wnArrnErAwYERs SAY
About Combining the 0faces Of Circuit
Judge and Chanceller, and the



Middle Tennessee.
There are two bills now pending in
the Legislature that are supposed to
especially interest the legal fraternity.
One of them, ii it should become a
law, will effect quite radical change
in the State Judiciary. The measures
referred to are the Manson redistrict-
ing bill, ia which it is proposed to
abolish the Office of Chancellor and
confer equity jurisdiction on the Cir
cult Courts. The other il the. bill in
troduced by Mr.. Munford to con
tinue the Court of Referees for Middle
Tennessee for two years longer.
y representative OF the CHRONICLE
went out on an interviewing expedi-
ton among the lawyers of this place
Monday to ascertain their views as to
the expediency of these two measures.
In regard to the Manson bill the in
quiries were SO directed as to apply
only to the proposed consolidation of
the Offices OF Circuit Judge and Chan
cellor, and not to the rediStricting
feature or any other feature of the bill
The reporter first invaded the Office

The next man seen was
JUDGE G. w. TYLER,

On account of his official position, the
Judge didn't care to express any opih-
ion on the Manson bill. He, however.
called the reporters attention to the
fact that the offices of Judge and Chan
cellor had been combined in special
courts in Tennessee, and for this rea-
son he thought there could be no con-
stitutional objection to such a measure
He thought the Referees Court should
certainly be continued for Middle Ten

Another creenhorn vIctimIzed

For some time past an agent for a pho
tographing establishment has been selling
stereoscopic views about town and, as the
views were pretty, he met with very good
success. The money he obtained he put in
one Of the banks for safe keeping, after
sending to the firm their share of the pro-
ceeds. The man is Nova Scotian, and on
Thursday, intending to 60 home, drew his
funds from the bank, amounting to $3.50. In
the afternoon he went down to the wharf to
take the steamer New Brunswick for st.
John. The steamer was little belated and
the "Blue-nose," while waiting, made the
acquaintance of a man who apparently knew
all the people who lived in the vicinity of
the "Blue-nose" mans home, and who gave
him what he said was pass to ST. John.
The two men got quite thick together and
when the strangers friend was approached
by man who demanded 800 for payment
of freight on a lot of machinery bound to st.
John, the strangers appeal to "Blue-nose"
for aid to settle the demand caused the pic
ture dealer to draw his wallet and hand over
the money. The three then walked up the
street together and by some caioling OBJ
tanned $50 more from "Blue-nose." Having
secured the money and telling the victim
they would see him later on the boat, the
two scamps departed and nothing more has
been seen of them. "Blue-nose'' made com
plant to the police but left..for st. John on
the New Brunswick. The sharpers in the
meantime had, probably, left for Boston on
the d. IN. train.

bezzlement of the funds Of the Mutual Trust
Company of Portland, has excited a sensa-
ton in that city this week. Mr.. Gledhill has
been in Portland this week. He thinks that
there are many palliating circumstances, and
says that he believes his son not guilty of
ENLIGHTENMENT. He says that Fred has led
fast life, but accounts for the great expense
attendant on his style Of living by the profits
of his gambling. He says, with sorrow, that
some of his sons companions have seen him
win as much as $500 in single night at the
gaming table, and that he was uniformly
lucky in his play. He has received several
letters from his son. In none Of them has he
limited at any greater crime than that of
an elopement. His son left Portland, he
says, openly and went West to New York,
instead of to Canada. He asks why the de-
fects in the books have not been discovered
before, since they have been subject to ex-
animation quarterly"
