CONNECTICUT WAR BOUNTIES.
The text of the opinion of the Con-
pecticut supreme court in the Water
bury war bounty case shows that the
court holds that the legislative act re-
pea1ing the statute of limitations APP
plies to enlisted and not to drafted men
like the plaintiff, and that in every case
payment of the bounty during the civil
war must be presumed until the claim
ant proves the contrary. The court also
holds that the recent action Of a Wa
terbury town meeting in favor of the
claimant was invalid, as it was not
authorized by state legislation. The
court does not pass upon the constitu-
tionality Of the law, nor the question
raised that the federal government, not
the state or towns, must provide for
public defence.
The jury took the case late in the af-
ternoon and returned and reported that
they could not agree
