Adopted by Council, August 9, 1872.
B. +. White, Chairman Finance Committee
Board Of Aldermen:
In reply 70 your note. which is appended, /
would say that there Is a suit now pending in
the Second Chancery Court In favor Of the
City vs.. Jos. A. Mabry and others. which in
wolves the question, whether the parties who
received the bonds Of the city 10 place Of scrip
surrendered, at discount, are liable 10 the
city for a return Of the bonds. or for the diff
ference between the face Of the bonds and the
agreed price. While the suit Is pending and
/ am prosecutingit for the city, il seems 10 me
/ ought not TO give an official opinion upon the
question. But i will have a hearing Of the case
as soon as practicable under the rules Of the
Court. and the decision of tho Chancellor viii
be , much safer guide than any opinion
The liability Of the persons who represented
the city in the exchange Of the bonds for the
scrip depends very much on the same princi.
pies as the liability Of the parties who received
The bonds from them. ] hope, therefore. that
the General Council will defer requiring any
opinion on the questions till the Court decides
the case aFainrt Mabry aud others.
VERY respectfully,

collected outside the restaurant, as though
some tragedy had just occurred, the agents OF
the police came up, and the unfortunate de,
linouent was hurried off to the commissary, OF

had up to this moment kept In the background
but had perfect knowledge of the hero OF the
adventure, ran to the lodging; OF the latter, oe-
