On Thursday evening next (Thanksgiv
ing night) the Irish Jasper Greens have s
delightful military hop at their armory, and
the arrangements already perfected indicate
that it will take precedence of the many
pleasant social affairs given by this excel
lent corps. The company have decided, at
the request of many friends, to dispose of a
limited number of tickets, which may be
obtained from auy of the committee-
Lieut. Reilly, Chairman. Sergeant
Reynolds, Corporal McCarthy, Privates
O’Neill, Ray, T. A. McMahon,
empt member W. H. Snyder, or from
auy of the officers. This action of the
Greens affords the opportuui'y to those
partial to the pleasures of the dance, of en
joying a very charming evening, and as the
tickets are limited we would advise all such
to call upon the committee and secure the
necessary “pasteboard” without delay. We
tender the Chairman our acknowledgments
for an Invitation to be present on the occa
sion.

The Danite*.
On Sa*urdaj T evening next, as will be ob
served by advertisement elsewhere, McKee
Rankin, supported by Miss Kitty Blanchard
and a fine company, will produce at our
theatre Joaquin Miller’s play of “Danites,”
which was given with such success here last
season. The Louisville Courier expresses the
following opinion: “The drama is the great
est. ever written upon a distinctly American
subject, and its presentation by Mr. McKee
Rankin and Miss Kitty Blanchard, together
with their superb company, is worthy the
play, the playright and the theme. A hap
pier combination of excellent actors it
would be diffi-ult to conceive, much less
find. It nr'uht well be said that each and
every one are stars, from Bunker Hill and
Grasshopper Juke to Sandy himself.”
The piece will be mounted in the best
style, with new sceuery and a powerful
caste. There will be a matinee on Satur
day afternoon, when the price of admi-sion
will be fifty cents. Reserved seats will be
sold at Bren’s.

We take pleasure iu calling the attention
of farmers and planters to the advertise
ment headed “Fertilizers,” in another col

who is well known in this city, has perfected
arrangements of the strongest character, by
which he will be enabled to supply fertili
zers of unequaled excellence. He has had
ten years’ experience and a thorough
knowledge of the business, and the reputa
tion of the brands originated and introduced
bv him is a guarantee that the brands he
now offers are in every respect what he
represents them to be—first class articles.
Mr. DeLeon’s office is at 102 Bay street, Sa

A yarrow Escape from a Terrible
Death.
On Friday Mrs. Bryan, living on Lover’s
Lane, having occasion to go out on business
for a short time, left her two children alone
in the house. During her absence the
clothes of the youngest child, aged two
years, became ignited while she wasplaying
too near the fireplace, and the little inno
cent would have been burned to death but
for the fortunate appearance of a colored
man. He beard the screams of the child,
and rushing into the house succeeded in
extinguishing the burning dress, thus sav
ing the little one from a terrible fate.
Christmas Entertainment.
The Savannah Turn Verein will observe
Christmas in their usual social style, an en
tertainment having been arranged, which

tion of a mammoth Christmas tree, laden

tion cf which will be a pleasant and con
spicuous feature, and finally a hop for the
Verein and their friends, which will be a de
lightful termination of tho evening s fes
tivities.

The Amateu- Pedestrian Contest.
The great amateur pedestrian contest
came off at St. Andrew’s Hall, Broughton
street, corner of Jefferson, Saturday evening,
aud attracted an immense crowd, the hall be
ing filled to its capacity. The “walk” com
menced promptly at seven o’clock, the terms
b» ing that the one who rnatje five miles in
the shortest time should carry off the pri?e,
a i>urse of §10. Nearly all the contestants,
ten In number, were Central Railroad em
ployes, and hence great interest was felt
among the railroad workmen in the result
of the contest. A striog band was present,
and added to the enthusiasm by their play
ing.
Messrs. II. G. Everitt and H. G. Black
were the judges, and Fred Kaulinau time
keeper, aud the arrangements for the con
test were adopted with a view to facilitate
the result aud at the same time accord
entire fairness to each and every one.
The ball opened with Messrs. J. E. Everitt
and E Waller on the track, who started off
at the signal iu fine style, and did some “tall
walking,” as it were, but on the third round
Waller knocked off the heel of one of his
shoes and retired from the “field” in dis
gust. They were, according to the ar
rangements, to have been followed by
Messrs. J. McDonough and C. H- B.
Thorpe, then C. B. Brigham and Michael
Dunn, then Frank Harris aud Richard Siday,
and, finally, by R. F. Downing aud Daniel
O’Nt ill. Messrs. Harris and O’Neill, how
ever, withdrew, and thus left only seven
contestants, who, with the first exception,
walked singly. Uuderthisarrangementit will
be seen there were several matches in one,and
each was watched with Interest, the adhe
rents of the contestants warmly cheering
them on their tramp. There was considera
ble betting in small amounts, and feeling
ran pretty high, though considering the
large crowd present the order was excel
lent, and nothing occurred to mar in the
least the pleasure of the spectators.
The last of the contestants finished his
five miles at exactly quarter to twelve
o’clock, when the announcement of the
time was made aud Michael Dunn was de
clared the winner of the prize, having made
the five miles in 47 minutes 25 seconds.
The announcement was received with ap
plause, and the victor was warmly congratu
lated by his late competitors and bis many
friends who were in the assemblage.
The following is a record of the time
made bv each contestant, the walk of five
miles requiring him to make a complete
circuit of the hall l^o times.

