THE COURTS.
Important to Holders Of
Town Bonds.
Nj O N Y IN COU r. II.

The dishonored bonds of the town of Thompson
have long been the of much litigation in both
the federal aud Supreme Courts. number of suits
their value have passed from State to Cir
cult and finally to the United States Supreme Court.
whege many are now pending decision was rem
dered yesterday by Judge Wallace in the United
States Circuit Court. in the appeal case of Orlando
Perrne against the town, which, before Judge Ship
man and jury ia the lower court. was decided for
the plaintiff. The most material points of Judge
wailaces opinion are given below
Since the decision of this Court in Cooper The
Town Of Thompson, the highest court of the State
has decided that the act OF the Legislature validating
the irres ularties OF the commissioners in issuing
the bonds was unconstitutional, and since that de-
cision by the State Court Judge Shipman this
court in action between the present parties ad-
hered to the former decision OF this Court The su-
preme Court of the United States has sustained the
validity OF legislative of the general char
acter as the one in question y but IN
case OF . which am aware ware. where the
the action tried. had pronounced the
legislation unconstitutional. But in the town Of
Venice VS.. Murdoch, the Supreme Court refused to
consider itself required to yield its condition
to the right OF q holder Of municipal bonds to
cover although the highest Court OF the State had
decided that under the construction to be given
the statute under which the bonds had been issued
there could be no recovery upon the bonds. Under
these circumstances think. the more seemly dis
position OF the case requires me to adhere to the
former decisions OF this Court until the is
viewed Dy the supreme Court. IL there were any
difficulties in the way Of such review should
certainly suspend the determination of the case
until the cases now in the supreme Court involving
the same question shall be adjudged. The case Of
county of Warren Marcy Is conclusive
authority against the defence predicted upon
the action and Judgment in the People
rel. Kilburn Benedict. The evidence
would not have authorized the jury to find that
plaintiffs purchase OF the coupons in suit color
able and fictitious. Quite likely he bought them
mainly with the object of bringing suit upon them
in this court. and intending if he collected. to pay
portion of the recovery to some other person.
and perhaps the jury would have been justified in
finding that the coupons were sold by the owner as
well bought by plaintiff with this understanding.
Nevertheless the plaintiff acquired the legal tte and
this being the motive or the transaction is not
material. The plaintiff is not assignee. but acquired
his title by delivery, aud the coupons promissory
notes within the act Of March 3, 1875. The motion
for new trial is denied.
