They instance the case of James Fisk against
the Union Pacific Railroad which caused loss
of fve million dollars to the company, Judge
Barnard boasting Of the terror the order crca-
ted Another was the Black Friday case,
wherein Barnard compelled the Bank Of New
York, then insolvent, to pay all its assets,
amounting to S400 600, 10 the brokers of Fisd,
Gould & Co., and $4,000 to the receiver OF his
own appointment, leaving other creditors with
cut cent. The justification for this action is
that the plaintiffs and bank officers consented
to it; but the bank officers say consent was
wrung from them and the bank suffered loss
of between 100000 and 5000, 900 within forty
days. The suit of the English stockholders Of

discontinued One Robinson, keeper of the
Erie Company cattle yards in Jersy was ap-
pointed a receiver in return for loan Of
$4,000 which he gave to Judge Barnard in

to Coleman for some land speculation. Judge
Barnard also appointed manager for a rail-
road eight hundred miles long, running
throuh three Western states, and the result
was the loss of s2OO0,OO0, from which the
road has never recovered.
