MR.. BUSH AND MR. GARRARD At ODDS.
THE LIE GIVEN IN THE COURT HoUsE-Two DIF-
FERING ACCOUNTS.

FERING ACCOUNTS.
j. Adriance Bush "a well-known lawyer, of No.
95 Liberty-st., member of the Union
League Club and Bridge Trustee, fell
into short and sharp alteration in the
Court House yesterday with William r. Garrard,
formerly lawyer in Kentucky, who has been prsc-
tisng law in this city for the last ter years. Mr..
Garrard, in sterling English, called Mr. Bush a
liar" and the latter turned upon his heel in scorn.
The gentlemen each about six feet tall erect in
carriage, finely formed and full of energy. MIR.
Bush is about thirty-fve years old, while Mr..
Garrard is over fifty; possibly nearer
sixty, for his hair and mustache are
white. The two lawyers appeared before Judge
Freedman, Mr.. Garard for the plaintiff and er.
Bush for the defendant, in regard to Judgment
which had been obtained against Mr. Bushs client.
Mr.. Bush had offered to settle for sum less than
the judE ert, and the offer had been accepted.
So far 70 two lawyers agree but from that
point they differ. Mr.. Bush said at the
Union League Club last evening: "a few days ago
MIR. Garrard accepted my offer of settlement, and
agreed TO meet me, receive the money and give Inc
q satisfaction-pieco to-day. He told Inc, further,
that we could settle the case without the necessity
OF my client being present. found however, on
meeting him that he had satisfaction piece
signed by his client, but offered 70 sign himself.
This would not be sufficient in case of sum less
than the Judgment. was not satisfied. of course,

at this IN view of what Mr.. Garrard had said and
so, in arguing The case before Judge Freedman, |
accused Mr.. Garrard of sharp practlce.' The de-
fault was granted for technical reasons. | passed
INTO the clerks room afterward and in coming out
and reaching the head OF the stairs, some ten
harangung two or three men about the case and

nothing TO say to him. aud went down the stars
believe that he was trying to pull OF his gloves
but as he was so much older than myself, thought
that the best thing for me to do was to pay no
further attention to him."
Mr.. Garrard was very indignant when informed
OF Mr.. Bush's version of the matter. and said: "f
Mr. Bush states that told HIM that his client need
not be present, he lies. | said nothing about 1t.
If he says that Judge Freedman granted
hls clients default on mere techHical grounds, he
lies 1t was done as matter OF pure law. If Judge
Freedman had not granted the defaulr, should
have lost the proceedings. As for the rest, when
Ar. Bush made his charge of sharp practice SAID
to him under my breath: . If it IS a falsehood you
abuse your privilege as a counsel TO say what YOu
would not dare say elsewhereP After the proceed

reached the hall. L said: Bush,
your statement Of sharp practice is lie, and on
lie.' TO winch he answered that he would see my
client. | replica: Il think you're Just that kind

entirely different matter thmG il a poor kind OF
escape for Mr.. Bush to refer to he difference in

fectly able Ia take care of myself"
At late hour IL stated on good authority
that no challenge had passed between the lawyers.
Further developments are awaited with interest.
