In reference to the cases which have for seF-
era1 days been before James B. Bradwell, Esq,
Judge Of the County Court Of Cook county,
and uron which he yesterday gave Ills uecla-
ion, We present the following abstract:
On the 11th Of July Mr. c. B. Far1ell tender
ed to the County Treasurer, gold to the amount
Of $50 in payment Of State taxes, and Treas
ury notes to the value Of $40 for county and
town taxes- The Treasurer declined to re-
ceire the latter, and had brought an action
to recover the amount due.
The Hon. Joseph Knox, States Attorney,
appeared on behalf Of the Treasurer, and in
asking for Judgment, stated that his opinion
Of the law was, that the United States treas.
u1J notes we're legal tender for county aud
town tayes. He did not think they could be
nsed in payment of State taxes, because the
Law Of the State stipulated that they should
be paid in gold He had advised Sfr. Keeley
to receive the taxes in the manner in which
they had been rendered.
Mr.. Kceley stated that he was desfrous Of
doing SO, but first wantyd the Judgment of the
Court on the question.
The opinion of the judge wss expressed at
great length, and numerous authorities were
cited BY him. The opinion was similar to that
given by counsel for the treasurer, and, as a
consequence, the decision Of the court was,
that "the tender in this case, being legal,
judgment is refused against the lands and lots
described in the objections Of said Farweil."
Some other parties had objected to the pay-
ment Of taxes on ordinary and technical
grounds, and Mr. E. a. Rucker (~ho appeared
fer Ar. H. L. Rucker] objected.
1. That the so.caIled delinguent's lists were
not III substance and In forlu, as required by
| law.
| 2. That no legal advertisement of the list of
| delrquents' lands or town lots had been pub
| l1sbed.
5. That no sufficient OF legal certificate OF
the due publication Of the advertisement Of
| di1inquens'6 lists had been filed BY the col
1ector, Rith the clerk Of this court.
| 4. That the said alleged taxes. seyerally OF
| otherwise, fer the amount Of which Judgment
is Low here prayed to be entered, were noE,
| and We are not authorized by lAw to be levied
