FUNDS LODGED WITH THE cLLkK OF THE COURT OF
APPEALS.
A remarkable development was made In the House,
Yesterday in report from the Clerk OF the Court OF
Appeals on n resolution Introduced by Mr. Palmer OF
Duchess calling on that officer TO report on Toe con
dion of the funds nrusted 10 him since the establish
ment of the office in lri6 by this report II appears
that large amount Of such funds have been lreVoc'
ably lost by something worse than the mere
Of that officer in the past
For example, there are two cases embracing some
thousands Of dollars, where party having purchaser
lot Of tax lands the tors OF the mountains OF Ulster
and Delaware for few cents per acre mortgaged the
same a brother inaw or some one else iof several
thousand dollars and he in turn assigns the mortgage
to the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, who, with an
easy virtue takes the without certificate oil search
or value As consequence, when TIE interest ana
principal OF said mortgage Is called Tor there IS no re
sponse and, upon foreclosure tterc is no purchaser
but the said Clerk who buys II all In for nominal sum-
and even then finds that the title Is good for nothing
and the whole amount is entire loss 10 the Wiao"S
and orphans interested, or 10 the state.
The revelations are. indeed, sickening. Where is
the Court itself that II should know nothing OF what Is
Transporting in the Office Of its clerk trust the report
will be ventilated by the Legislature. and that steps
will be taken 10 prevent the criminal waste Of these
funds in the future Observe these charges do not lie
at the door Of the present clerk, nor am assured OF
the last one may add, there is case where the
mortgage is accompanied by policy OF insurance on
the buildings upon the premises for better security OF
course. whore there never was any Kind oil building
on the premises
