Legal Decisions Affecting Deferred Debts to
the Lunatic Asylum.

On FRIDAY last Judge Smith Of the Hust-
ines Court decided two cases of imror
lance to the LuHatic ASYLUM, in Che mat
ter of recovering old debts. The suits
were brou hit !.y the Board Of Directors OF
The w. L. Asylum against Judge Robert
". Hughes and against MI Chas. Wal
lace of Stafford. in their capacity as ''com-
lnittee'' for two patients at the asylum, for
board due for the patients. In the last
named suit the name of Hugh Adie, Sher
if of Stafford, was substituted for that of
Mr.. Wallace, he having assumed the posi-
tion. Judge SheHey, who represented
Judge Hughes, and Maj. Z. Z. Elder, who
represented Mr.. Wallace, pleaded the
statute of limitation in Mr.. holding that
the Beard Of Directors were not the State,
against which tile statute was of no avail,
but an incorporated body against whom it
WAS good. Judge John Howard McCue, the
official counsel Of the Board, conducted
the two suits i'll their behalf and gave a
long and thorough history IT the relations
of Stale institutions with the State itself
back to tie Colonial times showing that
they represented tie Commonwealth and
shared it's superiority to the statute OF
limitations. Judge McCue's argument
VAS over two hours in length, and the pre-
siding Judge in giving his opinion compli-
fnantea lis 4bilEty in the highest terms
| The Court gave a verdict for the State in
| boil cases. Similar suits haye been deci-
ded in the same Wy by Judges Lucas T.
| Thompson OF Augusta, Tfedway of Pitt,
s.lvanf., II arris of Rockingham and Dick
| inson of Prince Edward, but the question
has nos yet gone 10 the Court OF Appeals
] AS i'll tie frat named case before Judge
Smith, the amount involved is sufficient tx
entitie it to be tiken up to that tribunal L
is probable it may take thaE direction ant
the question ta placed among .ad,pdl:atet
cas7s. All adverse decision to the Boart
would not only place some Si5,o0o OF de
ferred payment out Of their reach. pu

Board through their counsel, has alread
been collected.
