Ono of tho parties, Metcalf, owned *1,000 lmius on his own account, which the rebel Gen. llill, at Augusta, turned into the street in a damaged condition. M* tcalf gave a per son named Geo.

The defendants in this case, Carped and Seliloy, also claim that Metcalf sold them 7<>0 bales, owned jointly by themselves ami the two Bealls. This Metcalf denied at first, claiming that he only gave the price that it conld bo bought at at that certain day, for cash, which was 20 cents per pound. Here begins tho in terest in the case.
