Tnr RurusLicAN NEWSPAPER IN CHAN- CERY.—Equity Court.—Justice Wylie at cham- bere, yesterday morning heard the arguments Upon the prayer of Simon P. Hanscom, editor of the National Republican, who asked that an anjuncticn might be issued restraining Wm. J. Murtagh Geo. M, Weston from exerciwing authority in said Republican office. The case presenta some legal points of interest to the newspaper fraternity. The particulars set forth are as follows: APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF INJUNCTION, On Saturday last, Mr. Haoscom, throngh his attorney. J. H. Bracley, Sr, made application for a writ of injunction, and the biilot com plsiut recites that on tae th of January, i833, the petitioner purchased of Geo. M. Weston, with the knowiedge and consent of the part. ners of the latter, an undivided third pirt of the stock, proper'y and eff-cts and interests of Ue printing and publication establishm at of National Repabtican. Since that time be avers he has purchased another third pari, and is therefore now atwo-thirdowner Wa. J. Murtegh is admitted to be the owner of the otber third part, und the business has been car- Tied on under the name and firm of William J. Murtagh& Co. The complainant turther avers that the said Murtagh without consaltation with him, with iutent to injare, harrass and oppress the complainant, made aa assignment on March 15th, 1864, to George M. Westoa of tbe whole of the property, effects and business of said copartnership; that being advised of this fact the complaimant addressed a letter to Murtagh, which is as follows: WASHINGTON, March 17, 1864. W. J. Murtagh—Sir: | have received copies of the transaction between yourself and Mr. Weston respecting the trauster of the property of the National Republican, and have taken tne advice of counsel 4s to my rizhts and interests, and how far they are atiecied by the transac- tion. lam advised, and shall act upon it, to regard those papers and treat them as nulll- tes. Butasitis evident you desire to get rid of the responsibilities of the paper, I propose to buy out your interest on the foltowing terms: An account shajl be taken by a proper person of the condition of cur copartnership to the date of its diseolution, and it shall be referred to two fit persons, one to be chosen by each of us, with power to them to choose a third, who sbail fix the price and terms on which I shall take your interest in the firm. 2d. 1 will give you satietactory security to pay you the price on the terms so fixed, and to incemnity you from all logs by reason of our copartnership. 3a. The copartnership shall be closed on the day you seseni (6 iis proposition and I give the security. Firally, if this 1s not accepted, I shall adver- tise & disso! ation of our copartnershipand take cbarsge of the business a3 having the majority in interest. I respectfally request an answer to this be- fore 12 o’clock to-morrow. Yours, &c,&c. S. P. Hansvom. The bill of complaint then continues, and Avers that on the itih of March compiainaut published a notice of diseolurion, he not having received an answer to hie letter. [The notice is as follows: Coparinership Dissolved.—_The copartnership heretofore existing between William J. Mar- tagh and 8. P. Hapscom is hereby dissvl ved. S. P. Hanscom will hereafter conduct the paper and be responsible for ali its obligations. Waebington, March 13, 1864 } The complaivant then says that shortly after- wards he raw Geo. M Weston sitting in the business Office of the Hepublican, and was in- formed before the second edition was issued thet esid Weston or said Murtagh had exhib. ited (withoutthe knowledge of complainant) to the foreman and engiveer of the office the assignment above referred to; although they well kvew this complainant in express terms denied the authority of said Murtagh to make euch conveyance, and that the complainant claimed the same to be nulland void, and that he denied the right of said Weston to interfere in apy manver with sald premises; aud the said Weston and Murtagh csused the follow- ing notice tn be inserted in the second edition of the peper of that day: “THE NaTIONAL REPUBLICAN.—The proper- ty, gocd will, and subscription list of the Na~ ticnal Republican, together with all debts due to the establishment, were transferred, on the 15tb instant, to Geo. M. Weston, who assumes the payment of all debts due from it, and who will, until further notice, continue the publi. cation of the puper. Wm. J. MorracH & Co. ‘WASHINGTON, March 18, iSd4. “Mr. Weston will, atan early day, annonnce the arrangements under which the pablicauon of the National Republican isto be continued, mervely remarging, tor the preeent, trat so long as he is connected with if the p-per wiiladyo- cate the same political principies as those with which be has been heretotore editoriglly iden- fied at this capiial, and which, in their adap- tion to existing exigencits,may be summed up in the expression of the faith that in a new sence, not anticipated by Mr. Webster, Liberty and Union are one and inseparable, now and forever.” The said Weston then assumed control over said paper and tie business connected with it, and interfered with its publication Tne com- piainant tortber says that he is advised that tbe action of the raid Murtagh worked a disso- lution of the copartnership, and fully entitled the complainant to close the business as the largest owner, and he holds himself ready to give ample cecurity to the ssid Murtagh for the pay mentof bis one third interest of the property ard profits of srid copartuership. Atl the actions and doings of said Murtagh and Weston are claimed to be against equity and good con- science, and tend to the manifest wrong and oppression of the compiainart, and to the end that full justice may be done him, an injanction is prayed restraining the said Murtagh and Weston from intruding into the premises of the taid Republican office and trom interfering with the property, €flects or affairs of that paper, until further order of the Court. To the above statement Mr Hanscom made oath cn the 19th instant, and Chief Justice Cartter issued an order that notice be given to defendants to show cause on Monday morning why the injunction should not be granted. ANSWER SO THE BILL OF COMPLAINT. The notice was duly issued, and 12 o’clock Monday was fixed for the hearinz; but it was postponed vntil Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, when Mr. Wm. J. Murtagh, one of the defend- ants, filed en answer td the bill of complaint. and averred that the tact of the purchase of the share of Mr. Clephane by Hanscom, on Jan- uary 8, was correct; but avers ulso that said purchase was subject to the debts of said co- partnership. The answer further states that the said estab- lishment prior to said purchase was the prop- erty of defendant, and of said Weston and Lewis Clephane, and that each of them owned an undivided third part. It is not trae, as al- leged, that the complxinant subsequently pur- chased one other third part of said establish- ment; nor that at the filing of the bili he was the owner of two-thirds thereof.

