further held that the law was intended to
avert any possibility OF discrimination on
the part Ct. the company in favor OF one
sender over another, and that it was doubt
full whether the general application of this
restriction which they put on sending dis
patches, "Suhiect to delay violated the pro
visions OF that law. Fuiler's counsel gave
