Minis & Sons vs.. Nelson & Donkin.
Jan. Is. This is case in which custody
fees are sought to be recovered on the valua-
ton OF cargo on the British steamship
Naples, and the result of the trial
will be watched with interest, as
case of the kind has been
appealed from the city court to the supreme
court in the case of Straohan & Co, VS.. the
owners of a British steamship, and the dis
puted question of custody fees, now in the
courts, in the British steamship ITALIA case,
led to the lockout of the longshoremen last
month.

Some of the cases have been 80 long on
the calendar that the records are beginning
to show signs of having fallen into the sere
AMI yellow leaf. IL is not likely that half
Of them will come to trial, as it is much
easier to assign the cases than it is to get the
assignment goes bravely on, and the fault
does not lie with the court.
