SOME adverse criticism is made of the
chattel mortgage law passed by the last Leg
islature, on the ground that advantage Is
taken of its provisions to cover up property
from real creditors by recording fictitious
mortgage to friends or relatives. Efforts to
prevent this are being made by bonafide
creditors throwing the cases into the State in
solvency courts, with the hope of making all
creditors share alike, or have the sham mort
cages destroyed. Last week the creditors of
a wealthy farmer near Bristol named Par
melee discovered that the whole of his per-
sonal property and growing crops had been
mortgaged to secure one or two creditors and
the remaining creditors Immediately COM
menced proceedings in the court of insolven-
CIV 10 set the mortgage aside.

THE BELLOWS FRHE AcADEMY.-We are
informed that the matter of difference be-
tween the Trustees of the Bellows Free
Academy and the Hon. f. A Sowles, ex-
ecutor of Hiram Bellows's estate has been
one of law, namely: Was the legacy spe-
cific or general one If specific, the testator
only had one-fifth of the amount of stock
bequeathed by Mr.. Bellows at the time OF
making the will, or at his death, and lawyers
agree that the executor would not he obliged
to deliver over any more than the one-fifth.
If a general legacy then by statute, one yea,
is given, as in other cases, to purchase and
deliver over the stock without interest, under
the order Of the Probate Court, which the
executor is following Mr.. Sowles waived
the question OF specific legacy whereby he
might perhaps have saved 100000 to his
family, and delivered over the full amount
of stock within the year and as soon as the
conditions were complied with. His conduct
in this respect has been twice approved by
the nearly unanimous vote of the town Of
st. Adams, dismissing resolutions of instruc
ton to the Trustees in the matter.
