Jude A. L. HolIaday, Of The Chsncesy
Court, yesterday delivered the following In
the case Of Kidder, Peabody q Co. and
others against blanchard and others.
The defendant, s. G. Blanchard, an old
gentleman seventy-fve years OF age, was
arrested on the Sd OF this month under a
writ of cdpjas dd respondendmm issued
from the Chancery Court upon the affidavit
Of Robert Windsor. Judge Holiday,
after reviewing the testimony In lengthy
opiuion, concludes as follows:
I" am clearly OF opinion that the plain
tiffs have utterly failed to establish the fact
that there was probable cause at the time
the affidavit was made for believing that
the defendant was about TO quit the State
within the meaning Of section 80 aforesaid.
On the other hand, the evidence, to my
mind. Is conclusive that Captain >. U.
Blanchard came TO Richmond on the 2lst
day OF May, 1884, with the positive inten-
ton OF making II his permanent home. He
made this known on all proper occasions
to the persons with whom he bad business,
social, or friendly relations, and 1 see no
sufficient grounds for believing that he
will be absent from the State, except for
the purposes OF health, or business, or
pleasure, which do not subject him to ar.
rest as debtor about to quit the State. IL
therefore follows that the cdpias must be
q,,ashed and the defendant discharged
from custody" -
When this opinion was delivered Sheriff
Winston served another cdpids upon Sir;
Blanchard, obtained by Mr.. Whitlock, and
Mr.. Blanchard was carried before Judge
Wexford, and he was recognized to appear
before him Monday, June 9th, at IL O'Clock,
for trial in the new case.

Among Jewellers there Is straining after
new designs, which Is making queer and
expensive work among men who have, or

but new colors and new amalgams are made
until what is really 1S-karat gold is made
to look like white wax, or like platina,
or steel or lead, and should the owner
OF such chains and trinkets ever want
a loan there Is not a pawnbroker In
the country who would lend him ten
cents on a pound OF his gold. The
expensive features OF the matter are the
design and the efforts to match cOlors.
They cost immensely. One gentleman had
q chain-a peculiarly neat little light, half
steel-colored affair-which cost him S2S,
about what it was worth. He tried to
match Il with bar and catch and charms.

was Sl26, and even then the matching was
not satisfactory, and the intrinsic value Of
all be he had was not over $40. The rest
OF the cost had gone into labor OF no

lost.
