Set Back for Breckinridge.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Judge Bradley overruled the motion made by counsel for Colonel William C. P. Breckinridge to file a bill of exceptions by virtue of which the suit of Miss Madeline Pollard against him might be carried to a higher court on appeal. This action was taken because of the objection made by counsel for Miss Pollard that Mr. Breckinridge had not complied with the law requiring that the bill of exceptions be furnished to them within three days, Sundays excluded, before the expiration of the time within which the motion to file had been made. The effect of this apparently will be to prevent an appeal being taken.
