Law Report.

The case of Whitehead, Eggleston & Co. vs. John S. Schofield & John J. Paul, on account and attachment which was in process of trial, was submitted to the Jury on Friday of last week, which rendered a verdict of $266.10 for the plaintiff, and “no cause for attachment” for the defendant, J. J. Paul. Defendant, Paul, moved a new trial, which motion was overruled to which defendant excepts and asks sixty days in which to prepare bill of exceptions, preparatory to taking the matter to the Supreme Court.

Edrington vs. Edrington for divorce, was submitted to the Court on Saturday, and the bill of divorcement refused, on the ground of collusion of parties.

On Monday morning the case of O. P. Cobb & Co., of Aurora, Ind., vs. William G. Krutz for money, was called and is at the present writing in process of trial. The difference between the parties amounts to several thousand dollars and is being closely contested, being a case of considerable interest, and will probably be submitted to the Jury sometime this (Thursday) afternoon.

The celebrated Will Case of Humphrey and Bodkin vs. Humphrey, was continued on Monday, on motion of the Defendant. In this case there is pending some two or three hundred thousand dollars, and from the array of counsel and witnesses on either side, one may safely judge that this will be a case of more than usual interest. It is an effort of two of Arthur Humphrey’s heirs at law to set aside his will. The estate of said Humphrey is variously estimated at from two hundred and fifty to five hundred thousand dollars.

It is already evident that the three weeks will not be sufficient to clear the dockets of the cases already at issue.

The Bar is quite full this term, both resident and foreign Attorneys abounding.
