Anthony Reybold has won his suit
against the Salem and Philadelphia
Navigation Co. The case has been
appealed from one Court to another
for many years. The Supreme Court
decided Tuesday that the Steamboat
Company must pay the money. The
Steamer Swan was leased to the
Government during the war with the
understanding that the Government
should pay the pilot. This was not
done and Mr.. Reybold, then mem
Der of the Company, worked on the
case with the understanding that he
should have, for his own use, any
sum which he might recover. FL
nally the government paid to the
Steamboat Company the sum Of
$2,89S.18, which money was retained
by the company. Mr.. Reybold de-
manded payment and was refused.
He then commenced suit in the
Superior Court in this County and
obtained a favorable verdict. The
case was appealed and the settlement
was not made until the Supreme
Court of the United States decided
in favor of Mr.. Reybold. The costs
of the litigation will have to be paid
by the Company. Senator Gray and
E. g. Bradford Esq, represented Rey-
bold and Senator Higgins and W. G.
Spruance Esq, the Company.
