Jackson. capt Frank Johnston,
of this city, who was some tiGe ago
appointed a. special judge in the
case OF H. N. Lam b VS.. e. A.
Rowan, involving a partnership in
saw mill, which was argued some
time ago. has handed down his de.
cis.on. The decision embraces 81
pages, uphoIds the contention of
DR.. Rowan that the business was a
partnership, which Mr.. Lamb de-
MED. The decision of the lower
court was reversed and Lamb taxed
with tw l-thirds of the costs. while
Rowan is taxed skone-third. The
case is interesting from tae fact
that it has bsen, in the lower courts
TOR a number. of years, and the
record filed in the supreme caurt
was the largest that has ever been
flied with that tribunal. The rec
rods IN the case were so bulky that
thev were packed In a large dry
goods box and shipped by express.

also set up the contention that the

raised, are not ustainiEg un-
der the lower assessment, ard that
with the higher assessment they
