Judgment credit or. for an order 10 sell the
Coast Line railroad, was heard before Judge
Falligant in the superior court yesterday.
Col George A. Mercer resisted the applf-
cation on behalf Of William German and
others, holders OF mortgages and bonddold-
ers' trustees. The attorney held that as the
parties had already fled suit for foreclos>
urs and sale, which has been set for trial
April 80, the court could not grant an inter-
| locutory order fercing a sale.
Charlton & Mnckau. for the intervsn-
ors. and R r Richards, Esq.,, for the iudg-
ment creditor, disputed Col. MERGERS posi-
ton. They held that the court had the
right TO issue an interlocutory order, force
the sale and impound the proceeds IN the
registry of the court, TO be divided among
the properly entitled creditors. Mr.. Rich
ards charged openly that the suit OF Cor
man and others is nothing more than the
SUIT OF george farsonss VINO WANTS 70 RoE
control Of the road.

the road Is not making any money and
must be sold to meet its demands

Of the lawyers regarding the courts power
in the question OF an interlocutory order,
