About eighl yeara ago Wilfred Eames and other members of the Eames family began suit against the estáte of Eiijah W. Morgan, claiining a larare Sum j as a result of business transactions of their father with Morgan. The trustees of thees LucyW. S. Morgan w.er parties to th:s suit, on the groui ds ïïati Mr Morgan had transfèrred property to his wife for the purpose of ay'oiding his , and that that propetty should be held for their claim. George Lant of Indianapolis, Ind., a relative of Eames was interested 'in the suit, and lias fumished mast of the means for continuing the case The case has bitterly fought from court to court in Xew Vork state, and although the defendants have used every póssible means to basten matters. it has taken eight years'of work to bringitto the Court of Appeals of Xew York. Fin aiïy it reached there, and was argued before that body about a month ago. That court handed down itsdecisien on Tuesday last, reafllnning thedecisionof the eourts below, all of which have sustained the contention of the Morgan estáte. This decisión is ftnal, and puts an end to the litigation. It carries with it costs against the contestants, and by the time théy are paid the easewill have cost many thousands of dollars to each party. It was an exceed difficult action to Bght. The principáis on one side being dead, and others having to meet the allegations secondhanded, it was hard work to'coinbal their statements, H has tied up the ilorgan estáte and prevented a settlementand distribution, besides putting them to great expense. This ends all litigation except a small judgment of S5?000 held by Lant against the estáte of Eiijah V. Morgan, but this can be settled any time. The omnibus that was made upon all property in this city which had passed through the Morgán's liands is out of the way, and more péople than the principáis will be glad that it is all over.
