Important Decision.

Important Decision.
We would call the attention Of our read.
ers to the important decision Of the High
Court of Errors and Appeals, published in
,O-dsy's paper, and bespeake for i, careful
and attentive perusal from each and every
one. AS a mere legal decision alone, it re-
fleets great honor and credit upon our high.
est judicial tribunal, but when taken into
consideration with the subject matter under
review, it is a decision which is more impcr>
tant and deeply interesting to the people Of
this State, than any that has ever emanated
from that tribunal. Il settles, and VIC hope
finally, question which has excited and
agiled the community at large for some time
back, and offers just rebuke to those who
have endeavoIed by means Of the technical
tiles Of the law to free themselves from the
obligations Of just and honest debls.-In a
legal point Of view the decision IS unassail.
able. Each point is discussed in clear
and lucid manner, and based upon firm, ac>
knowledged aud lndisputable foundations,
clearly showing that the honorable judges
gave to the subject that laborious iGvestiga.
ton and research which its importance de-
manded. Every proposition advanced is
sustained by law as clear and unquestiona-
BILE as any in the books, and no one whose
mind is not swayed with deepest rooted pre-.
JUDGES, can arise from the perusal Of the
document, without being fully convinced
no. only Of the conslitutionality. but also
of the juVtlce and equity Of The amendments
to the Bliscoe Bill.
Judge Thatcher delivered a dissenting
opinion on The same case, but we do not
consider it as sound and legal document
ss the one delivered by Sbarkey and Clay
toD, nor does it sustain the great judicial
Reputation Of its author. And il our mem.
DRY serves US right, we think the Honorable
Judge has, in this opinion, coniradicted sen.
timeRts and opinions which were advanced
BY him in two prior decisions involving the
same point.
We do moi profess sufficient attainmentl
in the sublime mysteries Of the law to com.
pare the two opinions in legal point Of
view, but it is an easy matter TO determine
which carries with it the most Of justice and
equity.
We understand that many interested per
sons, dissatisfied with the decision of the
High Courl, will endeavor 10 have the amend
menis TO the Briscoe Bill repealed at The
present session Of the Legislature, but w
have too high an opinion Of the sense o
equity and justice which pervades that bod
that such measure will ever be allowed II
pass.
p. S Since writing the above, VIC hav'
received the following intelligence from
Jackson:
The vote on Saturday evening last, onth'
repeal Of the Quo WaIranto Law, (knOwI
, as the Briscoe Billy with Guion's amend
ment, was AZ 10 favor Of the repeal Of lh
law as it now stands, TO 4s against the Re
peal, and on the question Of rePealini
Guion's amendment to the original BriseO
Bill, the vote was SO for the repeal, 10 s.
against it.
