counsel for the Oak Grove commissioners.
This was inferred from what transpIred
IN court yesterday and today the fact was
admitted by Nj Huxley, who explained
that II l. the intention Of his clients, the

That would afford an opportunity to get
the matter before the United States Su-
preme Court should the Oak Grove
people desire TO do so

test could b. made III that behalf
The Supreme Court of Delaware viii
meet in Dover on January 20, and it is
likely that the case will come before it
at that time, though great deal Of pre-
liIninary work will devolve upon counsel,
who viii have to get all Of the proceedings

Mr.. Huxley stated that he will give
supcrsedeas bond which will operate as
a stay in the making and serving Of the
peremptory writ of mandamus, which
the Superior Court issued yesterday.
This writ requires the Oak Grove com
missioners to deliver the property 10 the
county Board Of Education on January