The affidavit of Mr. Clephane is dated March 2ist, 1864, and certi- fits that when Dr. Hanscom applied to him on Janvary 2th, for his thirdinterrst, he declined to sell except to bim (H.) and Muriagh jointly, uplers the jayter consented otherwise. Ar- rangements having been made for the purchase by both Hanscom and Murtagh, deponeat on the 2bth cay of January last, met atthe Rr- publican office, with Martagh, Hanscom, Ward H. Lamon, Robert Lamon and Leouard sweat, and stated his price to be $2,000, aad it was psid him; $1,000 by the bank check of Ward H. Lumon snd $1,000 by the joint note of said Sweat and the two Lamons. The deponent pera) made the written conveyance to obert Lamon, by direction of Ward H. Lamon and said Sweat. It was then and there ex- preesly upaerstood and agreed by al! parties tbat the eale was for the benefit of said Mur- tah and said Hanscom, who were to have the right to bave the deponent’s third interest cone veyed ‘o them by Robert Lamon, whenever they paid the $2,000 paid forit. AM the partiss were iniormed by deponent and understood that deponent would not sell his interest with. out ithe congent of his partners, said Murtagh and said Hanscom alone, for the benefit of Hanscom alone, without the consent of Mur- tagh. And deponent then and there ander- stood that raid Murtagh assented: to the sale only because it was agreed that ho should bave, with said Hanscom, the right to repur- chase deponent’s interest conveyed to Robert Lamcn.)} The respondent then eays that after he was informed of the frandulent procurement of that assignment, and was satisfied he could no tonger repore confidence in the compiainant, and apprehending that his purpose was to ob- tain the exclurive control of the said establish- ment, and being desirous to protect tne interest therein, as well of himeelt as creditors, ex- ecuted on the 16th of March, 1861, to said Wes- ton a pledge or trausfer of the property, busi- ness and eflects of suid copartuership. At the time of said execution, the copartgership was, aid still is, indebted to this respondent in the eum of $7,445, and the complainant was indebted tosaid copartnership in the sum ot $522, and was and now is in-olvent.

