vertisements. First. those written in
the usual form and printed in the

The CASE AGAINST THE TREAsURERs.
The defendant. Parker, on yesterday
gave notice of motion to set aside the
previous order of Judge Willard, re-
ferring it to John T. Rhett, Esq, to
take the deposition of Mr.. Parker, to be
used by plaintiffs on their motion for an
injunction. On account of the indispo-
sition OF the Judge. yesterday morning,
the argument was postponed until Mon
d y, by the consent of counsel. This is
law question wholly. and we shall ex-
press no opinions on Treasurer Parker's
course. but will leave him in the hands
OF Judge Willard, (noting from time to
time the progress OF the case,) believing
that the Judge will administer the law
fairly and squarely. On the argument
plaintiffs are represented by Messrs.
Pope & Haskell, and the defendants by
Messrs. Melton and Chamberlain.
