In conversation Mr.. Springer explained
his reasons for the course he took at
the close Of the May term OF court.
"The records';' he said, "were public
property: but yet as he understood the
duties pertaining to his office he did
not think that he would be justified in
giving them for publication in the
The applications were published in the
papers of Wilmington last year and in
thereof the county was put
to an additional expense of between
three and four thousand dollars at The
May term of Court, paid to witnesses
'nbp1naed to testify against unlicensed
liquor dealers.
He thought that they had no right to
be published; and he would not give
them for publication unless by pub
lie order from the Court.
As that order was given last even.
ing, prior to adjournment, by their
Honors, he bowed in submission.
He stated that after the close of the
May term of Court he received note
signed by the Chief Justice, from tn.
but he looked upon that az a
request merely, and not as an official
order, and he felt bound by his official
obligations u refuse.
Having said this, he, with a self.
conscious air of one having relieved
himself of matter of weighty consid
,ration, returned to his duties, and we
silently departed.
