“THE COURTS. The GCheney Matter Again. A Supplemental Bill Fited Because He Has Joined the Reformed Episcopal Church, Important Decision by Judge Blodgett In the Pennsylvania Rail- road Case. Truman’s Controversy with the Board of Trade. Heavy Sults Against the Citye--Bonk- ruptey Items. TRE PENNBTLVANIA RATLTOAD OASE, Judgo Blodgett delivered his declafon yoator- day morniug, 88 to tho admission of & leaso, offored in evidonco iu tho caso of the Pennsyl- vanis Rallrond Company against John B, 8her- man and othors, Tho facle Liavo alrondy boen publislied, and are algo given in the opivion, ot ‘which wo give & very full abstract, on account of the magnitudo of tho caso. Tho aotion, sald tho Judge, is in covenant on & lenso mado, a8 tho declaration states, April 14, 1864, betwoon the plaintift and tho defondants, and ono Joseph MoPherson, sinco deconsod. It was gigned by Hamuel W. Allorton and Josoph McPhorson, on bohalf of thomsclves and the otber defondnnts, Archibald M. Allerton and John B. Bhormaf, and sots out that plaintil lossed to dofoudants cortain stock-yards noar Pittsburgh. Tho declaration contains thico counts, fiunwnlly aliko, all nlloging the axecu- ton of the lange by McPhorson and B. V. Aller- ton, on their own account, nud also for tho other two dofondants, Divers broachos of tho cove- nanta of the lonso aro atlaged, by which plaintir rulloges it lins sustained great dnmagos. ‘I'o this declaration, tho ploa of non est faotum 18 interposed by A, M. Allerton and Shesuian, aud isuuo joined. This plon is verifiod by Snorman only, for himaclf and Allerton, aud it is object- od ihat it s, theroforo, not good, ua to A. M. Al- lorton, and ho must bo hold to have sdmitted tho oxecution of tho lonso as allegod, i ];Il the thirty-third section of the Practico Act of Illinois, passed in 1871, it is onacted that tho plea denyiug tho oxocution of su_instrumont must ba verlfled by nilidavit, buc with & proviso in cortain cases, T think the proviso broad enough to _justify tho depial by Shorman in behelf of A. M. Aller- ton. It evidently contemplates ibatsome per- gon othor than the dofendant may deny the oxe- cution of tho inatrumont sued on, and such per- son need only swoar a3 to his information and belief, and I think the plon good as to both the defondants who hnve interposad it, The leaso s introduced in_evidonco Ly plaiutilt, (o support ‘'his case, made by 8. W. Allerton and MecPhor- gon only. Thao nrmos of tho other dofendanty do not appear in tho body of tho instrument, nor have they, nor auy one for them, signed it, nor purported to sign it in tholr bebalf. Bub plaintit proposed o prove ox- tringle ovideucs, that the dofondants, A. M, Allertou and Shermavu, bad medo themeelvos parties, and were boand, and for this purpose ho has introduced proof showing thut all the defendnnts nogotinted for the lease in question ; that it was understood they wore all to bo torestod; that many of tho covenants wora suggested by the two dofondants who nro not nummnll{ leuu. and that a lstge deduction from tho reulal was made Dbooause said defoud= anta wero to bo 4o iutorcated, and that, when the torms lind been substantinlly agreed upon, said A, M, Allerton and Shorman said they did not ‘want their names to appesr in the instrument, and their names were not inserted, slthough it was otatod to thom that thoy wers considored parties, and they did not dissont, Alter tho lense was oxecuted, all tho dofend- onts and McPherson entered iuto posseesion of tho premises, but difficultios aroso, aud the two who deny the execution of tho lesso brought a sult, in which they averred and proved that the Jlense was for the joint Lenofit of all tho dofond- ants in_the present case, aud that the lense should bo made by part, but those two not par- tien to this leaso wore to be held responsible for the fultillment of the covenauts, &nd a findiog and decree was mado in accordunce with such allegations and {ern. Aftor making tho proof stated, of the coneeut of tho two dofendants to the leade, plaintiif offer- ed to read the leaso in evidence, aud defondauty object. 