Aiusworth to dig miss the Sdits of the Merchants oan and Trust company against both com paIies came up in district court yes terday morning. The greater part of the forendon was taken up by M '. A.nsworYh in support of the mo.ion, which was opposed by L. H Chalmers appearing in the interest of Receiver c. J. Hall.
