The Courts in Brief---Urimina1 Notes
1.-The County oourt--~
New Suits.
Tho Great Western Telegraph Company '.
Hilton, In roview from tho District Court, WAS
up before Hia Honor Judge Dftmmond yesterday
morning. This Is an entirely now, original and
separate got Of suits from what is known to tho
world as Hilton '. Groat Weston Telegraph
Company, in roview from tho District Court.
which Judge Dnlmmond decided o fcw days ago.
Tho last Was to set aeide bankruptcy proceedings;
and this is to set aside an injunction granted by
Judge Blodgstt restraining tho Company from
proceeding with the accounting before Maator
In Chancory. Tho petitioner Hilton, under
covor OF whose namo all theao proceed-
inga against tho Company are taken,
objects that tho aocountancy under an ordor Of
another Court is legal superauity which tho
creditor Hilton can afford to dispense with, and
which is no longer necessary, now the Company
has boon adiudicated bankrupt.
Tho Company, on tho other hand, Insist that
tho whole Of tho bankruptcy proceedings which
Tho rocont decision Of the Circuit Court has
permitted to bo roopened. lingo upon this ao-
sountancy, as without an accountancy boing
aiken, it will bo impossible for the District
Court to Judge Of the true atate OF the COM
pany's affairs. Therefore thoy have petitioned
she Circuit Court in review Of tho District Court
order granting tho Injunction, praying tlat said
injunction bo act aside.
This WAS argued before Judge Drummond all
tho morning. Tho subject WAS presented In
eyory shape and from every conceivable stand
point, by tho lawyers on both sides, but nothing
new was said or ollcited and Judge Drum
mond, having givon D very dry and converea-
tional opinion that there Was nothing in tho
matter TINT the parties could not have accom-
plished equally we'll beforo tho District Court,
Without al this loss Of time aud waato Of forms
and expense, pledged the hearers to understand
that this was merely m informal sort Of idea Of
bis own, en- passant, and that lie would lot them
know exactly what hia opinion Was, according to
tho fosmB and preceaents, this morning.
