The SUPREME COURT OF NERAoNT.-lt is
evident that the court is entirely Tree from
any, even the slightest, improper influence.
The decision is based upon principles OF law
and equity, and the Supreme Court Of YER
mont may be relied upon to do Justice with
out lear OF favor. The court disclaims any
responsibility for the management Of the
railroads, and very properly, because no
question concerning such management has
been before the Supreme Court since there
has been reason to complain. This may
not be generally understood, hut it occurred
in this way The Supreme Court consists
of seven Judges appointed by the Leglsla-
ture every two years. from different parts OF
the State. As soon as they are appointed,
they assign to each other certain counties IN
which to hold court each judge Is IN equi-
~ proceedings chancellor, and can act In
that capacity in any part OF the State, but
it il customary to have all proceedings IN
one county brought before the chancellor to
whom that county has been assigned. The
old case, in which all the railroad proceed
ings have been held, was commenced and
remained pending In Franklin county, and
the Judge and chancellor to whom that cOun-
~ has been assigned for the last five or SIX
years il Judge Royce OF St. Adams. None OF
the utCTetS anu
the embarrassment of the property have
been before the Supreme Court at all, only
before the chancellor for Franklin county
The Supreme Court. as such. especially the
other six Judges, may properly, therefore.
say that they are not responsible Tor any OF
these DEGREES or orders.
The recent opinion decides that the com
promise decree of 1854 (sO-called) and all
subsequent DEGREES and orders of court ESQ
called) have no judicial force As emanating
from the court; they are only agreements
OF the parties This opinion il contrary to
what must have been the view OF Judge
Royce, because since 1872 he has allowed
DEGREES to be entered up, not only without
the assent of all parties Interested, but
against the protest of some of the parties
most largely interested. and has refused to
allow the protesting parties to appeal to the
Supreme Court The court hold that
neither the trust debt nor the floating debt
have lien on the property. and that there
fore the property cannot be sold to raist
money TO pay either. This is as far as II
