Rovoral important dovisions wers rondorad by Judgo Blodgett yosterday morning, the most im« rortant, pethaps, in a legal polut of view, being that of John Kildorhowso, owuer of the schoon- er Quoon City, va, Miuer T, Amas & Co., coal mercliants of this city, This caso was a libel to recover trelghit on 1,016 tons of coa) brought Lo this ity by water in complainsut’s achooner. Tho contract betweou the partics was for coal to bo deliverad lore for 81 a ton, tico of handling, afimiog tho usual bills of lading. ‘The schooner Queen City brought a load liers inst November, arriviug on the 47th, Lho master of tho v when ho had mooroed his'boat at the deféudsnts’ dook, de- wauded tho amount of freight, Ames & Cu., however, rofised to pay tha whold, but offerod to pay $300 on acconnt, aud the balauce when tho cargo was dischargod. Tiis was refused, aud, subsequently, wuit was brought for the wholo amount. Miuer T.

WIIAT 18 A DEDICATION ? In the case of Robert V. ‘Tannay va. Richard P. Morgan and others, the question was raised ans to what ncta aud declarations amount o n dedication of 1and, and decided by Jndgo Bjogett yesterday morning. ‘Fhe bill was filad by Tan- bey, who claimoed that Lo was entitléd fo ono- uarterdntorest'in a strip of 1and 50 feot wide, ;\ong each sido of thoright of way whoro tho Chicago & Alton Harlroad had its “dopot in- the ‘Town of Dwight, in Liviogston County, and anked that his oterest might Lo ect of to lmm, or the land sold and big portion paid ovor. It scomu. that in 1tB} tho Chicago & Mtuitssippi Railroad Cowme pany was engaged In building & road from Chica- 2o to Alton. Morgmu, Lathrop & Spoucer, throo of tho dofaniuts, werd L euginoory who 13id ont the road, aud to a corlnin extent dotermined its youte. Thoy took advantage’ of this littlo cir- cumygtance, “and verfl opportunely bought a qusrtospre:tion Just whero tho road was after- Wi run. 1t was originslly intended that tho sito of tho depot for a town ehould bo laid out inf the centre of the quarter-sectiou, 80 a to bo equnily advantageous ; but by pomo accident it was wholly located on ouo 4U-acro tract. Mor- gun convoyed to tho railroad a atrip of land 100 feot wide through this tract, Io sub- sequently bocame the ownor of tho .whole _ quartar-section, and laid it out ioto town bLlocks and lots, naming tho placo Dright. wide was lnid out for the depat, ahd rhariod ~epot.” Morgan wad for several ysars after- wards Superintondent of tho Chicago & Missis- sij.m Road, byt wado no claim to any portion of this depot-land until, somo timo in 1863 or 1863, after tho Mirsissippl Rosd had boon sold ont to tus Clicago & Alon Road under a mortgsge, he asaertpd 6 claim to the 100 foot extrs, or over and abavo tho 100 feot granted in 1853 to the rond. Tho question then arose, Had the land beon Jodieated by Morgan to the Company 80 a8 to debar him from'nsserting his titla? “I'ho com- plainant; who 8 o grautoo of Spencet’s interest, flled & bill claiming that no dood had over heen ivon of this second 200 feet, and thias, thereforo, t remainod in'tho original owners, Judgo Blodgott, howaver, hold that ithad been dodi¢ated to tho railroad, Il said that wotne time ago, the guostion having atisen, Judges Davim and Drummond were l?}po’nlfld roferecs to docido the maiter, and tlhiey hold that the land had boen ralinquivhiod_ by Morgan, though thoy ovaded tho decision of the quontion a8 to whom it bhod boon dedicated. Looking at tho ovidence, hiowever, in the prosont caso, lie shought it way very evidont that orgsn intended to givo it to tho railroad company. On hia firat map boe bad 1aid out a plat 201} foot wide, and markdd it ** de- pot,” thus indicating an intontion that tho rail- road should have it In & docond map, alto, 200 foot were Iald off and marked in colored ink as bulonging to the Company. "Another circumstance to be considored was that Morgau was at tho time n Buperintendent of the road and in friondly rala- tlon to it, 6o that if he intended Lo give tha strip of 1and to any uno it must Liave boen to tha Cotn- pany, Then'ugsin he mado no olalm untll the I1aud had passed ioto the hsods of another com- pauy, years afiorward., e should therefors order that tho snit be dismissed, sud a decroo Lo entered in favor of the complainants in tho fiqfian bill filed, or tue dofendants in tho original il ¥ DUTIES OF & BHITPER, Another caso decided yosterday waa that of McGraw; ownor of the sohiooner Hubbard, vu.

This was a libel to récover damrgen for the non-porfortaance of a contrack to briny conl trom Cloveland to Chieago. ~ In 1873 Dyor charterad tho Hubbard to bring & cargo of coal here, It seomy that tho vossel wont to Clovo< 1aud, and roported to Payne, Nowton & Co,, bug wero told that they would bo obliged to await their turn until gome other vessals wore loaded. ‘Tho Master, however, dechued to do thuws, snd, taking in a cargo of stono, returned. The ownor thon filed A libel for the différence in freight betweon earrying coal and stons, the dawmage to Lis schooner, and for demurrage. A cross-libol was lled nlleging that tho coal wau mu!{, Lusthat the Master had rofused to wag and takoit, Judge Blodgott said that the evidence showed that the Captain of 1ho schoouer refuned to taka bis turn, but immediatoly after roporting began contracting for a load of stons. That a8 soon as he lad dischargod a load b voasol thou nd on board, conld hava roloaded with coal, and iwould have beon dolaved no longer than ho was with the stons. Mr. Dyer had boon thoreby obliged to nmr Lis coal by rm) ot an exira chsrge of a dollar a'ton, 1t also appedrod that the vessol biad received more for carrying etons than she would Liava received for tha conl, Tha rule was that s vemsel shonld wait s roasonable timo without chiarging domurrage,and, as the schoonur hiad failed o do this, sho would' be geable for tha damages occasionod by hor fatlute to perform the contract, A decice was thorelore euterod for tha crons-libultunt, dr.
