IMPORTANT DEcIsIoS.-A decision of great import
ance was made by Judge Fulkerson. on Tuesday
last, in Scott county Wa decision which, if
tanned. may lead to extensive litigation. Mr.. Jos.
II. Campbell, as counsel. contended that forth
coming bond, taken some time last fall, was null
and void, inasmuch as the officer who took it
not bona fde offcer-the act of Assembly author
izng the extension of the term of Office of sherifts
being unconstitutional Mr.. c. argued the point at
considerable length and with great ingenuity. The
Judge decidcd the point in Mr.. Cs favor. He held
that by the constitution the term of Office of sheriff
had no authority to extend it a single day that
the holding over by the sheritfs in fact ex-
tension of their term of Office and clearly vi la
ton Of the constitution. lie accordingly ordered
the bond to be set aside. The same decision was
rendered in two other similar cases.
