| IMPORTANT DEcIsIoS.-An important decision
was rendered in the Montgomery Circuit Court
yesterday. st Charlottesville. by Judge Cowan,
IN the case of the State VS.. Montgomery county.
The suit was brought by the State 10 compel
the citizens of the county to make good the
money taken by Schooler, their defsulting
Treasurer, several years ago. The State, in her
line or prosecution, held that Schroeder, as Treas
urer, was acting merely as the agent of the peo-
pie, and that the fact that they had once paid
|
liability 10 the State Tor the amount taken by
him. In other words, they hold that the count
is liable to the State for the full amount Of tsxe-
due, and tha. the dishonesty of Schooler, who
was acting as their agent, did not affect this
| liability any more tnan the dishonesty of an
agent of individuals would affect their liabilities
one to another. Judge Cewsn decided tha, the
Treasurer was not the agent of the county to the
extent OF making il liable for his defalcations.
The case goes to the Supreme Court
Tue Importance of the interests involved in
this case render il one of especial interest, and
the decision OF the Supreme Court in the premi
will be snxously awaited Lafayette Cou
