Central Ontario.—Two suits, brought by S. J. Ritchie, of Akron, Ohio, one against the estate of Senator Payne, & the other against Judge Burke, of Cleveland, have reference to C.O.R. bonds of the value of $875,000. The bonds were pledged to the defendants by Mr. Ritchie, who built the road, for advances made. These advances, he claims, have been repaid, & he now seeks to have the defendants declared his trustees for the securities.
