The decision in the Superior Court on
Saturday last in the case Of Leslie schreitz
at the suit of the State of Delaware sus-
tains the action and decision Of Squire
Ferguson In the well-remembered Hukill-
Gilpin case, and is great qualification to
the Squire and his friends. It will be re-
called that DR.. Gilpin in his individual
capacity as trustee Of the Academy
brought suit for trespass against Mr..
Schreiiz. an employe of Mr.. G. IE. Hukill,
who was painting the sign on the Town
Hall next to the property held by the trus-
tees for educational purposes Of this
conamWnsts6 Squire Ferguson decided
against DR.. Gilpin and the latter imme-
diately brought suit for similar action
before Squire Salmon at Summit Bridge.
NJ. B. Burris, Esq, attorney for Mr.. Hukill,
took the case to the Superior Court on
certiorari. There were four errors assigned,
the principal one of which, was that the
case had been heard and determined by
Squire Ferguson. and could only be re-
tried on an appeal to the Superior Court;
therefore it being Res Judicata," Squire
Salmon had no jurisdiction and unlawfully
entertained the suit. Moreover Justices Of
the Peace guilty of such conduct are
liable to impeachment and punishment
The errors assigned by Mr.. Burris. at
torney for Mr. Hukill who stood for his
rights back of his employe, were all fatal,
but the Court reversed the judgment Of
Squire Salmon on one of the minor errors.
Squire Ferguson is receiving congratula-
tions.
The action In this case more than all else
for years has brought the people of the
town to consider their present rights in the
property and funds held by the trustees Of
the Academy for educational purposes. If
ever the children of the town needed the
school advantages those funds would give
it is now; if ever the tax payers of the
town needed relief from taxation it is now.
This is said with all due respects to the
trustees; men differ in opinions, and every
tax payer is interested in this matter and
should have an opinion.
