the principles involved
The Convention of 1868 authorized and
directed the Governor to endorse for the
State 81, O00, 900 of the first mortgage
bonds of the W. G. & +. Railroad Co.,
upon the said Company depositing with
the Public Treasurer 500, 900 similar first
mortgage bonds. Subsequently, the Leg
islature Of 1SG0-'7O authorized the Com
pany to deposit 100000 of special tax
bonds in the Treasury of the State, and
take therefrom the $500, 900 first mortgage
bonds formerly deposited.
The plaintiff, the holder Of $4,000 of
said endorsed bonds, CLAIMS that such
transfer Il: IS IN vloa t Of Fl tie tbs state and Of
the Bill of Rights; and, also, under a com
mon principle of equity, as between ordi
nary persons, that the creditor lin this
case the bank of Charlotte,) has n right to
have the said $4,000 first mortgage
bonds kept IN the State treasury as Sc
curity to 1t, in connection with other credi-
tors; and finally, to have it, in case of fail
ure by said railroad, to pay its mortgage
debt, to be subrogated to the right of the
State in said first mortgage bonds.
The department claims Qst) that the
bonds were not deposited for the benefit
of the holders of the endorsed bonds, but
to secure the State; GA that no irrepa-
rable injury can come to the holders of the
H. &ako 10
ereign, cannot fail to comply with all its
obligations, and in no case can be said to
be insolvent (3d) that there is no viola
ton Of tho Constitution of the United
States, of the State, or of the Bill of
Rights.
The cause was heard in chambers, be-
fore Chief Justice Pearson, who decided
in favor of the defendant, and the plaintiff
appealed to the Supreme Court.