The final fate Qf the laborers’ liens on the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad property has
long been the subject of earnest discussion,
and great interest has been felt in
the matter. It will be remembered
that when Justice Bradley rendered his
decree ordering the sale of the road
there was a difference of opinion among
the legal fraternity in reference to the dis
position of the laborers’ liens. By some it was
contended that the majority or all of them
would be thrown out under the decree, the
law In reference to recording and verifying
said liens not having been complied with.
Others were of the opinion that the decision
could be construed favorably to the interests
of the laborers. It would appear that the
Justice himself was not fully advised pre
cisely as to what under the law is necessary
to give these Hens priority, as this question
was referred to Hon. Rufus E Lester,
master in chancer}’, and he was instructed
to investigate and report upon these claims.
Tfle order confirming the sale of the road
on the 4th of November was passed in the
United States Circuit Court on Wednesday
last, as was mentioned in the proceedings
of the court that day, and as the order for
the final distribution of the funds
realized by the said 6ale under the de
cree is next anticipated, the report of
the master on the laborers’ liens will be
read with great interest. We have already
briefly alluded to the fact that the report
had been made, and was favorable to the
laborers. The master, after a thorough and
exhaustive review of the law and the facte,
declares that “the right to have the lien
recognized and allowed being a matter of
proof and not of pleading, I hold that any
intervention of a laborer or material man Is
good, if put in at any time before distribu
tion, if it is otherwise valid, and the statuto
ry requirement of bringing 6uit within
twelve months does not apply to a
case like the present,” and fur
ther, that “a laborer’s lien arises
upon the completion of his contract
of labor, and recording, etc., is a fact not
necessary to its existence and therefore
need not be proved.” The great interest
that is felt in this matter will ensure a care
ful perusal of this able report, which we
present, herewith in full:
REPORT OF MASTER IN CHANCERY.
Morris K Jesup, trustee, etc., complain
ant, and the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad
Company, defendant. Iu equity in Fifth
C ; rcuit Court United States, Southern Dis
trict of Georgia.
To the Honorable the Judges oj the Fifth
Circuit Court qf the United States for the
Southern District of Georgia :
The order of reference made by this court
by which I was appointed a master in chan
cery to investigate and report upon certain
claims against the defendant is in the fol
lowing words:
“Aud whereas, various persons have inter
vened for their interest, claiming to have
liens against the property of the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad Company, as laborers,
mechanics or material men, or claiming to
have an equity to be paid out of the moneys
in the hands of the receivers therein, before
the payment of the said bonds, secured by
the said mortgages, aud the said interven
tions having been heard and considered, it
is further ordered, adjudged and decreed,
that as to all claims of laborers and me
chanics, who have furnished labor and ma
terials in aud upon the said railroad and its
appurtenances prior to the appointment of
said receivers, which by the laws of Georgia
entitle them to liens therefor, and who have
taken the proper steps required by said laws
to perfect said liens by having the same re
corded or otherwise verified within the time
prescribed by law, such claims shall be and
are hereby declared to be liens on the said
property, and the proceeds thereof superior
to the said mortgage excuted and given to
Eugene Kelly and Samuel A. Strang, but
not superior to the other mortgages herein
mentioned; but the claims of those who
have furnished materials only, but not as
laborers and mechanics, although entitled
to liens therefor, shall be postponed to all
the said mortgages herein mentioned, and
no allowance i6 made or to be paid from the
proceeds or from the money in the receivers’
bauds to any other person than to those
who may have such liens as aforesaid; nor
to the assiguee of those claiming to have
liens unless the assignments were made after
tne liens were perfected respectively. Aud
it is hereby referred to Rufus E. Lester,
Esq , a master in chancery, appointed for
this purpose to examine the said claims and
report to this court with all convenient
6peed such as are Hens as aforesaid and the
respective priorities according to the terms
of this reference.”
A question is made as to what is actually
Referred to the decision of the master
by this decree. It is contended on
the one h^utf that the pourt has
In its decree already determined
that a laborer, a mechanic, and a material
man have no liens upon the property of the
