 rance.
 This court came in yesterday motning at 10 o'clock. The most of the time during the day was consumed in motions.
 Arguments were made in the case of Elka- nah Lane vs. Attorney and exJudge Munson, an effort being made to have the court cer- tify to the Supreme court that the verdict obtained in this court not long ago was against the evidence.
 Arguments were also made on similar motion in the case of Johnson vs. Higgins. It appears that Higgins, as an officer, attach ed for New York creditors the cigar store of one Otto Cytron and sold the property and aYerdict was found against him.
