A CHARGE OF UsuEy.

Result of Some Transactions Between
Isaac T. Chamberlain and Levi ii.
Miller.
An action is now pending before
Chancellor Salisbury in which Levi II.
Miller, living near Wilmington, is
charged by Isaac r. and Elizabeth T.
Chamberlain, formerly of this city, but
now of Mill Creek hundred, with usury.
The affidavit filed by the plaintiffs
alleges that they borrowed $4,000 for
one year from Miller, for which they
agreed to give bonus of $1,000 and
So, 300 interest. In order TO avoid the
charge of usury they made over to
Miller a deed of their farm in Mill
Creek hundred, taking from him
written agreement to deliver the prop
erty back Upon the return of the princi-
pal and interest of the loan. The afli-
davit further alleges that Mr.. Chamber
lain has since rendered Miller the sum
of $4,000, with six per cent interest,
which offer was refused. He also alleges
that Miller at first agreed to mako the
loan for q bonus of $1,000, but that
later, when he called upon E. d. K,
Sutton, Miller's son-in-law, in this city,
he learned that the bonus had been in
creased to $4,000.
On behalf of Mr.. Miller, the accuse
ton of usury is denied in toto. His
statement of the case is that Chamber
lain came to him for financial loan,
which was refused. Then Miller bought
the farm and gave Chamberlain lease
upon it, with the privilege of getting out
the kaolin clay, which is found there in
large quantities and the option of pur-
chasing the farm back, within one year,
for $4,000.
At the end of tho year Chamberlain
had not purchased the farm, and it is
further alleged that he has thus far
failed to make a sufficient offer for
its purchase. Also, that he has remained
on the premises TO date without paying
any rent. An action agains. Mrs. Cham-
berlain as q holding-oycr tenant, is now
pending before Esquire Richardson of
Marshallton. A similar action was
brought several months ago and tried
before referees, but was decided against
proceedings. The farm is quite valu-
able property and has large bed of ex-
cellent kaolin clay.
chancellor salisbury, at Dover, yes
terday week, issued an order for the
defendant to appear before him on No
vember 10th and show cause why de-
cree should not be made ordering him
TO accept the payment of $4,000, with
6 per cent interest, and to convey the
property back to Chamberlain. Ward
and Cooper are attorneys for Chamber
lain, and Ball and Lyman for Miller.
Mr.. Chamberlain was in the leather
business in this city for several years,
and erected the large five.story brick
building at the northeast corner of
Fourth and Orange streets.

JUSTICES AND SCHOOL C1ERKs.
State Auditor Duianey on the War Path
Looking After Stnte Asscts.

State Auditor ii. S. Dulaney was at
the county court house yesterday
week. In talking upon public matters
he makes the complaint that hundreds
of dollars are lost the State by the
neglect of some of the justices Of tho
peace to report the fines and forfeiturcs,
as required by law. 1t is their duty to
send a certified list of all fines; name of
the party fined; the constable to whom
the fine was paid over, and his residence.
The auditor cited an instance of adown-
State justice who evaded the law.
Another complaint he has is against
school district clerks who fail to make
proper expenditure of the district funds.
Mr.. nulaney proposes to see that the
district school assets show some rational
balancr or the amount expended and
also the charges on the bills paid
are not excessive.
