Mesars. Mitchcock & Dupea appeur for the iver, TUM DONEGANA Tovsr. Judge Drummond has just decided a case in- yolviug $89,000 and Obadiah Jackson's reputa- tlon, The complainant was Janet Smith, ad- milalstratrix of tho estate of David Smith, who tiled s dill about a 2 ago against Obadiah = Jackson and win sand Jo- seph Swift in tho Cirenlt Court of Cook County to enforce n en for 330,000 on what was kuotwn before the fire as the Done- gana House, on Clark strect, near Polk. This property on the Ist of October, 1865, was sold to ‘Geor oN. Williame by C. C. Walte, and the sums ‘lay Williams gave a note back to secure 000 of the purchase money secured by trust- deed to Obadiah Jackson‘on the property. The note was left with Jackzon for collection, and in October, 1871, he transferred it to David Smith as his own property, to sccure hisown note to Binlth, Previgusly, and In October, 1808, Will- {ams sold the property toa Mre, sloody, and sho ln turn conveyed it {n May, 1871, to Dr. Dyer. He kept It for about a year, and then sold ftto Obadiah Jacksou, All ‘these conveyances were made subject to the trust-deed, and wera soexpreased, Durlngall this time Jackson pre- tended to hold the note for $30,000, and was = occasioually maxing remittances to the owner of on the assumption that he etill held ft, ‘The owser had no knowl- edze of Jackson's bsviue pledged it to Sinith. Bome time subsequently Jackson desired to ralse money ono pledge of the property, and claimed that ho owned It, and that thy $80,000 note had been puld, and that it had been burnt upinthe Chicago firo of 1871. Ho thereupon produced a releuse of (ho trust«leed given by. Willams to him, dated Oct. 2, 1871, This ro- lease ran to Dr. Dyer, but although it bore the above date {t was shown un the trial that it was not executed at that tims, and it was not acknowledged and recorded until August, 1872, After having obtained a loan from Messrs. Swift by means of this relcaso on the assump- Uon that he was tho owner of the property, and that it waa clear from tho Men of the trust- doed, he obtalned additional .money upon the teouclty of tho property from a party named Carroll, ‘The question, therefore, was whether or not the lien of the trustatecd riven by Willlame to Jackson, aud by which the €30,000 note was secured, was valfd as against these subsequent claims of the Bwifts and Carroll, A fraud had been perpetrated by Jackson by which somo of ‘the itigants bod tu suffer, and the point was who was to be the loser. Judge Drumin ond held that the Neo undertho trust-deed of 1583 was valid, ond paramount to ths clalins of the Swifts and Carrols. Even it Mt were not prior in point of time, It sppearcd that all the deeds of conveyance from Williams down to Jackson hal been made subject tu this trustdeed. When the conveyance was mado to Jackson tn 1873 by Dyer, to was clothed with he right of property and had ceased to occupy an ‘orent and disiutercated position of a mero Trustee, and thercfore his acts had not ‘the aac rlgoificance, aud the law would not at- tach the same effect to that as though he had been only a Trustee, and had not claied to bo owner of the property, In other words, while all reasovable allowance would be made for acts os mero Truster ‘when he became the owner of the pro; perty, his acts wero to be criticised and were puldect tu suspicion as such owner, because then it wus for his interest as the owner of the property to show or to make partics who were dealing with him hellovo that this truat-deed had ceased tooperate any longer asallen, Bo when he made statements to the counsel for the Swifts or to others that the nuts ‘was pald, they bad norightto rely on such stato- Ments,—and mare vapecially ag in the cascofthat mado to the Swifts, as the note had not atthat Uno reached maturity. As to the release that was made by Jackson to Dyerpurporting to bear date Oct. 93,1871, ulthough that was before he camo dircctly interested in the property, atitl it was not acknowledged or recorded untl after @ became ownerof tho property, and, there. fore, that was a circumstance suspicious of itself, It did not tuke effect ns ugainst the prior, bona-tide holdgr of tue €30,000 note and prevent the operation of the lien of the trust. deed, It was the duty of the persons claimiug through Jobnaon to sce that the debt, to sccurs which the truat<iced was given in 16¢ fully paid and discharged.

