An Interesting SUIT NOW i'm Progress
in Philadelphia.

in Philadelphia.
A suit is now in progress in Philadel-
phia which involves the claim of mem
befs Of the Fifth and Sixth Delaware
Regiments, better known as the Home
Guards, for pay for military services
during the civil war. The hearing took
place Thursday afternoon before Lawyer
Ernest L. Tustin. who sat at his Office,
No. 1872 south Sixth street, as commits.
sioner to take testimony OF member.
The case is test suit of W. N. Wilson
against the United States in the court of
claims at Washington. W. N. Wilson ia
q Justice Of the peace, collector OF claims
and commissioner of deeds at Middle
town, Del. The suit is on claim for
back pay, alleged to be due him for mill.
tary service during the war, as . member
OF the Sixth Regiment, Delaware Volun-
teeFs. The actual amount sued for is
only 1922 90, but the case in reality in
wolves an amount between $3.50, 900 and
$500, Geo, as there are ], 800 surviving mem
beEs OF the two regiments who claim to
bs entitled to the back pay.
As the records of these two regiments
at Washington are siugularly deficient,
when the ease came up recently before
the court OF claims it was feFEed back
for additional testimony and in that
shape came before the commissioner on
Thursday. The CON claimant is represented
by John W. smith Of Washington and
the government by Assistant United
Ststss District Attorney John q. Cheney.
The witnesses Thursday examined were:
William N. Wilson OF hiddletown, Del;
Captain David j. Murphy OF Newark,
Del, and Horatio G. Lloyd Of Camden,
n. J.
The testimony was to the effect that
the main object in forming the regiments
was to guard the interests of the State
and prevent It's secession to the Southern
ConfeGerecy, despite the fact thnt the
Delaware Legislature had resolutely de-
clined secession ovsrtures, before the
civil war was under wRy. The regiments
were organized by United States officer,
and were clothed ard srmed by the gov
eminent. They drilled regular, twice a
week, in barracks eud were supposed 20
be ready for emergency services. In the
month OF June, 1858, preceding tie battle
OF Gettysburg, they were, however, put
in active service, and were sent into
Maryland TO protect the railroads from
the rebel cavalry raiders. For thii
duty they were paid by the government,
but for this only. Now they claim that
they should have been paid fer the time
between ths date on which they were
mustered in and tue date they went into
active service, as they were then they
claim just as much United States troops
as though they were garrisonsd some
where in the south. In support of this
claim hey swear that they were under
strict military duty, and when any man.
Der was absent from drill he was brought
in by guard. The hearing is still in
PROGRESS.
