p.3 Marine - The schooner Anglo Saxon, Capt. Wm. McAvoy, left Detroit for Kingston on Thursday, the 26th instant, at ten o'clock a.m. She went down, discharged a cargo of wheat and was back again on Saturday, the 28th, at six o'clock p.m., thus making the trip in 56 hours, the fastest time on record.
St. John vs Clarkson et al - An action to recover damages from the bondsmen of the defendant, Clarkson. The plaintiff held a mortgage against the vessel Edward S. Blake, and when she was laden at Kingston, preparatory to a trip to England, he issued an execution and had her tied up. Before releasing her, he was given a bond signed by responsible persons that she would return within a certain period. On her failing to do so, however, he brings an action to recover damages occasioned by the extended trip, the vessel afterwards being sold for less than the face of the mortgage. Verdict for plaintiff for $1,848. Tried in Toronto.
