GENTLEMEN Leaning that some mem

submit the following statement: At the
January Term of the Court for 1871, while

tried on the pleadings and some questions
of law, which were raised by them, and on
lntmAtion BY the court that Judgment in
the case as it then stood would have to be in
favor of the county, Mr. Sage, BY his
solicitors in the case, fled an amended bill
l. H.
on the payment of all costs up TO that time.
| Between the January term, 1871, and the
January term 1872. something over dozen
depostions were taken In the case. At the
last named term the trial of the case upon
the amended bill was entered upon. but the
term of the court expiring before the case
could be fully submitted, by agreement of
counsel and request of court, written argu-
meuts were 10 be fled during vacation. Ac-
cordingly, soon after the adjournment of
| the January term of this court, written ar
guments were prepared and led in the case,
/ both By Mr.. Sage's counsel, and BY myself,
on behalf of the county. The court was
unable to examine the yolumuious deposi-
tions, maps, &C., and the lengthy arguments
/ Of council, in time to render decision at
the May term just closed, but still has the
case under advisement and will no doubt
render decision at the next September
term.
| have assumed in this statement that the
hoard is aware Of the fact that when Mr..
Allen was chosen County Attorney, as my
successor, it was agreed, ipasmuch as | was
familiar with the details of the case, aud
Mr.. A!len had at one time counseled Mr..
/ Sage Ia the matter. | should continue in
charge of the case, and it is for this reason
that | now make this statement instead OF
your County Attorney. Respectfully,
R.T McNEIL.
