The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1884-01-22

Auditor IN 1881 was to blame for allow
Ting Kasey to run bis Indebtedness up 10
the high figure Of $4,000. The Auditor
failed to do his duty by serving the proper
notices and motions on Kasey. Had this
been done, the sure!ies claim that the
amount due the State at That time
was fully covered by the real and per.
sonal property OF Kasey, and that
they would have taken legal steps T.
protect themselves, bnt that since
then Kasey had incurred liabilities 10 such
an extent that his property would moi
nav those due on account Of school and
county levy. The petitioners therefore
prayed that they be relieved OF the legal
penalties accruing In the ease, and I've
Granted two years time within which 10
pay the goo 900. and thar they be allowed
| 10 do this with per cent. state bonds at
rar. They do not ask any relicffor Kasey,
| but claim that under the circumstances thcy
are entitled TO relief.
| The bill goes 10 the Committee on FL
nance.
