SPECIAL COURT.

Yesterday, the important appellate case
between the Comm, nwealth and John Pres
ton. late Treasurer, and his securities was
decided by the Special Court-Judge Roane
pronounced the opinion of the Court at some
length-reversing the decision OF the Gene
raj Court as to the adn disability of the au-
thenticated copy of John Preston's deed OF
trust and of course deciding that The u. Z.
ought TO have admitted it in evidence-re'
yersing also the opinion OF the u. Z. as 70
the conclusiveness of the Treasury Books !;
deciding, contrary TO the opinion OF that
court, tina, they were conclusive IN them
selves and that Preston and his securities
for 1919 were bound to make good whatever
monies appeared, on the face Of those books 70
be in the Treasury, in January. 1919; aud
that no other evidence was admissible 10
proye that the defalcation had occurred IN
auy prior year-Other points were embrac'
ed by the opinion, which we have not room
TO sketch. I'VE shall give more perfect
account of them hereafter The Court,
consisting of SIX judg were unanimous
with the exception of Judge White, who
tisseuted from his brethren, as to the con-
clu,iyeness of the Treasury books.-IhIs o.

RISE 1t is now much above its ordinary
maximum, and its rise still continues, inso-
