important Decision in regard to the Sherry s
popers-- What are Laacful and 'ohat Legal
Means. udge Lowrie, in the District Court at
Pittsburg has given decision that where, an.
der the law, making the County liable for dam
ages arising from riots, and requiring the Sher.
iff to take alllegal means to prevent the injury,
the Sheriff hires, ut great expense, armed MILL
tary companies to aid him, he cannot claim to
be repaid by the County for such expenses
The Sheriff hired several volunteer companies
to protect the rolling mills, which were threat
eued with destruction by mob. The Court
drew distinction between lawful and legal
means, which the Sheriff is authorized under
law to adopt, when riot is threatened. 10
say that the Sheriff was bound to use all lawful
means to prevent the threatened destruction OF
property, is to say that he must use all the
means that are not unlawful ; and this would
include all those physical and moral means,
which might be adopted to the occasion, wheth-
er pointed out by the law or not; means which
are not properly official, and which cannot
reasonably be exacted Of public officers.
When the law requires an officer to take all "le.
gal means" to effect an object; it intends that
he shall take all such means as he may officially
use, and he is not chargeable with neglect Of
duty if he adopts the means prescribed by law
for such occasions, though he omit other plain
physical and moral means. These may be law.
iul because not forbidden but they are not
legal means, because not prescribed by law as
me eans to be used by him in his office. He is
not liable except for neglect Of official duty,
that is, for not using those means which the law
puts into his hands by his official nvestiture,-
At common law the Sheriff has authority to
raise the power of the county, armed if he thinks
proper. He may demand the attendance OF any
number of armed men to aid him in his duty.
When necessary, it is his duty to command and
theirs to obey. But he has no authority to hire
certain military companies for price to do
what they and every man were bound to do, as
matter of public duty. BY this decision the
Sheriff will have to pay $4,000 of his own
money.
