IMPORTANT CASE ARGUED BY
NORFOLK ATTORNEY.
The Supreme Court of Aassa chusetts
now has under consideration a case
OF much interest to the Albemarle and
Chesapeake Canal Company, since
upon Its determination hinges the OPP
portunity of that company to recover
the shortage of about $4,000 left bv
President Franklin Weld, who alb
seconded several years ago. The case
arose on the construction OF the will
of Yields father, by which Weld is
left large estate. Weld as is known.
died few months after absconding
from Norfolk. and If the will is con-
strued as bequeathing the estate to
him in fee simple, the canal com
pany will recover the shortage. The
estate left by Yields father is valued
at about 100000. The case was argued
before the Supreme Court of Massa-
chusetts last week by Mr.. A. p. Thorn
for the canal company, and counsel
for the Weld estate. Mr.. Thorn re-
turned to the city n few days since.
