supreme Court Dolnes.

The Supreme Court of our State, at its
June sitting, handed down decisions In
three cases in which Raritan township
was one OF the parties interested.
The case of Raritan township against
Franklin township, was decision as to
the legal settlement OF person under the
poor law. Alice NJ Buck, resident OF
Raritan township, applied to Uverseer
George w. Bateman for relief for herself
and children. A. q. Hulsizer, Justice of
the Peace, to whom the application was
referred, found that the legal settle
ment of Mrs. Buck and her children
followed that of her husband, Fritz Buck,
whose legal settlement was In Franklin
township. An order Of removal, in ac-
cordance with the Justices decision, was
made. Joseph R. Mathes, Overseer Of
Franklin township, appealed from this
order OF removal to the Court OF Quarter
Sessions OF our county, upon the ground
that Alice M. Buck had owned real estate
10 Raritan township, aud thereby had
gained settlement separate from that OF
her husband The Quarter Sessions sus-
tanned the appeal OF Franklin, and the
0verseer of Raritap then took the case to
the Supreme Court on writ OF certiorari.
The Supreme Court In Its decision reverses
the judgment of the Quarter Sessions, and
thereby declared the order OF removal as
first made to Franklin township TO be
good.
Another decision Of interest to our
readers was in the case Of taxation by our
local assessors of the stock Of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad
and Philadelphia g. Reading Railroad.
This was test case agreed upon for the
purpose OF having the Supreme Court de-
eide whether the stock of the above-named
railroads was taxable In the hands OF
stockholders. The decision was that the
stock was not subject TO taxation by local
authorities.
The third decision was the fast driving
case Of the Pennington Board OF Street
Commissioners against w. Scott Smith
The Board OF Commissioners last Summer
passed an ordinance against fast driving,
and under that ordinance brought suit
against Smith, who In turn obtained q
writ Of certiorari TO the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ.
