THE lKlNCHELOE-TOLSON CASE.
Verdict Rendered for the Plaintif-Burg
lar and Horse-Thief.

MANASSAS, VA, March 1O.-(Speclal)-
The case of Kincheloe vs.. TolsOn and
Others was concluded in the County Court
here to-day, having been commenced yes
teriay morning. This case is of some
interest. as besides $500 it also involves
a nice law point. kincheloe was county
Treasurer of Prince William county pre-
yious and up To 1891. TOlson was for
several years Deputy Treasurer. and
failed to make returns Of moneys to the
above amount. Hence Kincheloe's suit
against Tolson and his bondsmen. During
the years 1856, 1887. and 1888 the defalca-
tions occurred, and were settled by Kin
cReloe iW 1889 and 1890. Tolson continued
I'm office. and made other collections and
returns. still leaving the back accounts
unsettled. Kincheloe entered suit against
Tolson and his first bondsmen for the
amount. Their, Tolson desired to apply the
amount collected and paid in 1889 and 1880
TO the former years and throw the
damages against his last bondsmen. While
Tolson acknowledged his Indebtedness, the
polnt was could he apply the money PAID
in one year 10 make up deficiencies or
former years. The jury was instructed by
the Judge. and after over three hours
deliberation, brought in verdict for the
nIafntiff. and decided that the money al
ready paid could be applied at Tolson's
discretion to the first or the last years.