United States baa been defrauded by the un Inwfal removal of whisky from the distilleries of divers persons at different times, within this district, The petition charges that In all these renio7als, the aletenlan gs In Lhe language of the statutes, “aided andl abetted? ‘Tocacnand all of these charges the defendant makes two defenses: #irat—That hie has been Indicted fn tls court, convict ind punished for the eat Stcond—Tiat for these offe pardoned by the President, an:! of the pardon with his pie. To this answer the piaintif demurs, Judge Miller, sittiag en banc with Judge Dil- lon, who concurred, nald: 2 Indetermining the snficiency of both thees de- fenres, it is necessary to ancertain clearly the nas ture of the offense charce:l fn the tiret indictment, for which the defendant has been punished; for, if It fs the same offense us cefined by Jaw for which ‘he {8 now proseented, and ia also for the same trannactions, our laws forbid (nat he or any one else ahali be twice punished forthe same erime or nilgdemeanor, In the former trial he was {ndicted fora con spiracy to defeand the Government of the United ‘States ont of the taxes due on whe aratilled by the several parties mentioned, and that. In paran+ ‘ance of that conaplracy, other parties than detend- ant, who were his co-conspirators, did anjawfally remove eat whisky. Ut thua appears that the whisky wae actually re- moved; that py this removal the Government war defrauded of its taxes: tal the defendant was one of several persona who conspired together to du thie act, though tt wae not charged {hat he peraon- ally took part in the act uf removal. Tn the prenent case, while he is not charged with a conspiracy by that name, he ia chargerl with aul- ing and abetting thia same removal, and if con ‘vitted will Le punlaned for the same removal. We are all of opinion that his joining the con- spiracy, of which the parpard was to remove this whisky, was aiding snd abetting the removal, which woe eflectett by meana of ibat Conspiracy. How cana manimore eflectuaily aid an unlawful act than by coanseling and advising ila execotion and wlving bie influence to ite sunport.and the bent en- ergi¢e of hin mind to deviso the safest ani eureet Means for it* accomplishment? tf threo men agree ‘tocompass the ‘eath of another, and ono of them pute thelr unt parpore intu effect, du not the other two afd nnd abet the murder? And 1s vot euctian agreement also a con- apsracy to murder the victim? We are, therefore, of opinion that If the specific acta of removal on which this suit 1 Uronght are the seme which were proved In the indictment, the former Judgment and conviction ten bar tothe present action; and weare aleo uf opinion that the allegations of the nnewer are enfitcient avermente that theyare the anme, If the conneel for the United States thinks they are not the same. ne can take taaue on that pica and have the tsaue tried, Little need be satd about the plea of pardon, be- cause if the indictinent anid sentence of Melee were for the same offenses, both in law and in fact, for which thle action i¢ brought, it fs conceded that the pardon fe also var to the civilscit. Tf itis not conceded, wo lave no donbt thatitingo, As it stands fn connection with tha avermonta of the anewer, we bold it to be a good pica, Whether st would be a good bur to an action for acts not included in that prosecution and of the eame Character, we need not now accide, though t have personally a etronp tinpression that it would, ‘The demurrer is overruled, ————————— CHICAGO BEATS THE WORLD. A Preserved Mest Hanquet. The Great Western Conserving: Company of Chicago opencd samples of thelr preserved meats at the Tivoll Garden supper-room Mon- day last, for the examination of the Board of Trade, The leading business men of Chicago were present and partook of the gencrous re- past with a keen sense of relish. Tho menu consisted of beef boiled, roast, corned, sausage, kidneys, tongucs, poultry, and soups, the latter being served in seven yurletics. Most of the coursea were served hot in ten minutes after the Opening of tho cans. Mr. Buxbaum, the rental and enterprising Superintendent of the reat Western Couserving Company, demon- strated conclusively their rpecial adaptability to the superior fare found at the tables of our palace dining-cars, river, lake, and ocean stean- era, hotels, restaurants, and families.

It proved succesful. Others since have opened, one after another, until the cauning of meats 1s now asauniug large proportions, and bids fair at no distant day to auiportele the old “curing " process of packing beef. Tho meat is freed from bone and cooked elftcr before or after canning, and althouh it can be preserved for any reasonable length of time by the pro- cess, {t’bas heretofore been rated at mich leasin valuo than good fresl becf, as the method of cooking and expelling the alr destroyed its flayor and wasted nearly all Its juices, leaving ft dry and insipid and nearly oa low In {ntringfc value as the old “cured micat, and it had become the opinion of those most conversant with tho art that tho rich flavors and juices of prime beef could not bo saved or retafned In canning, and all the packers of canned meats as o consequence have been uslag alow grade for that purpose. But Chicago en- terprisc and perscyerance lias at Jast conquered this apparent Impossibility, and a company has becn already formed and commenced operations at OS West Washington strect, under tho name althe Great Western Conserving Company, L.
