quotation already given from that au-
thor says that ''if a State should be
divided in respect to territory its rights
and obligations are not impaired; and If
they have not been apportioned by
agreement, those rights are to be en-
joyed and those obligations fulfilled by
all the parts in common" Not word

State Of Virginia was only tenant in
common with West Virginia in all the
public works Improvements and prop
erty OF the original undivided State, and
had no authority to ALLEVIATE, sell, give
away or dispose OF any of the public
works, and being in possession and
holding them for her own exclusive use
and benefit, by ousting West Virginia,
she would be bound TO account TO the
latter for her share. This would seem
to be the legitimate conclusion from the
authorities relied on by Judge Meredith,
even admitting their applicability to the
case under consideration, which we do
not concede by any means, and, there
fore, with this reference we pass them
by.
We think we take a more practical
view ofthe subject, and one which will
attain all the ends of justice The table
accompanying this report shows that
the bonded debt on the first day OF Jan
uary, 1861, represented money borrowed
and expended in improving the State by
canals, railroads, turnpike, plank reads
and bridges. All these expenditures
conferred a local and special benefit,
We're expended, not only by the outlay
OF the money in creating market and
stimulating enterprise and trade, but in
otherwise developing the resources oil

equal to the general benefit to the State
