IMPORTANT JUDICIAL DECISION.

FROM TIE SATcHEz COURIER OF DECEMBER 81.
We understand that the High Court of Errors and APP
peals has just made decision which virtually sets at rest
the question of the legality of the Planters Bank bonds
An act passed by the Legislature, March 4, 1848,
appropratng to the payment of the coupons for interest
the bonds issued by the State of the Plan
ers Bank according to their priority the sinking fund
then in the State Treasury and which might thereafter
come into the Treasury.
mandamus applied for, some two years ago, be-
fore the Circuit Court of Warren county to compel the
State Treasurer to pay such coupon for interest That
Court refused the application, and appeal to the High
Court the latter body decided that the Treasurer
authorized to pay the coupon without the Auditors
warrant.
A second mandamus in the mean time applied for
before the Circuit Court of Kinds county, compel the
Auditor to issue his warrant to the Treasurer for the
amount Of the coupon, which application granted
The Auditor appealed to the High Court and this tribunal
decides that the AUDITOR shall has pa7ant for the
coupons Of that attached 10 tie bond and falling
due March l. lS4l that oil coupons of that date, out
standing and unpaid shall have privilege of payment
over those due September l, 1841.
The judgment of the High Court is, we understand,
6nal and the Auditor obliged presentation of
tilted copy Of it and the bonds issue his warrants for
the coupons of interest due March l. 1S4 These cou
pons amount to $4,000 The State is using this
sinking fund to pay its governmental expenses The
principle Of this decision We should suppose viii also
compel the payment Of the September, 1884, coupons,
after those of March are paid.
The decision has its greatest interest in the fact that
it settles, by solemn decision Of highest court the
legality and consttuonaty of these bonds Had they
been constitutionsy issued and legally binding on
plcation.
The first half million Of these bonds have no coupons
attached The decision therefore, only applies to the in
terest the last issued million and half

FRAUD on THE PENSION OFFICE.

At the late session of the United States District Court
Hartford Thomas Lawson, Of New York. rather of
Brooklyn, tried upon two indictments, charging him
with fraud upon the pension Office Of this State He
found guilty, and sentenced to years Imprisonment
on each Indictment The sentence may be regarded as
severe; but three other indictments had been proved
against him for similar offences and the evidence in these
regarded entirely conclusive Ii is probable that
these indictments will be dismissed.
As we understand the matter, application made
