Novel Features.
The novel features OF the case arc
the facts that the cause for action vas
committed In another State: that
, neither the defendant noc4the plaintiffs
reside here. and that the suit was
brought to this court In an unusual
manner. The defendant chafges that
the brokers had spoilers on the look
out for him. and that when as q Con-
federate soldier he came to Manchester
10 attend the reunion they then served
the papers upon him and entered the
suit In the Manchester court. IT is
charged that this was done With the
Virginia court. since the laws OF this
Z state are moro favorable to stock
brokers'
Judging from the number Of manu-
4 scripts, records and other books that
tile attorneys for tho plaintiffs brought
to court yesterday morning, the Gaze
VIII consume a great deal OF time.
