Adj. c. Hinkson appeared as an attorney
| for Charles Heisen, and asked that the CITY
pay him two months rent Tor the Justlce
office, lately occupied by Judge Henley,
and asked that he be required TO occupy
the same. He said he had gone to great
expense to fit up the building as Court
room with the understanding that 1t should
be occupied by Henley for Il term OF two
years.
Judge Henley appeared before the Board
| and stated that the reason he left the prem
Uses and refused to pay the rent was owing
to the fact that Mr. Heisen had refused to
deliver over the keys of the office, and he
| did not consider, under those circumstan-
ces, that his records were safe.
After considerable discussion between
| Judge Henley and Mir. Heisen's attorney
| the Board referred the matter to the City
| ATTORNEY. with a request that he file an
| opinion as to the power of the Trustees in
| the matter.
