IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION IN FLORIDA.
The people of Jacksonville having some time
since voted subscription of $4,000 to the
Florida Central Railroad, a motion was last
week made and argued before the Chancery
Court of Duval county, for an injunction to
prevent the corporation of Jacksonville from
taxing the property Of the town, to meet the
navments of tie bonds. A friend from Jack
sonyille informs US that the Chancellor, Judge
Forwood, after prolonged argument, refuses
the Injunction, thus affirming the legality Of the
subscription and the liability Of the corporation.
