Messrs. Heckert IL Chandler have
mandamus proceedings
against Nathan Thomas as under sher-

The matter grows out of the Kennett-

rendered against Epgle, who removed
the case to the supreme court where it
was reversed with costs and a new trial
ordered. On the second trial judgment
was again rendered against Engle. Ex-
execution being issued against EDgle,
he demands that his costs in the su
preme court be set off against the final
Judgment against him. Messrs. Titus
4 Mcneil, attorneys for Kennett, claim
an assignment of the judgment and de-
cline TO make the offset; hence these
proceedings. An order TO show cause
has been granted, by Judge Buck.
