Important Decision

Judge Mccormick, in the United States
circuit court, has rendered an important do
cision in the case of Wolf Bschrach, as
sgnte of NJ, Myerson We. a. Is. Norton ct
al. It WAS suit for damages transferred
from Grayson county to the United States
circuit court. NJ Myerson failed in business
and made an assignment TO Wolf Bachrach,
the plaintiff. Myerson still continued the
business, Bacbrach living in another place.
The defendant is United States marshal for
this district. On a writ of attachment issued
cut of the circuit court on a suit brought by
Dodge, Brown g. 90, St. Louis, defer dsnt
LEVIED on plaintiffs goods. The plaintiff
sued the msrehsl for damages The defend
ant set up the plea that the assignment was
fraudulent, and done for the purpose of hins
deripg and delaying debtors in collecting
their Just debts. Plaintiff excepted TO detend-
ants answer on the ground that under the
present state law no kind of fraud vtiated the
assignment. The court overruled the excep-
ton and the case was continued by plaintiff,
but it is now virtually at close. This is the
fret decision that has been rendered under
the new statute of assignments.

he Land Bill.

London, July 1.-The Times in lead-
ing article this morning says that the leaders
of the Irish party in the house of commons
oppose emigration absolutely and COM
pletely and by indirect and direct means are
resisting the adoption of the emigra-
ton clause Of the land bill.
They doubtless calculate the ministry would
rather abandon the clause than impe1il the
fortunes of the bill or protrsct the labors of
parliament, but whatever notifications of the
scheme Gladstone may accept he can scarce
surrender its principal clause. 1t WAS origi-
nally put forward as one of the alternate
motives ofrelief from poverty in sterile,
evercrowded Districts of Ireland, The cons
SENATORS and many liberals would regard it
as breach of faith if this alternative was
taken away.
TheDaiIy News says that 10 political circles
the explanation ofthe Irish opposition in the
house of commons to the emigration clause
of the land bill, is that they wish to prevent
the passage of the bill and believe the rejec-
ton of that clause would increase the ami.
mostly to the bill in the house OF lords.
