NV YoRK, June /, 1927
Sir Upon mature deliberation, we are of OPT
Mon, that trial of the cause OF Kelly ads James
Jackson ex. dem. Fowler and others before Mir
As'or, or those Claiming under hin, shall have &C.
copied the terms of the Act of April 10, 1927, or
manifested in some formal manner, their refusal to
accept the same, would be proceeding not con.
sis;eni with the fair meaning and spirit OF than Act
and not comfortable to the Just expectations of
the Legislature. Indeed it appears 10 US 10 be
questionable, whether MIR. A.tor, or those claiming
under him, by proceeding trial in this suit or 10
judgment withou, trial, would be consideIe ed as
having disqualified themselves to comply with the
conditions oil the act. IL our judgment, therefore,
tTV
the same, the case ought not 10 be defended by
the Attorney General, or those who represent IN.
Stale.
We are, &c. your obedieht servants.
