ALBION VS.. RICHMOND.
ihe TergiyersatiOns Of a Richmond
Lawyer Again Exposed.

hnNycf again EX pOSeN.
San Francisco Daily Stock Exchange.
The opinion and decision of Judge Leon
ard, fixing the amount of the bond at the
sum of sac, 900, which the Richmond
Company must give in order to entitle it
to a supersedeas, is a we'll drawn judicial
document. 1t is clear and pointed, and
carries with it conviction that it is q lust
and proper conclusion. The sneer in the
Stock Report of the 18th inst, about the
" Sagebrush Tribunal" comes with a bad
grace from the professional legal CORE
spondent of that paper. Every one at all
conversant with the litigation between the
Albion and Richmond knows full we'll who
this professional person is. His finger
marks and mode Of stating things are too
well known to mislead any one. Had
these remarks in the Stock Report, COM
mencing with the untrue dispatch from
Carson, when remittitur was stayed, ema-
mated from any one but a lawyer
who was prominent and loud-mouthed
on the Richmond side, but little
attention would have been paid to them.
But when they emanate from a lawyer who
is supposed to be al officer of the Court,
so long as he practices in it, it is, to say
| piO icubbb III very Ddl bdStt, duu buOulQ
subject him to punishment by the Court
to the extent of debarring him from
further practice in that Court, and we beg
to suggest to the Court that it take proper
steps to ascertain whether or not this man
occupies the position which these articles
certainly suggest that he does, OF casting
ridicule and odium upou the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the State of Ne
vada. Unless we are greatly mistaken, it
was in the Courts of this State where this
legal luminary first undertook to dazzle
the world with his great legal ability.
The acts and sayings of this lawyer some
times pass comprehension, and in showing
his chagrin at the terrible legal defeat
which has overtaken him and his clients
in this Albion litigation, he should bear in
mind that there are always two sides to
every question, and because Courts may
decide adversely to his clients it does not
follow that the Judges are either knaves or
fools, although the Judges may constitute
a "Sagebrush- Tribunal"
Another one of the counsel of the Rich
mond Company is also reported to have
said in Eureka, in connection with the
ruling Of Judge Leonard, that "the amount
Of the bond made 10 difference to the Rich
mond Company since the entry of judg-
ment there, decreeing the Albion in pos
session, with the injunction against it dis
solved; for whether they gave the bond or
not, the Richmond could not prevent the
Albion from removing the ore, and that
his only object in attempting to gire a bond
at all ecas to bear the Albion stock and
cinch a hiering ring at Carson, which he
thinks influenced the decision against
Richmond"
As T,gtina r noro,l koJro, ooao,;o, - 49,
in his opinion that he had consulted with
his brother Judges, who agreed with him
in his conclusion, the sayings OF the coun-
sel of the Richmond Company in Eureka
and San Francisco do not rebound to their
credit in any way. We must confess our
establishment at the bitter words of these
legal persons and at their chagrin, and beg
to dismiss them with the advice, that here
after they should take a legal defeat with
more nonchalance and not accuse the
Court which decides against them of either
ignorance or corruption.
The bitterness which they have exhibited
during the long legal struggle, coupled
with their intense chagrin at their Water
loo defeat, shows the value of the stake.
The reason of the determination OF these
lawyers, and particularly of the senior
counsel Of the Richmond Company, to
carry on the litigation is we'll understood
and may be stated quite briefly we think.
He is, as is we'll known, the President Of
the legal figure head in Nevada Of this
great Richmond octopus, and ut the same
time is the counsel for that company as
we'll as of the Richmond Mining Company
of London, limited, which own the Rich
mond Mining Company Of Nevada.
The appeal to the supreme Court OF the
United States, which will not be reached
or tried within four years, il ii Ia ever
tried there at all, will serve to keep this
legal gentleman in fees for that time GER
tain, and such an sppea! will be worth at
least $50, 900 to these professionals. There
is not one chance in q million OF the do
cision Of the Supreme Court Of Nevada be-
ing reversed. 1t is the same old story Of
Eureka vs.. Richmond over again. which
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court coat the lattar company at least
500, 900.
So far in every legal contest wherein the
Richmond Company have been engaged
they have been bsGton. and very badly.
But the beating they have received from
the Albion Company has been the worst of
all. 1t ia so thorough, 30 complete, 80
crushing, that we do not wonder that these
great legal luminaries feel a little sore
over it. For to all the loud vaporings and
flourish of trumpets, coupled with the
enormous quantity of untruths which have
been told by the lawyers of that concern,
the recent opinion of Chief Justice Leonard
is a fit extinguisher.
