IL. c. IkeIseY TO be Sued !.

Attorney General Samuel II. Grey has
betn instructed To bring two suits in the
Supreme Court on behalf Of the State.
One OF these is against ex-Secretary Of
State Henry G. Kelsey, To recover S20, 200,
which it is claimed he retained as fees in
violation OF the provisions of the State
statutes The other suit is against the es-
tate Of the late George $. Duryec, former
Commissioner OF Banking and Insurance,
aud is to recover $4,000 on similar
grounds. These suits will be instituted in
time to have the cases heard at the next
tenn Of the Supreme Court In November
The suit against Secretary Kelsey is
indirectly the result OF the Seuate inves-
tigaiion two years ago. 1t is the direct
result OF the joint resolution introduced
by Assomblyman Wilds in the last Legis-
lature, and which was based on the report
OF the Senate Investigating Committee
Mr. Wildcs resolution, which did not
pass, provided that the Attorney General
should institute proceedings to recover
certain fees Of the Prerogative Court,
amounting 10 between SO, coo and 81, 900
a year, which he had retained for his own
use since 1891, but which belonged to the
State and also to recover the interest on
money which it was claimed was retained
in his possession when it should have
been turned over to the State.
The suit will not involve the latter
question. but will deal entirely with the
question OF the fees. The result OF the
suit will depend entirely upon the inter
probation put upon tho laws pertaining
to the Secretary OF States office. Mr..
Kelsey retained the fees upon advice OF
counsel, who told him thnt he was en-
titled to them Attorney General Grey
places different Interpretation upon the
laws and holds that the money should
have gone 10 the State.