'L'he quostion then prosented is,—cau a party by qore proof, supplemont this deod, 80 as to bind tho two dofendants not joining thero- in. Tho general principle it of courso_familiar, thiat we must look to tho iustrument alono, an that no,man can bo bound, uuless ho subscribes his name hiwself or by his_agent duly authoriz- ed. Butk line of authorities is adduced, which show ; firat, that all tho parlios noed not #oal an instrument ; if there 1a ono soal all will be pre- sumed Lo havo sdopted that soal ; secoud, that senlod instruments may be oxccuted in the partuership's name by ono partner, and bind tho firm, it douo within tho scope of the partuorship business. Thus, whon instru- ments are exceutod in & fiim namo parol proof may be Introduced to show who aro the members of the firm, or, if oxcouted in a ficti- tious name, parol proof may bo introduced to show who way the roal firm. - Doos the proof in uestion come within any of thoso ruies ? Iu ihe casos under the first rule the partics Lound Liad signed tho deod, and the question wag a8 lo tho genling. Horo two did not sign. In the portnership cases tho instrumont was tho deed of the firm. 'Thie leaso does mnot purport to bo Bigned by » firm, and tho ox- tonsive eovidenca only tonds to show that 8. W. Allerton's nume represents tue firm. Thoro is no doubt as to tho names Liere; thore was no mistako as to the names, and the proof shows that the two defendants’ names omitted, woro omittod for satisfactory roasons, ‘Whob o firm was held to be bound by a senled instrhment mado by oue, it was whilo'the firm'y name was fixed and known. Hero no flrm had Ticon formod,—thoy wors taking tho initial stops, aud & partnorohip was subsequently mada, The cagoes citod by the plaintiff are exceptionnl to the goueral rule, Roverso tho position of tho par- tics, and wo would not”for a momout hold thaf theeo two defondants not partics, would malutaln & cose agaivst the Company. Moreover, auothor rulo of law is that, whona contract 18 raduced to wilting, evidonce 'of con- temporancous stipulations caunot bo introduced. Tho quostion {3 na to tho compotency of tho testimony to muke these parties linblo us dofend- auts, not an to the weight, and I think is is all inadmisenble, and it must thereforo be excluded. Mr. Storts then asked leave to chango the form'of action, from that of covenant to as- sumpsit on the agroement to make tha loaso, sud askod until 2 o'clock to form their future lino of attack. At 2 p, m,, Mr. Storre nsked aud obtuin- ed leave to filo two additional nccounts to the doularation, averring a partuership between tho dofeudants, and tho dofendants wera given Joave uutil this morning to determine their futuro cours, THE CHENEY CARE AGATN.

Tho Judgo took tho ocaso undor advisement until Friday morning, TIIR TRUMAN NOARD OF TRADE CASE, Judgo Willinma yostorday deolded tho domur- ror to the nnawor of tho Board of Trade in tho otition for n mandnmus filed against it by A E. 'ruman, L'ho care was bronght some time ago by ‘U'ruinan, who had been expelled by the Bonrd of Trade, ngalnet it, to bo restorod, 1o had fnilod to porform an agroomont mado in 1872 with Nichols and Holmor, “Tho auswor sot up that Truman had confessed hin bronoh of contract, and that tho Doard of Direotora hnd expelled him ou that statemont, and aléo on proof. ‘The Judge anld that there wero two points mado on the domurror,—one a8 to the form of trin), tho other rolating to the rule undor which tho patitionor was tried. In regard to tho rule of limitatlon, which wes forco when tho contract was mado, and which, it is _clauned, barrod the right of Nichols and Holmer to complain, inasnuch as it was re- pealed within the year for which it was mado, the Judge hold it made no limitation. Had the rulo continuod ford_year, it would have boon othorwise, But the Loglslaturo hava s right to ropoal & 1aw of limitation, and there is nothing in this caso_tending to deprivo tho Board of Trado of meimilar right. The rule applies to all mem- bors, a8 woll presont as future, Tho anawer was also liold to Lo suflicient in rogard to stating tho form of ftrial, and tho demurror thoroto was aceordingly overruled, DILL FOR DELIEF AND INJUNOCTION, Jennie Poroy filed s bill in the Buperior Court againat James F.
