number in an adjoining county. The head
quarters were al Beacham's, in Larue county.
where large amount of spurious money was
found They are said TO number thirty or forty
in Larue, and the gang extend as far as Nash
vile. They are part Of Murrell's band.

This work contains the best productions of Eng

on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities I'm

notes Of American DECISIONS the latter claim un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but will reprint the standard
British law books fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions Of the works
Of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia-shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
