SUE FOR THE BONDS.
MR. TRENT INSTITUTES PROCEED
iNGS TO RECOVER TRUST FUNDS.
He Claims that q Transfer Made by the
Order of the Late George n.
Woodbridge Was Illegal.

William p. Trent. of Suwanee. Tenn.
has instituted suit in the United States
Court against the city OF Richmond,
Martha A. Woodbridge. Administrative OF
George N. Woodbridge. deceased, aud
Lucy G. Trent, the object being to recover
IS, 800 Of city registered per cent. bonds
with premium or the value thereof.
The bill Gled IN the case alleges that the
late George n. Woodbridge, as trustee for
Iucv c. Trent and her son, William 7.
Trent. did invest part Of the proceeds OF
the sale of property of the late Peterheld
Trent In certain bonds of the city OF Rich
mOnd: that subsequently-to wit. on the
10th 1av of June, 1854 the SAID George \.
Wood bridge. trustee. gave power OF AZ
torney 10 one c. Sutton. at that time a
clerk for Warren 4 Quarles; that on the
5th of July, 1884, the said sutton took sald
power to the office of the City Auditor and
had said bonds to the extent Of $500 can
celled and new bonds issued in their stead
10 persons whose names are unknown 20
the orator that the city unlawfully allow
cd the transfer TO be made. although the
said Woodbridge had no authority TO make
IL. and was at the same time using the pro-
ceeds OF the sale to satisfy his private
debts.
WHERE IhE IO5o fhiA<os
The bill further alleges that as no re-
coyory can be made from the estate OF
William II. Quarles, deceased. who sue
ceeded 10 the business Of Warren n
Ouarles. the loss will fall wholly upon the
orator. William b. Trent. and his mother,
Iucy G.. Trent. unless the city is held re-
sponsible for Is plain breach OF duty.
The bill further sets forth that Martha
A. WOODBRIDGE, administrators, has IN her
hands the sum Of $1,000, upon which.
uuder the laws OF Virginia, the orator and
his mother have prior claim over all
other creditors. Therefore, If the court
should be of the opinion that the said
George n. Woodbridge's estate is first
liable TO the trust estate for $1,000. then
the liability of the city Of Richmond Will
be limited. II otherwise, the liability Will
be for the full amount OF $500 and the
premium on that amount OF registered
bonds as of date Of unlawful transfer.
WHAT IS ASKED.
II is therefore prayed that the city of
Richmond be decreed to produce its books
and all papers concerning the aforesaid
transactions, and TO replace the bonds or
paw the loss Occasioned by the transfer OF
said bonds IN current money of the United
States. with interest on the premium at
the rate Of 6 per cent. per annum TO the
Court or some trustee to be hereafter ap-
pointed. or so much Of said sum as may
be due. should any recovery be made from
the administrative, Mrs. Martha A. Wood.
