THE COUPON CASES
Judge eOOkick Releases the Old Judgments.

A number of years ago several of our
merchants rendered tax-receivable cou-
pons cut from bonds issued under the bill
OF 1871 in payment of their licenses
These coupons Were refused and iudg-
ments were rendered against these mer-
chants for doing business without a H.
cense. Subsequently,, the Supreme Court
of the United States decided that these
coupons We're legal tender and that
they should have been received for these
licenses. These judgments, however, were
never released and are docketed and are
liens agains the propertyo of these parties.
The firm of Magrath \ Chesley was one
OF them. Recently, through Mr.. St
George r. Fitzhugh, their attorney, they
petitioned the Corporation court 10 be
relieved of these Judgments. and as they
aud those representing them have kept
the coupons. Judge j. T. Goodrich Tues
day gave an opinion that they should be
released from the Judgment against
them. This opinion. under the law, with
the other papers in the case, will be sent
to the Governor, who will act upon it,
