Fhe Wind.up of restim0ny.Taking
IN the Damage Suit.
Yesterday, after IL days Of taking testi-
mony, this part Of the Albion Richmond
suit for damages came to a close. The
Richmond had got in all its evidence the
day before and the Albion put still other
witnesses on the stand yesterday morning
in rebuttal. Supt. T. j. Read, N. wes-
coat, f. J. Mette. J. @. Harris and II. s.
Richard were examined, and their state
ments, barring that OF the last named,
went to confirm what the Albion witnesses
had previously testified to as 10 the guam
tty and quality Of the ore taken out Of
the disputed ground, principally ore
chamber B. Counsel for the Albion, how
ever. were startled upon examing h. y.
Rickard to find that he would not testify
al they had anticipated he would in regard
to the proportion of waste mixed in with
the ore extracted from chamber b. The
witness, we believe, testified that from his
knowledge of the ground the waste would
run from o~ne-fourth to one-third the
quantity Of the ore. Counsel for the
Albion expressed Indignation and bitter
ness over this unexpected testi-
mony by their own witness whose
statement, 1t was alleged, they had
taken dow the night before
and depended upon as in the inter-
est of their client. One OF the gentlemen

compsny's employ. As the Richmond had
rested its case and further progress de-
pended ON the movement Of the Albion,
the court, at once, took . recess. Upon
Resembling at Q o'clock in the afternoon,

court had been greatly impeded by the

thereafter to five days confinement in the
County Jail for contempt Of court. The
lecture had q very marked effect upon the
advocates all, and the air OF the courtroom

they were not on their own ground when
they took out the ore in controversy. The
court ruled that the evidence WAS not ad-
missible. Then W. s. Woods, Esq.. for
the Albion. opened the end Of the case by
asking the court for instructions for the
jury. 1t looks, now, as though the suit
will be concluded to-day by probably I'M

lawyers will all doubtless make strong,
long speeches to-day, and they will proba-
