Judge EMORY this morning took
from the jury and dismissed the case
Of Patrick sherbinesu against the

Vim. parmorlae was engaged ne
his attorney in a subsequent suit
for damages against the Great

awnres 90 Mr.. parmerlee. settled the
case with the complaining witness
for a consideration OF $1,000
When Mr. parmeflee received word
Of tho settlement, Patrick had left
the country, and Parmerlec's efforts

Mr.. Parmerlea denounced the pro-
