DECISION N THE TILDEN WILL CASE.
APPELLATE DIVISION MoDIFIEs THE JUDGMENT
OF THE LOWER COURT IN REGARD
TO SALE OF BONDS.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court
YESTERDAY handed down a decision modifying
.he Judgment OF che lower court In the
ton brought by John Bigelow and others,
executors Of the will OF Samuel J. Tnden,
against George H. Tilden and others The
action was brought have the accounts OF
the executors judcially settled, and the final judg
rrent directed distribution OF the balance of the
estate IN their hands. The appeal from this judg-
rnent was taken by Mrs. Marie Celeste Stauffer

One question the present appeal to the
power Of the executor and trustees sell these
bonds AID reinvest the proceeds. The lower court
held thai the trustees had no such power. Justice
Ingraham. who writes the opinion OF the court
says that the history OF corporate obligations shows
that such a power is essential, and II may be In
fact expressly provided that II any special trust
shall fail in whole in part through depreciation
Of securities. the loss shall be made good out of
the general estate. This and other clauses imply
such z right the trustees exercised.
The Judgment of the lower court is modified to
that extent, and also so far to exempt the ap-
pellants legacy from paying her portion of COM

JUDGMENT FOR FALSE ARREST UPHELD
APPELLATE DIVISION HANDS DOWN DECISION
CASE OF DIVIDE DUPRE AGAINST
s. s. CHII.Ds

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court yes
terday handed down decision affirming a juds-
ment for $3.50 obtained by Divide Dupre, well
known lawyer Of No. go Broadway, against Sam
Tel S. Childs ct al. The defendants keep a
rant at No. Sl5 Broadway and on May g. 1898, Mr.
Dlpre entered the place to get breakfast. AS he
testified afterward, he women seated some
tables, and them with their
hats He therefore turned walk out. Some
one called on him to stop, but he paid attention
Ralph w. Tuls, the manager. followed him TO
the sidewalk, and informed him that it against
the rules of the house for any to go with
out first speaking the cashier. AS Mr. Duprc
refused go back the manager called policeman
and had him arrested. Sergeant Crowley, at the
Mercer-st. station refused TO hold him. Mr.. Dupre
brought suit for $4,000. and obtained $3.50. from
which the defendant appealed.
Justice Rumsey writes the opinion of the Appel
late Division He says that the point made by the
defence that the manager had right to step
outside and that they were not responsible for
his actions there is not sufficient. The manager
was the firms representative and if a check had
been paid he would have been fully justified in
following delinquent customer out to the side
walk Justice Ingraham writes dissenting opn-
ion. and Justice Mclaughlin concurs with him.

Columbia, Docembar II Special:
Here is another case of 81 told You
So" Year after year the General
Assembly has been warned about the
utter disregard Of the Constitution
in passing special Legislation. Mem
bers have gotten up on the floor and
announced that perhaps the legisla-
tion was special and contrary to the
spirit of the Constitution, but have
left it for others to test the matter
and 60 to the trouble of fight
through the Courts.
The vuestion has been asked what
the members Of tho General Assem-
IDLY would have to do at the coming
session. A prominet member of the
Senate and one woll up Oh constitu-
'tional matters remarked to. day that
Ia good portion of the time will have
to be spent undoing the mistakes
that had been made and trying to
straighten out the laws and get
around the decision that hae just
been filed in case from Spart'.nburg
County. The decision is far. reach
ing and many think will be revolu-
tionary in future legislation. The
?. decision says: 'In order that law
may he. general it must be of force
in every county in the State, and
while it may contain special pro.
visions mrking it effects different in
certain counties those counties can.
not be made exempt from it's entire
operation"
Everyone knows how general is
rthe provision "this Act shall not ap
ply to this and that cou aty."
There is often a mad scramble on
the part Of members to have their
counties exempted from the provis
ions of certain Acts and if the statutes
he examined it will be found tina,
over half Of the Acts of any one ses
sion, which have anything to do with
county affairs, make different pro
visions for the different counties en-
tlrely regardless Of the provisions a.

Members Of the Bar regard the de-
cision just filed as one of the most
important in recent years and one
which is liable to be of decided effect
The Court is unanimous in it's
opinion. The opionion is written by
Associate Justice Gary and Mr.. Asso.
ciate Pope concurs in the result.
The decision of the Court reads as
follows:
The record contains tho following
statement of facts:
Geo. B. Dean is, and was at the
times hereinafter stated sheriff of the
county of Spartanburg. In the fall
OF 1893 he presented to the supervisor
and county board of commissioner
for the county of Spartanburg his
account against the county of Spar
tanburg and among other itens there
in charged against the county was a
bill for dieting prisoners, in his
charge, for the month of June, 1893
the said account for such dieting
being made out at 30 cents per day
for each prisoner. In due course of
business the account was acted upon
by the supervisor and county board
of commissioners. and the account
for dieting prisoners for that month
was reduced by amount of sixty seven
and ninety one. hundreds dollars, the
rate allowed by the said supervisor
and commissioner being twenty cents
instead of thirty cents, as charged.
From the decision of the said supervi-
sor and board of commissioners dis.
sllowing his claim as presented, Geo.
1. Dean appealed to the Circuit
Court for Spartanburg County.
His Honor, the Circuit Judge, dis
Pissed the appeal, whoreupon the
plaintiff appealed to this Court on
the following exceptions:
l, Because the proper construction
Of the various Acts relating to the
fees Of sheriff for dieting prisoners,
to wit: Section 2.1G1 of Revised
Statutes Of 1803-the Act of March
8, 1800-the Act of March 2. 1897
the Act of February 1G. 1903 and
the Act Of February 10. is that under
the law of South Carolina at this
time the legal fees for dieting prison
'ers in spartanburg County are thirty
(3O) cents per day, and that the
Circuit Judge erred in not 30 hold
ing.
2. Because the Circuit Judge erred
in not holding that the legal fees for
dieting prisoners in Spartanburg
County are thirty cents per day, for
the reason that the Acts of 1896, 1897,
particularly the Act of March Q, 1897,
are unconstitutional and void in that