The respondent then avers in his answer that the transier above was executed in good faith and tor the purposesnamed. Respondent fur- tber ayers that he was the managing partner oi the concerp, controlled the finances and Taired monvy it his discretion, by pledge or otherwist, for the payment of debts and for carrying on the businese, while the complain. aut gave hie atiention to the editorial depart- ment. Reepondent avers that he was advised by counsel, that be was authorized to make suid pledge or transter, and he believes that in view of their partnersnip relations he was so autborized. epondent acknowledges the receipt o! the letter of comp innes proposing to close up the partnership, but he believed the complainant proposed to take exclusive con- trol of the business, property and effects of said establishment, and involved the surrender 0: respondent’s lien for aa vanceg to and interest in the concern, besides subjecting the respon- dent, who is the solvent partner to the demands oi creditcre, amounting at least $1,500, impos- ing upon him the dela: nd expense of liuga- ould fail to carry out faithfully bis stipulations; and this tended only to confirm the suspicions of respondent as to the real design of complainant. Respondent admits that he did not answer the letter of complainant, and admits algo the publication 0! notices above referred to in the Republican, butihe sanewer avers that all acts of control exercised by Weston over the paper were in consequence of a conviction that respondent had authority to make the agreement referred to above Respondent avows himself willing to dissolve the partnership with Hanscom, but he holds that he is the proper persen to settle up the affuire of the coi.cern. He denies that the complainant is entitled to the custody and controi of the business or that he (respond-nt) could be deprived of his equitable jien, und he prays if the Court’s of the opinion that the ar- ranyement with Weston was void,. that the Court wil) appoint a receiver to settle up the affairs of the concern, and dispose of the prop- erty. &c., as early as possible, having regard, however, for public considerations, to the com- Pieticn of the publication of the tax advertise. ment of the city of Washington, which will be completed on the 4th day of May next. The above answer was sworn to March 22, avd on the same day Judge Wylie partially investigated the case, Aad a further postpone- ment was h§d until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock; but an order was first issued pronibit- ing ¢ither party from taking possession of the piemises to the exclusion of the other. HEARING OF THE CAS#. Yesterday morning the case was sgaiv taken vy, Mr. J, H. Bradiey, Sr., appearing tor Mr. Hynscom. and Messrs. Davidge and T. JS. v. Fuller tor Murtagh and Weston. Mr. Fuliersraid-he appeared to protect Mr. Weston’s rights, and he supposed the Court would look entirely to the legal rights of the yarties. Mr Weston appeared here as mort- earee of all the effects, and be represented atl the creditors upon the advance of $3,000, aud he was responsible fcr all its debts Weston, therefore, stauds bere representing HI the cred~ fiors, bud he is obliged at a specified time te cenvey buck the property !o Murtagh & Go., either 82 partnrls or tenants in common. The right of one partner to sel} his interest Mr. Faller did not suppose was a dispated point and he has aleo & right toput an end to the prtrership whenever he see: fit. Mr. Muriagh therefore bad a clesr right to. putac end to parnership.. For the purpose of securing the creditors he.bad made the transfer, acd ne “had a clerr right to execute a valid mortgize upon ai) the effects of the firm; and ia doing so he by no means encroached upon the rights of hig <c-prrtner.

Mr. H. had a right to redeem the morigage, and’ the amount would.have gone to his credit, Bue it was evident the parties could not get along harmoniously, and tnerefore something ough to be done atonce Mr. Davidge had facts eg tigures which he would bring to bear upon the cage at ie pee time. He saw ascheme of the partof Hanscom to possess himesif of allot this concern. An incolvent, who owed tne cone, cern Over $300, wes endeavoring to exclude & solvent pariner who was credited with #5,000." Mr. Fuller, Mr. Davidge argued, had estat. lished the law as to tha mortgage, and nady clearly shown that Murtagh had a rightto give. the merigage to Mr. Weston. The prayer o the compidinant was not to put Weston oft? merely, but to prevent one of the proprietors? from interfering with the property or business of the office. But a:suming the mortgace to b>, void, then the parties are either partaers or iepants in common. The duty of the Conrt, he then believed, was, if they could not get along as partners or tenants iu common, to appoint @ receiver and baye the affairs of the concern properly wound up. Mr. Davidge would there- tore submit that Mr. Murtagh was entitied to Make A mortgage, and it wasa lien, not fora pri-+ vate purpose, or beyond the scheme of partner-4 stip, but tor a@ germane purpose, 2d. If Mr. Hanecom is solvent, as it is claimed he is, ha has oniy to redeem the mortgage. Mr. Hanscom * was indebted to the concern, as the books, which were kept under the eye of both partigs, : would fully show. Mr. Davidege further argued to show that Mr Muriagh had aright to make the mortgag», or tven if he bad no: a right, and the morige was void, the injunction should not work against him, a partner. Mr. Bradley, in reply, said the bill of com- Pleint was drawn with reference to the fact that Mr. Hanscom was a iwo third owner and Mr. Murtagh merely 2 one-third owner, aad that the latter with intent to harrass. and disturb the complainant had made an assiza- ment. Mr. Bradley then proceeded to sta‘e the © subject matter of the bill of complaiman!, and held that Mr. Hanscom was a two-third owner; for Mr. Murtagh’s answer did not posively deny the fact, bu: was argummmatre 16 show reatons why itcould not beso. Mr. Muttagh goes to an old partner anu makes an assignment to him so that they can have control—ho-h well knowing that Mr. Hanscom protested nzgaia-t the assignment. Mr. Bradley was prepared to admit that in some cases one partner could as- sign the effects of a partnership concera, as where one partner was absent from the coum try, but it could not be done when the partner WES Present and made an objection; aud im support of this Mr. B. read numerous author!- ties. Mr. Bradjey aleo argued that the allegation that Hanscom wee insolvent was preposterous in view of the jact that he held a two-thirds interest in a concern for which Weston was willing t. advance $5,000 apd also assume tha | responsibility forthe additional indebtedue sy of the concern DECISION OF JUDGE WY Lun. .
