while ia the DISCHARGE Of his duty The
court said: The exemption Of the State
from paying damages for actions Of this
nature does not depend upon its immunity
from being sued without its consent but
rests upon grounds Of public policy, which
deny Its liability for such damages. II is
argued. however that the State has assumed
and acknowledged its liability by this act
But that is precisely what the Legislature
is forbidden TO do. A legislative apDropria-

State is in no wise indebted either upon

MCLEAN'S LAND.
A Peculiar Case Decided by the
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court decided a case yester-
day involving title to land in San Luis
ObispO County valued at $40 600. The land
in question was mOrtgaEed by the owners,
George Schultz and ii. Won BarRen for $50
coo to j. b, Haggin, who obtained decree
of foreclosure and threatened TO sell the
land.
1t appears that Won Bargen and Schultz
were clients Of Robinson, Olney & Byrne,
lawyers, and Robinson Informed them that
he had a person who would advance them
enough money 30 cancel their inde btedness
TO HaggG. but that the person would deal
only with him, and it would therefore be
necessary to put the property 10 his robin
sons name. This was done and Robinson
sold the property to q. ID. Mclean, who
Schultz and Won Bargen understood was to
pay the mortgage, give them 5000, sell the
property, aud, after recOuping himself for
his expenditures, divide the remainder with
them.
Mclean, however. had different under
standing Of the case. he believed that he
was To have a perfect title after satisfying
the Haggin judgment. He did this and
obtained the title deed, but declined to
carry out the programme arranged by
Messrs. Schultz and Won Bargen, with whom
he had no dealings, his relations being only
with Robinson.
Schultz and Won Bargen sued for the re-
cOveTy Of the land in the Superior Court
and obtained Judgment, which was to the
effect that Mclean held the land in trust.
Mclean appealed to the Supreme Court,
which reversed the judgment on the ground
that the evidence did not support the find
