AN IMPORTANT CASE
In Which the State Is Made Defendant II
the Land Office Matter.

tne Lana UmCe matter,
The case of Nichols VS.. The State
was decided yesterday in Judge Rob.
ertsOn's court in favor of the state,
Mr.. Mann Trice representing the at
torney generals Office, and Messrs
John DOwell and w. II. Brown the
plaintiffs.
The suit was to recover $4,000 for
extra work done on the land Office in
1856, and which account was allowed
by the commissioners who had the
building in charge, though the con-
tract called for $4,000 building.
The Nichols es ate commended that in
asmuch as the state got the benefit of
the material and labor which repre-
scented the excess, and in view of the
fact that the Twenty-third legisla-
ture gave the plaintiff heirs authority
to sue the state, that they should have
judgment as prayed for.
Mr.. Trice relied upon the cOnstitu
tiOn of 1916, section 7, which provided
that there must be q specific law
authorizing contractors and builders
to go beyond the original contract
The constitution of 1876 reiterates the
provision of that of 1916. The case
will be appealed.
