Injunction with the Clerk and Master,
last week, against the Chairman aud
Justices of the Peace of the county
and the holders of the r. & J. Rail-

The complaint is to be presented to
the Chancellor in open Court at the
next May Term, the object being to
enjOin and refrain the collection of
the Railroad and Sinking Fund taxes
for the years 1877 -, and prohibit the
County Court from levying any tax in
the future for these purposes.
The bill covers thirty-f ,ur pages of
legal cap paper. charges that the bonds
were illegally Issued, and therefore,
not bin ding upon the county. If the
injunction is granted it will involve an
nvestigatiOn of the financial opera
tions of the county from 1865 to the
present time.
The bonds are principally held, we
understand, by parties in New York
AMI other places outside of Hawkins
