obliged to buy it in to save myself. This prop
erty was advertised Seven times. Five times
by Mr.. Geo. W. Brush who sold it to satisfy
mortgage held by his sister, who was obliged
to bid it in. This sale was set aside by consent
and the property re-sold by Mr.. Brush and my
SELF At this sale there was no bidder but Mrs
Abrahams. had promised Mr.. Brush that
if he would consent to resale OF the property
| would see that it brought sufficient to pay
his sisters mortgage, costs and expenses. I'm
der these circumstances, though at consldera-
BILE inconvenience, | was obliged to raise
this money for Mrs AbrahamS. | did so.
The title was then put in her, and l took a
mortgage for one year to secure my money. No
attention was paid to its payment, and after
waiting several months longer than ii was due,
| 1 advertised the property for sale, was obliged
| to bid it in to save myself, and paid more for
| it than was bid on it at any time previous
The property is evidently worth much more
than it sold for, but as there was some question
| about the title, it seemed almost impossible to
| sell it.
After the sale Mr.. Abrahams asked me to
| give him an opportunity to redeem the property.
| / did so, and gave him paper to this effect
''This is to certify that | have agreed 20 delay
the ratification O! the sale of the Abrahams
| property until the LIST day of March next, to
give him an opportunity TO raise my claims, by
mortgaging or selling said property, in which
event will release all claims to it.

| On the LIST of March, instead Of paying the
money, he filed exceptions to the sale, which
| were afterwards withdrawn by consent. He
stated on the LIST OF March, he wanted three or
four weeks longer to raise the money. | told
him to take eight weeks, but | wanted it in
writing that if he could not raise my money by
that time, he should not delaR me longer, nor
put me to further trouble aIH expense.

After receiving this filed petition to get
possession. This was delayed by dilatory mo-
| tions until the 30th day of September when
the Court passed final order directing the
| Sheriff to deliver me possession Of the proper
| ty. In few days Deputy Sheriff Burke
| went over to deliver me possession. He
returned without doing it, and next day went
before the Grand Jury and got bill against
| Mr.. Abrahams for an assault and immediate
ly arrested him and put him in jail. then
| gave orders not to execute the writ Of posses
| sion while Mr.. Abrahams was in Jail. When
| the trial came on, Mr.. Burke stated to the Court
| that Abrahams committed no assault and he
! was released. At the trial of this case the dec
| larations of the prisoner were given in evil
| dence by the witness Burke, to the effect that
| | had robbed and ruined Mr.. Abrahams and
|
! have been busy circulating this base Islander,
and his deputy no doubt felt it his duty to re-

went home. l went over the next day, and
finding that he was willing to make no further
trouble, l told him TO remain in the house,
that | would still do what had always said
and intended, to deed bis wife at least ten acres

at least one thousand dollars at her option, if
l could sell the property to advantage. have
| cleared up the title and have every expecta
! ton of selling the property at good price, so
as to enable me to carry out this promise, which
| l intend to do
This morning received the following very
kind letter from Mr.. Abrahams' neighhors
RANDALLsTowN, BALTIC. Co.,
o. October 10th, 1871.
j. r. Ensor, Esq Il was not fully aware of
the slanderous reports in circulation when
saw YOU on the 14th inst, in reference to the
Abrahams property. have since conversed
with number of tie neshbors, and it is their
unanimous opinion that you have exercised
degree of forbearance toward the family that
few other men would have done, in giving
them time to dispose of the land and allowing
them to remain on it. The undersigned neigh
bors and friends of the Abrahams family,
know and believe that any reports circulated
to the contrary are false, and without founda-
ton, and that you are at liberty to use their
names as you think best.

report is also put in circulation that pre-
vious to the adoption of the present Constitu-
ton, States Attorneys were not entitled to over
So 500 per annum. This is not correct. States
Attorneys in this State were always allowed
$1,000 per annum, over and above their ex-
| penses, provided the fees of the office would
pay it. That am right in this refer to the
Judges of the Court. Starting with these false
premises am charged by my opponent with
having received $4,000 and upwards when
was entitled to only 81 500. This view of the
law is too absurd for further notice.
The books in the treasurers Office show that

of Baltimore county for four years service
as States Attorney. These books also show
