To The Editors of The ENQUIRER.

GENTLEMEN You will be doing an act of
justice 10 the community, by inserting the note be-
low addressed to Creed Taylor, Esq.
JUNIUS
10 Creed Taylor, Esq. Chancellor ofhhe Rich
mond and Lgnch6urg Districts.
beg leave TO call your attention. to the l9Sth
page OF the first volume of the Revised Code OF
1919, where 1t is expressly written that 90 THE
JUDGE OF THE DIsrRIcrs OF RIclIAIoNp AND
LSNcHBURG- SHALL RESIDE AT THE CITY
RICHMOND and to demand OF yol under what
pretence and by what authority YOU dare % violate
this direct command of the Legislative bod OF
Our country !-i GU cannot peau ignorance OF its
existence, for that would be 10 acknowledge your
self unh for the Office hich you hold besides YOU
know full well, and any man who will take the
trouble OF perusng the jour, ais of the Senate may
know, that at the passage of this law an attempt
vas there made 10 amend il after il had passed the
lower house, by Sdding ne words - OR CuHrBER-
LAND" after the word Richmond, and that it was
rejected by large majority thus evidently showing
chat 1t was the positive intention of the legislature
to conhne your place OF residence 10 the % CRY
OF RIcHMoND,' where, and in Petersburg will
he found by far the larger portion of the citizens OF
Your dlsirc and especially, those who may be sup
posed from heir being engaged In mercantile pur-
SUITS, have most business in your In the
very face OF this act you have, with The exception
OF very few months after lis passage, resided on
our hIHi, IN Tie very county In which the lcgis-
la'ure have said, you SHOULD NOT reside, 10 the
manifest injury and inconv enience of a very lar.e
portion Of The citizens of this district and partcu-
larly OF this city. If person in Richmond in
case OF emergency wants an Injunction, he is com
PEELED TO send an express TO Needham where your
honor is engaged in superin tending your Farm and
YOUR L0tU-SchoOi, both of which from the almost
unrenlticd attention you pay TO them are no doubt
very profitable TO yourself; bur have Vet to learn
hai they are so 10 the good people of your districts
or that the Legislature appointed you for such pur-
poses.
QuGre. Were yon TO obey the law by residinp
in this city, Invested OF the Tolls OF A Farm
AND LABoRIoUs ATTENTION TO yoUn
Mort CURT, would not the terms of yonr court
held IN Richmond be much longer than they now
are. Would You al the last June term (which " az
in fact no term) have only tried hose cases which
were laid over from January ter and have failed 10
call single new case2 No. Il is impossible that
1t could have heen so, and had you not have been
hurried 10 Cumberland by your HARVEST, regular
term of the comt would have bee held aud many
poor suitor would have at least a DECISION of Ills
case before you; whether EQUIrY would have
been dealt TO him Is another qpes. ion---Lasi June
court was merely a continuation of January term
OF what use laws, if they are 20 remain as
dead letters upon Statue Book, if or JUDGES
set THEM at nought and thereby the LEG1sIA
rURE at defance' For your own good, hone
you will take this him; otherwise YOU may hear
further from JUNIUS.
