DoRE's ESTATE
In the suit of W H. A. Brown as administrator a.
the estate of W H. Brown. who died in Oc,oh.,
last to recover 100000 and interest from Ocobs,
1s53 from the estate OF Commodore vandsrhilt
decision was given yesterday by tho Appellate Div,
sion OF the Supreme Court. unfolding Jus,,c.
Pryor's ruling that Brown Is not entitled 10 Az
anime the business accounts of the dead Comma
dore The decision is final no further anna,
can be taken
According to the plaintiff on March o. 1851 "
Brown and Cornelius Vanderbilt made an ay,ao'
ment to run a line OF steamers from San Frarc,so.
TO New-York Brown at that time owned sor-
steamers carrying freight and passengers from San
Francisco 10 San Juan del Sur. and Mr. Wander
bilt's steamers ran from New-York 10 San Juan IA,
Norte The agreement. an alleged copy OF which "a
included i'm the pleadings presented 10 the Court
particularly states that no partnership is designed
but that each party is responsible for his own
ships and that each shall act the agent Of the
other The continuous line thus formed was the
origin of tho Nicaragua Transit Company.
In 1852 Mr. Brown borrowed s20 900 from Mr. Van
derbilt giving security his ships Pacific. hide
pendence Sea Bird and Daniel Webster. valued at
500 Oo0 under the agreement that when Mr. Van
derbilt from the earnings OF the ships. had REIN.
bursed himself for the $4,000. he should reconyey
the vessels to Brown. The PLAINTIFF contention Is
that Mr. Vanderbilt never recorveyed the ships and
that their value and the accrued money earned BY
them since 1853 re due the estate OF W n. Brown
on November IS, last. William +. Randel. counsel
for W. n. a. Brown. began suit in the supreme
Court
Through their counsel Anderson, Howland &

estate owed Brown any money and that they
could find any record of any sucn transactions
the plaintiff alleged In response TO a demand for
a discovery on Commodore Vanderbit's books
argued before Justice Bcekman. the Vanderbilt ex-
,.c,itors defaulted. They then offered and counsel
for Brown agreed 10 accept. transcript OF those
parts OF Mr. Vanderblts books on which ". II.
Browns name figured The transcripts did not
contain the information needed for the prosecution
of the suit and Mr. Randel brought suit for fuller
accounting in Special Term Justice Pryor in Re.
pantiff had already obtained what he asked for he
was not entitled 10 more and that he had nor shown
to the satisfaction Of the Court that entries were
contained in the books as to tho matter in ques-
ton From that decision the plaintiff took an
appeal to the Appellate Division.
