A case has just been decided by our new Su- j potior Couitui considerable interest to mer chants. It was that of Meyer KStuckvn ol .New ! York vs. John Tyler, auctioneer, of Boston.— i Win. Whiting and Edward (J. Parker lor the i | piai otitis; R. Choate, Win. Dehon, and S.J. Thorn as lor the defendant, ll grew out of the j Peverelly arson case in New York. Jt seems , that Pcvere!ly received goods on storage as his . J n ° r \ general business. Sundry hogsheads ol sugar j were thus received from the plaintiffs. The marks on them he erased, and then shipped them to Tyler, to be sold in the name of one R. Say re. On this consignment, T\ K-r, the auc tioneer, advanced, as is usual, about one third the value to the conciguor. The plaintiffs, at- j j ter the discovery ol Pevereilv's attempted burn ping'of his store by the New York police, search j ed for their merchandise, and found it in Tyler's warehouse in Boston—he refusing it up, save on payment of his entir# advances and j payments tvaJe in uerl'ect good faith. Upon t [argument, the Oriel Justice of the Superior; j Court reserved the case fur the consideration of i the Associate Judges of that Court, and they j . ' • . .V. . " ' I to-day entered judgment fur the plaintiffs for : the fol! amount claimed, with, costs, the defen dant tints losing his entire advances. It is un ' derstood (lie judgment went upon the ground , j that Pyvereily, by erasing the marks, termina- , led his '•lawful possession," so as to be unable . i thereafter to give a second consignee a lien for any advances.
