The plaintiff brought suits on several contracts, made with him by the late board of public works, for doing various parts of public works In the District, claiming about $290,010, The case was, by order of the court. sent toa special auditor. On the coming in of the report each party took exceptions. The case was finally set for trial on these exceptions, on the 16th of July, 1878, and at: the request of defer dant, continued to the 10th of September. That day, on report that a juror was detained by_ sickness in his family, the court excused lim, and next day it discharged another «wa porte. These places were filled by order of the court, and the jury sworn, the defendant de- clining to take any part in this changeof jury. Op hearing the motion to dismiss the plaintiff's exceptions, the court sustained it in part, which struck Gut’ the most of the plaintiff's case. It also refu-ed to permit him to amend them It then overruled the plaintiff's motion to with- draw and continue, although the defendant agreed to the motion. Subsequently it set aside its order sustaining said motion in part, and allowed the amendinent, and overruled the de- fena ‘3 motion to continue, made in conse- quence of this amendment. For reasons set forth in the affidavits of the defendant’s attor- neys, the counsel prepared, and with the par- Ges signed the stipulation to set aside any order or judgment which the court mene Take in the Care, if it should disaliow the above app! tien of the plaintiff to continue the case and compel the trialto proceed. This stipulation was calied for and read; the court ordered tt to be filed: tined the counsel and Commissioners, apd ordered the trial to proceed. Thereupon one of the plaintiff's counsel and the attor- neys for the defendant withdrew from the trial, which went on for several days, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff of over $13,000. The only action pending said further. proceeding. taken by the attorneys for the defendant, ta court, was to except to the charge of the court to the jury, and spbmit motions for new trial and in arres JULGE HUMPHREY!

So appa- rent was this, that after a short consultation it was determined by counsel on both sides that under no circumstances would they submit the case to trial before him; that he was absent trom the session of the court on the 12th, and, on his return to the city on the 13th, Mr. Riddle Informed him that he had agreed with the counsel for plaintiff to have a coufereace with Justices Wylie and MacArthur, bat that Jud Wylie was sick. “At the appointed time Mr, Riddle and I met Messrs. ‘Totten and Cook consultation room and stated ou rassmenis to Judge MacArthur.

Gen. Butler, on the opening of the court this morning, moved that under the rutes the de- fence should elect to take up the exceptions or ions, one or the other, and he movea to strike out all motions tiled prior to the signing Of the bill of exceptions, and all statements in regard to the conauct of the judge. On the lat- ter point he said he would never stand before a court and comment on the conduct of one of ifs members unless he was compelled to do so. There was 4 time and place for such charzes (6 be made. and to the proper tribunat suouid these charges be made, not here. » Chict Justice directed tne argument to proceed tn the ordinary way. Mr. Riddle thereupon read the record, and Mr. Miller proceeded with the argument on tie motion to set aside the ju of fraud. ‘Phe judgment for $ Costs, and the grounds of this motion are thai at the hearing before the aud‘vor and on tb trial the plaintin claimed to be patd for nis work “in lawful money ot the United st and instead of being i cates which he was discoun' reserving to himself the right to collec! ference between the face value and the mar value, and that there was due him on acco! of said loss $10,000, That the court Ja charg! the jury told them plaintiff was entitled to re- cover this difference if he had filed such protest: that the plaintiff swore the paper produced was a true copy, and the defendant claims that this [oe Was not a true copy, but one which had ‘nh inaterially altered. Mr. Miller, in commenting on this point, re- marked that the important Words as to “lawful money” had been inserted, and he produced a paper, in which the protest seems to be as Seelney the allowances of the board of audit, which he claimed was a true one. Mr. Cook called attention to the endox ement of the board on the paper; that he he in:ended to hold them responsible for the full amount. Mr. Miller, In referring to the stipulation, sald there was no contempt. Mr. Carpenter said that they had been guilty of contempt, for they had been tined. M ier remarked that the fines had been wit) and Judge Huraphreys said that that was So, but it was after an apology had been made. Mr. Riddie dented that there had been any apolegy offered, or anything which could be constrted into one; nor would any be offered. ihe hearing Was in progress when our report closed. —_.
