SUSSEX COURT SUSTAINED.
IMPORTANT DECISION BY THE
SUPREME COURT.

ACTION GREW OUT OF A FAILURE
IN SUSSEX AND RESULTED IN
TINE OVERRULING OF THE CASE
. or FORBEs VS.. ENGLAND.
Special Dispatch Evening Journal
Dover Jan. 19.-To-day the Supreme
Court handed down adecision sustaining
the Judgment CT the Superior Court OF
Sussex county in the appeal case on
Fait and Siag.e Company, Of Balti-
more. vs. Joseph d. Truxton, late
sheriff OF Sussex county. Judge ad
Litem Edward Rldgely read the opin-
ion which is regarded as one Of the
ablest Of resent times. United States
District Attorney Lewis G. Vandegrft
and A. f. Polk represented the plain
tihs below, defendants, while Charles
r. Richards and Charles w. Cullen
Represented the sheriff.
This action grew out of the failure
of Morrow & CoulbOurn. The plain
tns below had sold them a lot Of tin
cans Of which there was at least 97,'
600 on hand at the time of the failure
These were seized under the executions
issued on confessed judgments OF Nor
row & CoulbOurn. The Baltimore com.
pany took out a writ OF replevin and
took the goods from the sheriff. He then
gave a property bondand kept them ano
sold them. He WAS indemnined by Nor
row & Cbulbourn's creditors. The plain
tin's bill alleged that the cans had beer
obtained by fraudulent representations
and consequently they were entitled &c
retake them.
The interesting part Of the case from
a legal standpoint was the fact that the
Superior Court, in the previous case OF
Forbes VS.. England, had decided that
an execution creditor under the cir
cumstances detailed above, was entitled
to the goods. This decision was az
tackled by Mr.. Vandegrift below, anC
practically overruled by the court. Th'
Supreme Court sustained the court il
overruing the case against England
BY reason Of the fact that Judg
Boyce had been counsel below, AM
that the chies Justice. with Judge
Gfubb and Pennewill, sat below, 1t onk
left two judges, the chancellor an
Judge spruhnce to sit in the suprem

MEETING OF COKMITTsES
BOARD OF TRADE AND COUNCIL
COMMITTEES DISCUSSED NEW
CITY CHIARTER IlAST NIGHT

COMlMuTIEtS Discussed NEW
CITY CHARTER LAST NIGHT
City Council and the Board of Trade
committee having in charge the franz
ing of new city charter met last
night in Council chamber and discuss
ed the proposed bill.
The members Of the Board of Trade
present were: John S. Rossell, A. S,
Reed, Joseph L. Carpenter. Jr., "A. L.
johnson and NJ. p. Satterthwaite. AID
the members OF Council were present
with the exception of Mr.. Fisher and
Mr. Robertson. Mr.. ROssen acted as
spokesman for the committee, and he
went carefully over the bill, and ex-
p.ained the changes that have been
made in it since it was originally
drafted. The members Of Council lis
tened with great interest snd several
asked question which bore directly on
the new charter.
Several prominent politicians Of the
city were present and appeared greatly
interested in the subject.
Mr. Rcssell, after explaining the
changes, read a statement Of the sal
aries paid city officials at present, anG
those that would be paid under the
new charter if passed. He said that
the list of salaries was determined af-
ter a careful consideration by business
men, who were of the opinion that the
work of the city could be done with a
much smaller force of clerks and off.
cials than there is now on the pay
rolls Of the various departments, anc
that the one item Of salaries alone
could be reduced probably about 40 pei
cent If after the new charter was
in force and it was found there were
not enough employees in some Of the
departments Council could easily regu.
late that by ordering the employment
Of extra men.
Upon being asked why the members
Of the executive board, which consti.
INeNN~1 NhN ANHAe Vi inc NaAAbuo uNIdIt
ments, should not be elected by tht
people instead Of being appointed by
the mayor, Mr.. Rossell said that if The
executive board was elected by tn,
people it would result in putting III,
government into the hands Of the poll
ticians. The board would be com
posed, possibly, entirely OF the sam,
party that elected the mayor, wherea.
under the provisions of the charter no
more than three members of the board
including the mayor himself, could b,
of the same political party; therefor,
the affairs Of the city would be ad
ministered by bipartisan board, anC
the question Of politics would not en-
ter, but everything would be run upor
a business basis.
The committee presented a compare
tive statement showing the salarie
and compensation now paid by the cit.
and the amount that would secure tn,
same services under the proposed char
ter.
