NOVEL POINT OF LAW.
Sheriff Sued TO Pay a Judgment Out
of His own Pocket.
special TO the jersey Cfty NeHa

MOUNT HOLLY, April 4, 1s95.-A suit
has been instituted against Sheriff Town
send which contains a novel point of law,
and the matter viii probably be settled
at the next term of court.
Some time ago a levy was made upon
the household goods inc personal effects
belonging to Frank RiGgeway of Point
vile TO satisfy a judgment held against
nfm by Wright & Bros, OF this city.
The sale was to have taken place on
March 26, but it having been proved at
nat time that the household goods be-
longed to other parties, the sale was
postponed until Tuesday. IN the mean
time the other property, consisting of
two horses, five wagons ana some har-
ness, had beer sold FOR $500 on chattel
mortgage to William H. Smith. 1t was
discovered that the document did not
specify the consideration of sale, and
when this fact was made known an
other ~mortgase, properly drawn, was
given and recorded.
vile Tuesday to conduct the sale, Law
yer Walter A. Barrows, plaintiffs coun-
sci, gave CIR. Townsend an indemnifying
bond II the sum Of $3.50, as a projection
against the loss that might result from
the selling Of the goods, and at the same
time, knowing that the goods had been
thus disposed of, commanded hin to make

Sheriff is a friendly one, and a writ
has been obtained to show cause why he
