EVANSVILLE, Oct 3d.
Editor Courier:
| notice in the C9swierofthis morn
ing a statement in reference to the
executions which have expired in nv
hands, as Sheriff; and the allowances
made to me and the bailiffs of the
Courts of this county. In these mat
ters you have either been misip-
formed, or yorAdo me an Intentional
injustice. In either case should be
granted reply.
You charge that during my term of
Office exeeutions to the amount of
$48.218 13have expired in my hands.
And you add, How much of this
money has been collected we have no
means of ascertaining, but whether
much or little. 1t is in the hands of
Captain Dsrlingwhen it should have
beensreturned long ago and paid over
to the parties to whom it was DUE
Inzanswer to- This | would state
what every attorney knows, that
large number of executions expire In
my hands by the orders of the attpr-
neysaor plaintiffss@of which, citesthe
following instances L now hold nine
executions in favor of = different
plaintiffs, against Willard Carpenter
and John Love. to the amount. of
$35, 1853 IL covering three -fourthss of
the above sum you named. The de-
PENDANTS have no. property in this
county subject to levy; and, the fol-
lowing order is endorsed upon them:
. The Sheriff will retain these execu-
tons until further orders.
JAMES G.. JONES,
Plaintiffs Attorney"
Again | hold an execution in favor
Of Gillison lMaghee, for 81, 887 AZ, up
on which is the following endorse !
ment: Received, Evansville, June
15ths1S67, from Acknowledging
Sheriff V. County, S4,835 97-100, in |
full of the within u i1j u'dagSPPeMHt, .ourtn
The reason forrpot returning this is
that there was a mutual agreement
between Mr. eGumberts, the Clerk and !
myself: that we would wait !.
On Mr. '5umbertsi. for the cost, {
And ! have many others of the
same character. [ have paid over to
The proper parties all money collected
oy me, for which | have their receipts
upon the executions, unless
It be a few cases collected quite re- I
gently, where the rmouey has not yet
been called for. My books and pa
Ders are open to the inspection of
Yourself or Mr.. Jesse w Walker,
my opponents paid attorney; and 1
y0g, to .proUe the cOntrGrg,
Unit you do So, Your charge amounts
20 nothing whatever. u IF / have fail
ID In any instance to make the money
,n an execution where property could
De found subject to levy, am respon-
'ible under my bond, as every attor-
hey knows. [ defy you to point to
single case of this kind aae+a
La reference to the. long list of
TENS published by you as allowed me
BY the Judges of the Courts, there isl
,nly one. which bears upon its facet
my want of legal authority, and that
8 two allowances of $40 to the Depu- /
y Sheriff. By reference to the order,
# court it appears this was granted to
John Greek, who never was my Dep
lty, but the allowance was for SER
vices rendered for George Wolf1in as
Sheriff; and / here say to.dMr- Jesse
". Walker that unless he was .insti-
,ated bya desire to injure my char
4cter, he would not have charged me
With receiving the same. The allow
noes made during my term in the
Jircuit Court were all by Judge
jarrett, a member Of the. Demo
ratio party, and if any IF them
re illegal, he is equally re-
ponsible. with me for them. In
he Common Pleas Court the allow
noes were made by Judges Pitcher
nd Robinson, and examined and
assed by them. 1t will. / think, be
lfficult for you to convince the peo-