employer that would entitle either of them
to share as a preferred creditor in its dis
tribution by a court of equity unless steps
have been taken to assert the lien by com
plying with some statutory requirement
after the contract of labor has been com
pleted, such as having the lien recorded or
verified, according to some prescribed form.
On the other hand it Is contended that the
terms of the reference are not so circum
scribed as this. But that it is left to the
master to determine, without restriction,
what constitutes these several liens un er
the laws of the State, and to report to the
court the claims of this character that are
entitled to priority in this distribution. The
latter must be the meaning of the reference,
because, it seems to me, that it would have
been useless for the court to have' referred
the question at all to a master, if the court
was at the time fully advised precisely as
to what, under the law, is necessary to give
these liens. Besides the opinion of the
Judge who made the decree, delivered a
few days before the decree was made, and
havtug reference to this very subject, indi
cates that he desired to be informed, for the
purposes of a final distribution under decree,
what the law and practice of the State is in
respept to these claase? of Iieps.
I have, therefore, concluded that the order
of reference requires me to investigate all
the claims of laborers, mechanics and ma
terial men, without confining myself to
those where attempts have been made to re
cord or otherwise verify them.
Accordingly, I have examined all the
claims of this character, aud have made
schedules of them, which are hereto at
tached. And lest I may be mistaken in my
construction of my powers under the
reference, I have made a separate schedule
of such claims as have been recorded or
otherwise verified in statutory form. I find
no distinction between the lien of a laborer,
iu the ordinary sense of the word, and a
mechanic-laborer, so far as the lien upon the
property of their employer is concerned. I
have not, therefore, made any distinction in
this respect in the schedules. 45Ga.,5G4.
I find the term laborer to be a very broad
term, and to embrace all the persons men
tioned in the schedules haying reference to
labored liens.
Oliver vs. Boehm, Bendheim 6c Co. (de
cision of the Supreme Court of Go., Feb.
term, 1879); Baylis vs. LaFayette W. B.
R. R. Co., (Circuit U. S. Dist. Indiana,
1S79. The Reporter, vol. 8., No. 19, p. 579.)
I find further that the Hen of a
laborer upon all the property of
his employer depends upon his em
ployment, the performance of the work
by him and the completion of his contract
of labor, and not upon recordation or
verification in auy form; and that neither
recbr4atibp or verification according to
any statutory form pr in any mapnef is ne
cessary to the recognition and allowance of
the lien by a court of equity upon the dis
trlbution of the employer’6 property among
his creditors.
My reasons for these conclusions are as
follows:
The constitution of 1868 reads thus
“Mechanics and laborers shall have Hens
upon the property of their employers for
labor performed or material furnished, and
the Legislature shall provide for the sum
mary enforcement of the same.” The con
stitution, therefore, gives the lien, and it de
pends upon the performance of the labor and
not upon the pursuit of a statutory remedy
for its summary enforcement.
The act of the Legislature of 1869, pam p.
35, passed for the purpose of carrying this
provision of the constitution intp effect, uses
the very wbrds of 'the constitution and‘de
clares the laborer’s lien “superior in
dignity to all other liens except
factors’ and mechanics’ liens and
such other liens as summary reme
dies are provided for In Irwin’s Revised
Code, and for debts due the public, but
shall be of equal dignity with the liens last
mentioned.” The statute then provides that
these liens may be enforced in the manner
prescribed in the Code for the summary en
forcement of Hens against steamboats. Now
there is nothing in this to indicate that the
lien shall not exist unless the laborer shall
undertake to enforce it by the summary
remedy provided. The evident meaning of
the constitution and of the statute is that
laborers shall be a privileged clas§ and Qh{ff}
have liens upon the properin of the employej:
in addition to their personal claim upon
him; and, as a further and distinct privi
lege, and not as a restriction upon the right,
they shall have the additional and further
means of enforcing the Hen by summary
process. The act of 1873, pam. p. 42, em
bodied in the Code of 1873, declared in ex
press words that the lien of laborers shall
arise upon the completion of their contract
of labor. Code, section 1976.
ft further provides that' these liens shall
npt exist against bona fide purchasers with 7
out notice anti! tbp same arc reaqced to
execution and levied by an officer. Code,
section 1976.
The clear inference from this, independ
ently of the express words of the statute, Is
