BREACH OF TRUST CHARGED.-The
decision of Judge Pritchard that he
would take Jurisdiction OF the suits
brought by creditors to secure the pay
ment of debts contracted for liquors
furnished to the former state dispensa-
ry of South Carolina, and proceed to in
quire through special masters into the
justness or injustice Of the claims, was
perhaps most interesting to the public
on account of the enunciation of the
principle that the selling Of whisky was
not one of the essential functions of
state government necessary to preserve
its autonomy and maintain its sover-
eighty, and that if a state did engage
in such business and contract debts
therefor 1t could not justly avoid pay
ment on the ground that it could not
be sued. To lawyers, however, and es-
pecially to those interested in the case,
perhaps most Importance attaches to
the ground on which the judge has ac-
tually taken jurisdiction-the theory on
which he takes charge Of the claims
and may perhaps take charge Of the
fund through receivers.
On Saturday Judge Pritchard will
hear argument on the question of
whether or not a receiver shall be ap-
pointed for the fund. and it Is expected
that after the commission has answer
ed on the first Monday in April, mas
ters will be appointed to take evidence
on the facts involved.
The allegations in the Wilson hearing
will be Of a different nature, charging
in effect several breaches of trust, and
1t is on these points that Judge Pritch-
