A case of some importance, we understand was, at the late session ofthe Washin 'ton Circuit Court determined, which turned upon the liability of FcrmnsMi for losses in the transportation of persons and prviperty across water courses. As it is a novel case, and one which has not frequently occured in our Courts, we make a brief statement of it for the iutormation of our leaders, viewing it as important, that every man should know enough ofthe law, if no't to practice it, at least to keep clear
