THE ALLEGED SHORTAGE
Subsection Do: In the consolidated suits
OF Morgan q McIlwaine VS.. Barraud and
Harrison vs. Cooke. he was appointed as
commissioner to sell real estate for the
payment Of debts. The DEGREES authorized
him TO sell in parcels. He sold several par
GELS. but failed TO make any report, al
though requested time after time TO do so.
At length at the January term. 1897.
decree was rendered requiring him to set
tie before commissioner in chancery an
account Of his transactions. on the 9th
day Of March. 1897. he appeared before the
commissioner and reported that he had
only collected 1868 of the purchasers At
the April term a decree was rendered
under which the purchasers were sum-
moned to appear before the commissioner
and they showed by his receipts, that they
had paid him $S59i7. instead of 1869 re-
ported by him. showing a difference OF
$S62.0S, he had appropriated and failed TO
account for.
That by a report filed in the consolidated
suits Of Morgan 81 McIlwaine VS. Barraud
and Harrison VS.. Cooke, and confirmed by
the court. a balance was shown to be I'm
the hands Of the said n. S. Turnbull.
commissioner. as aforesaid OF $lS2.20.
which amount was promptly paid. That
a subsequent report was made by com
missioner. showing that sums and amounts
had been paid by the purchasers of the
several tracts of land sold in said suit.
made to the said n. 5. Turnbull. would
appear TO increase the balance i'm his
hands by the sum of S362.0S. That no no.
tce Of the taking OF this account was
attorney. nor was any statement made
of the balance i'm his hands nor has the
said report been confirmed by the court
No one seems to have observed that n
further balance would apparently result
from said report until very recently, GER
tainly not before December. 1897 nor was
the same brought TO the attention Of the
said n. ;. Turnbull, or his attorney. until
the said report was introduced in evidence
before your committee. That the said r..
i. Buford, after perceving that a balance
would apparently result from said report.
did not inform the said y. S. Turnbull,
or his attorney, OF the same prior to in
PRODUCING the said report in evidence be-
fore your committee. nor had any other |
person informed them, or either of them.
Since which time the papers in the said !
causes have been in the hands OF your
committee, and the said n. S. Turnbull |
has had no opportunity 10 ascertain |
therefrom the correctness Of the said re-
port in this particular.
Your committee further reports that as |
to his transactions as commissioner in |
suits aforesaid, after conside- |
ration of the entire evidence adduced. |
they are of the opinion, and so report. |
that there is nothing to justify any re-
Election upon the moral character Of the
Hon. n. s. Turnbull.
