Recent Legal Decisions.
SaeriNe—DELAY TO
FrREIGHT—"PERILS OF THE SEA."—
A. & Co. owned a cargo of barley in
France, and shipped it by B, & Co.'s
schooner to London, and the bill of
lading provided for save delivery,
“the perils of the sea’ excepted. The
vessel, in sailing up the Thames, col-
lided with a steamship and was sunk ;
the collision resulted from the schomn-
er's helm being put to starboard, but
not from any negligence on her part,
and there was no finding whether or
not the steamship was at fault. An
action was brought for the less of
the barley, and the plaintiffs recovered,
on the ground that the collision Was
one of ‘‘the perils of the sea.” An
appeal was taken to the Court of Ap-
peal, where the judgment in the case—
Woodly vs, Michell—was given in favcr
of the defendants. Brett, L. J. inthe
judgment, said: “In a case like this
it was only necessary for the plaintiffs
to prove non-delivery of the cargo, ard
the defendants could only answer 'n
one way—shewing that this non-deliver y
was caused by something excepted in

INJUNCTIONS DAMAGES= APPEAL,
— Certain person, who composed the
“Branch Pilots’ ** Association of New
Orleans, got an injunction to restrain
one of its members from piloting ves-
sels in or out of that pert independently
of the association, and from violating
his obligations as a wember whilst a
suit against him to compel him to per-
form his duties was pending. Ths
preliminary injunction was dissolv.d
on the motion of the defendant, it aj-
pearing, by the complaint in the case
Leirne vs. Michell—in the course of the
defendant, if persisted in, would cause
the association an irreparable injury,
exceeding the sum of $2000. An ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme Court
of Louisiana, where the dissolution of
the injunction was sustained. Judge
Poche, in the opinion, said ; **It strikes
us that, tested by the allegations of the
complaint, the damages suffered by the
plaintiffs can be m.asured in money,
and are therefore not irreparable, and
an injunction cannot be sustained
where a compensation in money will
be sufficient. By the very Means of
observation through which plain.
tiffs have detected and are able to
enumerate the acts of defendant in
boarding vessels and piloting them
they are afforded an efficient mode of
computing the damages which defen-
dant will cause to the association pend-
ing the litigation which will finally
adjust the conflicting claims of all
parties to the suit. Plaintiffs’ counsel
bitterly denounces the jurisprudenc
which has so signally misconstrued a
provision of law, and thus enables an
enjoined defendant, by means of an
insignificant bond of $500, to continue
in the performance of his illegal acts,
thus ‘provisionally chastising crime
and wrong.' Inadvancing these views,
nd in advocating a construction under
which a defendant, in fsuch an}injunc-
tion, would be deprived of the right of |
dissolving the same on a bond, counsel |
nishing an insignificant bond of $500,
these plaintiffs have suddenly, without
warning, and for an indefinite time,
paralyzed and checked the defendant
from the pursuit of a calling useful to
commerce and profitable to himself, in
anticipation of a judgment which may
deny him that right, but which may,
on the other hand maintain him in the
pursuit of that identical business,
Further consideration of the subject
hasled us to the conclusion that our
reasoning in this opinion is thoroughly
supported by a formidable array of
authorities,’

Agricultural,
Sorghum,
Sorghum is rapidly growing in favor
in the West, and this season witnessed
quite a large area devoted to it in this
section, It possesses several advan~
tages other than yielding sugar, as the
fodder from it keeps better than that
from corn, not drying and crumbling so
so readily. The seed is very valuable
aleo, being excellent for poultry as well
as for fattening stock, and the yield on
good soil is very heavy. Altough the
agricultural department has beep ridic-
uled for ita expensive experiments at
making sugar from sorghum, yet it fes-
tered and, encouraged the produc-
tion of sugar with such peristency that
the growing of this plant as a source
from which to procure sugar has been
firmly established in the Northern
States, the final result of which will no
doubt be our independence of Cuba and
other tropical countries for our sugar
supply, not excepting even Louisiana.
During the war the Southern States
grew large crops of sorghum, from
which syrup was made of an excellent
quality, but the art of crystallizing it
was not known at that time ; but with
recent discoveries and improved systems
of crushing and evaporating there is no
longer and difficulty in the way. The

According to of

in sorghum is associated with one-tenth
of its weight of grape sugar (glucose),
and not far from one-fifth its weight

stances. but the cane sugar varies from

and, treated as a fertilizer, returns a
portion of that which was taken from
the soil. It is also used with advan-
tage as fuel where that article is scarce.
Ever the scum and sediment are used
in some manner, no portion of the cane
being wasted.
As yet capital and improved mach-
ery are necessary in making sugar from
sorghum, and the methods of manufac-
ture differ ; but individuals can manu-
facture sirup with but little expense.
The difficulty is in crystallizing the
sugar, for until that takes place the re-
sults isonly sirup. Leaving out sugar,
farmers can easily and cheaply grow
sorghum, either for sirup or fodder,
and, withthe yield of seed, will no doubt
find it as profitable as any other crop
on the farm.— Philadeiphia Record,
