Horner and Stewart, attorneys for
Taylor and his hondsmen. have filed
their answer in the suit of the state
10 yer on the bond. Tue points
made are as follows:
The bond is VOID, first, because it
is excessive. The constitution places
the bond at $25O,OO and the defence
claims that the state extorted an
additional 500, 900 thus vitiating
the entire deed. Second, in case this
point is overruled the defence holds
that the excess oil 500, 900 is certain
Iy void. Third, the defence holds
that 1850, 600 of the amoun default
I'd was stolen during TaN lor's first
term and Is consequently N holden
against his second bondsmen.
Fourth, the law provides that at the
tx expiration OF the first town the rea
uIer shall make n iull and complete
accounting to The governor or other
accounting officer, and t at the terms
of thus settlement shall be endorsed
upon the new bond, and that as
this was not done the new bond was
invalid. Fith, $780, of The de-
fau t came from he floating warrants.
i he defence holds that the issuan Q
OF these warrants was con the
constitutional provision limiting the
Etat e's debt and that this amount
cannot be recovered as it was in no
eense legal state money. The bonds
mems attorneys promise a most Wig
erous fight.
