HARTFORD, (Com) Feb, 22.
Important Dedfion in Chancery .
On Thurfday lafl was decided
the important cafe of Lynde vs.
Miller, &c. This was a bill in
chance;y praying for relief a
gainft certain notes given for
Georgia lands. The bill com
plained that the notes were ob
tained by fr ud and milieprelcn
tation. This caufe was fbfl
brought before the fuperior court
in September, 1796, and was
continued from term to term
until the prefent feffion, when
the court gave judgment for the
plaintiff.
This cafe \vas twice argued,
■and it was expeded, from the
! importance of the queflicn to
j he decided, that the talents of
| the gentlemen of the bar l © whole
management it was in Liu bed
would be called forth, ard in
j this refped the public have not
1 been difappointed. 1 he conn
| fel on loth ficcs have diflin
iguifhed thcmfelves through the
I . O
! whole of this caufe by their very
able management; but we think
it will not be doing inju(lice to
either of the other gentlemen
concerned, to fay, that Mr. P.
• j *
| Edwards, who was conn fel for
the plaintiff, made a aifplay of
learning and eloquence never
furpafled in this ffaie.
i he dedfion is of great im
portance in its confequcnces, as
the principle fettled involves
propei ty to the amount cf moie
than 250,000 dollars.
