sent notice through their attorney to
stockholders in this town and vicinity,
of which there are about one half dozen,
that they had gone into receivers
hands. The reason assigned was that
the Judge of the Court of Appeals in
that city had decided they were doing
business under usurious principles
under the laws of Maryland, and there
tunately, the loss here seems not likely
to fall very heavy, but yet sufficient
to startle and cause little breeze. The
natural query is now, if this be the
true reason, under our laws what is
the status of Delaware Building and
Loans? Most of the stock here had
been running about 81 years.
