An Important Case.

A suit OF considerable Importance is
now pending in the Circuit Court of
this county against the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Compay, and yesterday
morning and last evening arguments
of counsel were heard by Judge Jacob
in Part Two. The cause is II suit in equ-
ty, and also legal proceedings, to re-
cover back taxes due the county Of JEFF
ferson and the school districts therein
for the years 1873 to 1879, inclusive, and
the amount involved is between $l5, 900
and $4,000. These taxes have been
regularly assessed against the Railroad
Company, and partially paid by it, and
the important question is whether the
State can maintain an action at law, or
whether she must have recourse to Il
suit in chanctry TO recover the balance
claimed to be due, and enforce 1t as n
lien against the railroad company. The
cases are the same which were taken by
removal to the Circuit Court OF the
United States, but were remanded back
to the lower Court in June last by Chief
Justice Waite, sitting at Parkersburg.
Yesterdays arguments were on the de-
murrer to the bill and to the declara-
ton. The demurrer by the railroad
company was supported by Col. Caleb
Boggess, assisted by III. N. Russell,
while Hon. Daniel B. Lucas, assisted
by Hon. W. p. Hubbard, for the State,
asked that they be overruled. The de-
cision of the Court was reserved. The
question opened up by this suits new
one, and the matter, on that account,
possesses peculiar interest for the legal
mind Wheeling Register.
