commenced in 1867, by certain
holders of the first mortgage bonds.
as we'll as all suits growing ont of

them for State guaranteed bonds,
at one for three; and the other has
expressed q desire to do so, and

there will be no suit, either in
equity or at law, against the Com.

bond and stockholders to know,
