purchasers of real estate was rendered in tht
United States Circuit Court, few days since
py Judge Dillon, in the case of Martin Hinzie
against Amos Elliott and Others The com
plainant purchased lands from one Bloomfield,
against whom the defendant, Elliott. had OBJ
tanned judgment in the United States Circuit
Court before the conveyance to Hinzie. the
complainant. Elliott had an execution issued
and levied upon the land after its purchase by
Hinzie. Hinzie than brought bill of equity
to restrain Elliott, the plaintiff, in the judg-
ment, and the United States Marshal from sell
ing the land under the execution, on the
ground that judgments of the United States
Courts were not liens upon the property of the
defendant unless transcript was filed in the
county wherein the lands sought to be effected
were situated. The Court, upon the hearing,
directed that judgments of the United States
court were liens upon any real estate of the
deiendant situated within the territorial juris-
dlction OF the Court which is this State, and
That 1t was not necessary to file transcript in
the county where the lands were situated, as
the statute of the State of Iowa provides.
AT the September term, 1876, of the Circuit
Court of KossuthS County, over which Judge
Zuver presided, charges were preferred against
Geo. 4. Clarke, an attorney of Algona, accus-
ing him of corrunting the ennrts and .naol-inn
disbarment enacted against him. When Judge
Weaver succeeded Judge Zuver upon the Cir
cult bench in Kossuth County, he set aside the
disbarment, since which time Clarke has been
practicing as usual. Clarke then instituted in
the District Court of Kossuth County suit
against Judge Zuver for $4,000 damages,
charging him with conspiracy and corruption
in Office. A change Of venue was taken at the
last November term from Kossuth County, the
home of the plaintiff, to the District Court of
Cerro Gordo County, and again to Franklin
County. The case came up recently, but
Clarke did not appear and the case was dis
missed. Judge Zuver had counter claim
which alleged that the petition of Clarke was
an unfounded, malicious and slanderous libel,
and prayed Judgment for $40, 900 thereon, but,
at his own request, was awarded 81 and costs.
