by Henry II. Armstead. IA broker and engineer in
the Potter Building In the suit brought by him to
recover $4,000 from J. Il. Brewster CO.. the car
riage manufacturers who failed q short time ago

void. When Armstead brought the action to re-
cover the loan he i.ed affidavit In which he
alleged that j. b. Brewster had told him that
fraudulent preferences made to certain of the
directors and stockholders by the transfer to them
OF carriages and open accounts prior the assign
ment. A motion will be made this week in the
Supreme Court by the attorneys for the
TO set aside and vacate the attachment aimed by
Armstead November IS on the ground that there
is no course Of action. There IS a denial that
there were any fraudulent preferences IL is also
