HAZARD SUIT AGAINST MEXICO.
Case to Recover s1o,ooo,ooo Argued Before
Court of Appeals.

Albany Feb. 9.-An important case. involving
the right Of a citizen Of this State TO recover
moneys owed TO him by the United States of
Mexico was argued to-day before the Court of
Appeals. 1t is the suit of John @. Hazard, of
Brooklyn to recover from the Mexican Republic
about S10O00.G00 of the defaulted bond issue Of
1865. Hazard secured an attachment, which
was served upon ]. P. Morgan & Co, of New
York the banking firm which is presumed TO
hold securities of the Mexican Government The
Appellate Division, Ist Department. vacated the
attachment. and from that decision Hazard
appealed Franklin Bien appeared for Hazard,
and United States District Attorney Burnett. for
the United States in opposition.
The proceeding is opposed by the United
States Government, the ground that the gov
ernnent of Mexico is a foreign sovereign State,
and that therefore, the courts of New-1ork
State have no jurisdiction to issue an attach
rnent upon any of her property. The case may
be carried to the United States Supreme Court.
