One of Judge B.x'er's Legacles-An Insurance Case Dr elded Against the riautcru' Co. In tbe United StnUs Supreme tji uii yeeiiruay cases oi tUeu con corn to onr ntlg'iborirg tojrn of Brownsville were tailed up and ar gued. I be firct was tbe cape ol Nor ton aga'nt the T.xing District of Brownsville, which presents featurvs not orily ol interest to the lawjerbut to the general reader. It appears tbat prior to the aioption of the con a'ltu ion ol 1872 the city of Krowceville Lad ordered an elec tion to decide whether its citiiens favored the voting of bonds to a i roim teU railroad. The cons ! tntion of 1872 went into effect the day U .1 1 m. . utioro me enjcuon. ine next day tbe people voted on the proposition, and it was carried in favor of ii suing the bonds. Aftei wards the bonds were i?sued and delivered atd default made ln tbe payment of interest and principal. Suit was brought, and the TAXING DIWniCT Or BROWNHVII I nised the difenee that the- bonds were nni.wiuliy itsitd and void, ii csusi bu:u as:urauoe was in con. tl ct with the cunsiitutl.n in 1872, wuicu was ooerauvs at tnat t m. lie cKee was heard by the late Judxe Bixter, who gave judgment f it toe planum, but on motun for new trial reveised the decision and took the papers into his Doasession for thn purpose oi proparinn a decision. B- lore toe opiuion was written JUDUB BAXTER DllfD, and action on the cade ouRnnnilml uaiil yestmday. Judges Jackson and tiamainna aitreed not to .litmh J udge B ixter's decision, hence there was a pro forma jury and verdict for defendant, plaintiffs taking a writ of error to toe supreme Uourt of the unuea euies. two other CASES OV EQUAL IMl'OBTANCB against tbe sime district were also ntatd, involving nice questions of law. 1 ney are L,oairue. admiuifitrator. aeainst thn T.xing District of Browns ville, and Devereaux, against the same corporation. The! points in these cases Bre : woes a l utiirraent air nut th city oi .Brownsville nave to ba re vived aijainst the Taxiog D.etrktof firownsviue before mandamnn ran issuer it it does, then bf ira th judgment could be revived the statute oi limitations miebt run in and dt-fnat the claim. The other question is still more delicate, Durins two vr T : 1 1 1 1 " 7 uruwuarmo uau no government and nobody to serve process on. Thn question ia, are these two years to be aeaucieu in computing the time when tne statute of limitations will takn effect J ndge Jackson took the papers wim mm ami wiu prepare an opinion, which will be returner! herA at an early day. It wili doubtless be await ed with interest, not only by lawyers, but laymen, especially residents of xtrownsvii.e. The case against THB PLANTBRfl INSURANCE COMPANY, of Memphip, was also interesting, and involves a loss to the company, due to a negligent nnsstatemmt of an agent. It appears that in March, 1881, the compan v received a letter from Jordan, Lovett & Co., Bofton inturance brok ers, that read as follows: "Gentlemen We would like VOUr oolic.v fnr anv part of $2500 at 3 per cent, on the i.arkin House, at Palalka. Fin. It. stands detached 100 feet from anything except a Congregational Chumh." Believing it a good liBk, the policy was signed. Half the town was snh. eeqnently destroyed by fire, including uie numi. ii men Dtcame known to the company that some months prior to the issuance of the polxy a wirg had been added to the hntl. which shortened the distance between it and other bnildiogs. The company, regarding this as artful decep.ion, n-fusea lo pav the Dollcv. Thn nrnof Bhowed that the broker who secured the policy was ignorant of the change in the buildings, and that such change did not materially add to the risk. The Court. Judsa JaekHon. in- s ructed the jury that they muet find for the plaintiff unless the broker's statement as to dis'ance from other building" was n willful misrepresenta tion of facta. The inrv ancnnlinolr gave Judgment for plaintiff in the sum of $2u00and oos-8. AMUSEMENTS. Tbe New Beoaphla Theater.

The meeting was called to order by Piesident Chase, who an nounced tbe object of the call, which waa to take action in legard tj making some recommendation to Congress as to granting the right to bridge the Mississippi river at this place. Bee- letary Jieeling read the resolutions, wrucu were ouereu ior adoption. lltilore taking a vote on the ques Hon, Ur. 1). T. Porter called on the Hon. .ieti I ay lor, who was present. to explain the bill now before Con-' gross. Mr. Taylor said the bill was ldinti cal with the one granting the right to uie Arancns liruige nd uonttrmtion Ucmpany; that it was not for the ex clu-ive me of any one railroad, but wm for the use of all raiimedi at rates fixed by the Seer tary cf War; that it reinineu tue i gat ior Uongrtes to amend, alter or repeal the bill. So, if any extortion ii attempted, the 8ec rttary of War will have the remedy at nana. nr. Taylor read extracts iroui the report of tte Loaimittee of Com uie:ce, in wnin inn old company claimed to have expended $:i0.000, making aiur.din.ie, etc. The whole mutter seemed to be a speculative scheme, and should not be co tennnivd. Mr. Jno. 8. Toof said that the Ex- cliiiig4 should bs very explicit and suite that no steps have so fur been taken by the old company to build the bridge, and he therefore moved to nmnd the reco'utions t) cover that point, which, being voted on, the reer. lutiors were then read as amended end ui animously adopted as follows: BKflrLCTIOKS.
