Tactics of Ia Richmond Counsel
to Ala Stock Operations.

to Ala StOck operations
Some days since we published the tele-
graphic corresponding connected with the
tricky acts of the Richmond Company as
regards the writ of error in the Albion
case.> The Clerk Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, at Washington, tele-
graphed to Mr.. Stewart:
"On the petition presented to Judge
Field, in Rose against Richmond Mining
Company for allowance of writ Of error, he
wrote: Writ of error allowed, not to act
as supersedeas.' That petition, instead Of
being filed here, has been sent by counsel
here back to Nevada. 1t is with counsel
there or with the clerk Of the Supreme
Court of the State. The petition should
be restored to me to be filed here. The
approval of the $40, 600 bond being the
costs only"
tition, acith its endorsement, had not
been filed with the Clerk of our
Supreme Court at Carson; MOI is it at
Washington. 1t is certainly not to the
credit of the Richmond counsel that an
important paper like that petition, with its
endorsement, which left Washington with
the bond and writ of error, to be filed with
the Clerk of the Supreme Court at Carson,
should be kept back and not filed at
all. The perusal of the bond, q copy Of
which we have seen, is enough within
itself to expose the sto%ck-jobbing scheme.
The bond is signed by Daniel Myer and
Jonas Myer, and was executed April 6,
1882, and is the identical bond presented
to u Chief Justice, to act as supersedeas.
The bond recites that it "shall answer
all damages and costs"-thus making 1t,
without some restriction, a supersedeas
bond.
The stock-jobbing scheme is now clear,
and it, for q day or two, worked pretty
we'll for the Richmond schemers. This
crowd filed the writ and bond, but not
the petition with it's endorsement, and
forthwith all their tools shouted
and published to the world that the
Albion was tied up for three or four years,
as a supersedeas bond had been given and
accepted by Judge Field, and the credu-
lous, who may have owned Albion shares,
believing these false statements, sacrificed
their shares, and it is probable that the
Richmond stock sharps reaped the benefit
of q few hundred dollars by this dirty trick
played upon Judge Field, for they took
precious good care not to inform that gen.
tleman that they had before applied to JUS
tice Seward. The whole dirty stock job
bling scheme is now thoroughly ventilated,
and is fully upon a par, if it does not ex-
eel in falsity, that false dispatch of the
Richmond counsel some time previous to
this last move, which said: "Remittitur
stayed. Citation signed. Writ of error
issued" This false dispatch, which should
debar the lawyer who concocted and sent
it, had its effect as stock jobbing opera
tion also, and the Richmond stock sharps
realized in this raid also q few hundred
dollars. That such a course should be
pursued is q disgrace to the professionals
connecting the scheme, and it is still worse
that they should use u Courts and
Judges for such a purpose. We suggest
to these professional stock sharps that as
the retention of the petition with its in
dorsement cannot now further benefit
them in stock operations, they had better
file it, either in Carson or Washington.
