A HARTFORD CAsR.-Judge Phelps, Of the
Court of Common Pleas, in Baltimore city, on
Tuesday, partly heard the case of Thomas II.
and Martha Patten, of Cecil county, against
Jarrett Spencer, John H. Spencer and Joseph
Spencer, trading as Spencer Bros. The de-
PENDANT firm is sued to recover one years
rent of s'Shad Island Resuryeyed," in the
Susquehanna river, opposite Port Deposit
and for which the defendants claim to be not
responsible, as having dissolved partnership
before the rent accrued. The rent specified is
peculiar, being stipulated as 500 cash, 1000
herring and fifty shad per year. A technical
question arose as to the pleadlngs, and the
case went over. The point was that the de-
PENDANTS had not pleaded the dissolution Of
co-partnership in time to avail themselves of
that defense, but the court overruled the
point. The case Is one removed from Hartford
county w. 8. Evans and Thomas G. Hayes
for plaintiffs, john s. Young and James j.
