supreme Court Decisions.

In the supreme court at Nashville
last week in the case of r. NJ. Maxwell,
sheriff of Overton county, VS.. the State.
it was held that the sheriff had no
statutory right to employ additional
guards for protecting a prisoner from
mob violence. Maxwell had sued for
$40 fees.
In the case of the State, for use of
Davidson county, VS.. David Crutchfield,
back tax attorney, and others, it was
held that Crutchfeld had no right to
advance money to pny delinquent tax
advertising and for making abstracts,
transcripts, etc, of property from which
he had made no collections. The opinion
was held that each item of delinquent
tax must bear its own burden of fees
and expenses, and that money derived
from one piece of property could not be
used to advertise or incur expense for
another. This ruling will affect num-
