THE lawsuit of Kellogg, VS.. Geo.
Stickney last week caused consider
able interest, and was, to say the
least, an affair of no small impor-
lance to the parties concerned, and
may be felt in general way through
out the county. While it is not our
aim at this stage of the proceedings
to express an opinion d comment as
to it's effect one way or the other,
feeling it but just to the parties to
the action to leave the matter work
out its fruits in its own time, yet we
mean to briefly state, as a matter of
news, the issues in the case as we
understand them. A horse belong
ing to Ransom Kellogg was seized
by the county treasurer for taxes for
the years 1874-6-7-S. Kellogg swore
out a writ of replevin, and got his
horse back, awaiting of course the
result Of the trial. In justification
of the replevin he plead that the as
sessments for the years named were
illegal; that he was never asked to
give in a statement of his property;
that the warrant from the commiss-
toner's to the treasurer were fatally
defective; that the returns Of the as
sessmcnts were not returned at the
time specified by law, and by several
other pleas we have forgotten. The
defence set up that the warrant was
correct and legal, and that the taking
of the horse was in accordance with
law. The trial. lasted until late
Saturday night and the court will
| consider tho case until next Friday
when a decision will be rendered.
How he will decide it we do not
know, and will not venture a guess.
AS we said before, the case Is one Of
Importance, and the decision Of the
court is looked for with more than
ordinary interest.
