An Interesting Point Decided.-An in
teresting law point was decided in the Circuit
Court at Belair on Thursday, in the case of
Frank L. Morling against the County Commits

in substance that Morling was appointed asses
sor of unassessed stock in this county, and
while acting as such assessed certain stock. For
this service he charged the County Commls-
sioners 81, 900. Thedefendant demurred on the
ground that the Commissioners had exceeded
their authority in appointing an assessor, as
the making of such appointment. The court

tanned the demurrer on the ground that the
power of assessing unassessed property lodged
in the County Commissioners by the code was
judicial and could not be delegated.
