So Three Judges Decide in the CIunIe-
sutIIR Case.
Judge Sanderson delivered long opinion
yesterday, which was concurred Ia by
Judges Slack and Hebbard, in the we'll
known and long-cOntested case of Sutliff
against Andrew J. Clunie, assignee of Henry
Sutliff. an action TO modify the report of the
referee in settling the accounts OF the
assignee.
The three Judges named decided that the
report should be modified iu favor OF the
plaintiff, as asked, involving the amount of
$1,000.
Henry Suilif, retail tobacco-dealer on
Kearny street. In 1857, conceived the idea
that he was insOlyeut. and on the advice of
Attorney Thomas J. Clunie, made an assign
ment for the benefit Of his creditors to An-
drew j. Clune, a brother of the attorney.
As matter of fact Sutliff was not insol-
vent His business was continued, and
every creditor has since been paid dollar for
dollar
Sutliff's Indebtedness amounted TO $50 900,
half of which was owing to the firms of
Brandenstein & Co. and Rosenbaum Bros.
Attorney Thomas Clunie negotiated the
claims of the two firms, and managed to
obtain a settlement for 80 per cent in one
case and 60 In the other.
Thomas j. Clnnie then endeayored to
charge himself with the full amount of the
claims, TO which Sutlf objected in his suit
against Andrew Clunie, the assignee. The
court decided that Attorney Clunie's posi-
ton, from legal standpoint was that of an
agent for the defendant assignee. and as
such his acts must be considered as those Of
the defendant
The account was accordingly ordered
modified by the substitution OF the actual
amount paid the two firms mentioned.

BEAVER, Jan. 19.-When the trial OF
the Quay libel suit was resumed this
morning, Taylor Faunce of Philadelphia
stated that he examined the books of the
keystone Bank, but found Quay's name
on them only in the matter of the certifi-

John A. Mellan, one of the defendants.
admitted the publication, saying he re-
ceived the note and the electrotype
and the headline, "Quay;IToo, Was In
It," from Chairman Kerr of the Demo-
cratic State Committee. He thought the
matter for public information, and
printed it.
The defense here rested their case, and
Dougherty began an argument for the
defense. He referred to the rejection OF
the Democratic jurors and claimed the
jury was packed. The publication, he
said, was near the close of a heated cam
paign, and insisted that whether true or
false, the papers had a right to publish
them as the matter was of public interest.
