process WAS begun On the day AFTER No 6rvs ipjuns-
ton was granted BY Judge Oakley, in the Supreme
Court The operation Of Mr.. Blant's process 10 10
eonhssate oil The property Of Me Art Union to We
State, on the ground Of ts illegal transactions and
violation Of the constitution and laws daring the
last few years. This process ought to have been
commenced several years ago, when the Art Union
first exhibited it audaeity in violating the laws
by selling tickets for the distribution of prizcs by
lottery.
Whether this injunction Genes in conflict with the
othor one granted by Judge Oakley, time and the
arguments each side will show. The property OF
the Art Union, embraced in either injunction, will
probably amount to over q hundred thousand
dollars. in houses, furniture, paintings, busts ART
bulletins, books and ether trash. The disposition
Of this property is at stake, and the question is
whether tbe original subscribers shall claim their
own, according to their different proportions, or
Of the violation Of the constitution. OF course all
future distribution is broken up and the Institution
is now dead letter Alas, poor Art Upisn!