that against all other persons except a pur
chaser of the property without notice, the
Hens east before any effort is made to fore-
. cloee It,
Now if recordation, foreclosure, etc., were I
necessary to create the perfect lien, they
would be made to rank from the *
date of foreclosure. But as I have
shown, the Code declares that they arise
upon the Completion of the contract of
labor. Again, the act of 1873 (Code, sec
tions 1990 and 1091.) says that the liens on
real property “shall be foreclosed” In a par
ticular manner specified in the act, and that
liens on personal property “shaH be fore
closed” in another particular manner. Now
there is nothing else in this act in reference
to verifying or recording this kind of lien,
except that specified as to the manner of
foreclosing. How can a Hen be foreclosed
that does not exist ? The existence of a
lien is one thing, its foreclosure for the pur
pose of enforcing it in a particular way is
another and a very different thing. The
language used in sections 1990 and 1991 of
the Code In reference to the foreclosure of
Hens is precisely the language used In sec
tions 3962 and 3971 in reference to the fore
closure of mortgages on real and personal
property. The language of section 3971 is:
“Mortgages on personal property ‘shall be
foreclosed’ in the following manner.” The
language of section 3962 is the same for
real estate. The language of section 1991
Is: “Liens on real property, not mortgages,
‘ahaU be foreclosed’ * * as foUows.”
Section 1991 is the same for personalty.
Nowtheieis no more reason to suppose
that a laborer’s lien depends upon its fore
closure for its existence or validity than
there is to suppose that a mortgage depends
upon its foreclosure for it6 existence or
validity. The Supreme Court of Georgia
has decided on at least two occasions that
the judgment upon a proceeding to fore
close a mortgage has no Hen as .a judgment,
that the lien comes from a mortgage itself.
Butt vs. Maddox, 7 Ga., 495; Horton vs.
Clark, 40 Ga., 412.
If there could be any doubt about this
question our Supreme Court has decided in
accordance with the plain meaning of the
statute that the laborer’s lien attaches from
the time the work is done, and is not
postponed untU foreclosure. Camp & Kemp
vs. Mayor et al.. 47 Ga., 427 (vi.); Walls
vs.Rutherford, 60 Ga., 440.
Can it be maintained that if the Legisla
ture had failed to provide for the summary
enforcement of these liens as the constitu
tion requires, the lien would not exist ? If
not, it is difficult to understand how the
failure to pursue the summary remedy
when provided can affect Its existence.
It is very questionable if a laborer’s lien,
that is, his general lien, can be foreclosed
under the act of 1873. His general Hen is
upon aU the property of his employer. The
Supreme Court has decided (43 Ga., p. 9,)
that no specific property need be described
in a laborer’s affidavit to foreclose hi6 lien,
nor in the execution; because the lien is a
general one upon all property. Now, the act
of 1873 provides two separate and distinct
ways of foreclosing liens according as the
property is real property or personal prop
erty. No way is provided for foreclosing
a general lien upon all property; yet this is
the kind of a li*n a laborer has. The act
of 1869 did provide a method of foreclosing
these liens without regard to the character
or class of the property upon which the
execution was to be levied. But it is con
tended that the act of 1869 was repealed by
the act of 1873, at least so far as remedies
are concerned. If all this be true, it would
follow clearly that there is no summary way
provided for verifying or enforcing suen
liens, and if not, it would be a vaiu thing
for a court to say to the laborer, bring me
our liens verified in the manner prescribed
»y the Btatute for their summary enforce
ment.
It Is clear that the act of 1873 does not
irovide for the summary enforcement of
lens upon anything but real and personal
property. But a railroad, its appliances, ap
purtenances and franchises are perhaps
neither personalty or realty, yet it is prop
erty and capable of supporting a lien upon
it, although an execution issuing from a
judgment obtained in the ordinary
formB of law cannot be levied upon
it. (See 57 Ga., 340.j Indeed, the
judgment itself is void for the purpose of
its enforcement. It requires the interposi
tion of a court of equity, or the exercise of
equitable powers by a court of law to mould
and fashion a judgment so as to accomplish
the sale of a railroad and its appurtenances.
Now, If a laborer should foreclose his lien
in the ordinary form, either under the act of
1S73, or under the act of 1869, or under any
statute, it would be void, in so far as it
might affect a railroad. Hence, there is no
summary remedy provided for foreclosing a
lien of this kind against a railroad, and
hencp I say the law of Georgia does not re
quire the laborer to take any steps to per-
Ject his lien against a railroad In order that
It may be recognized as a valid lien.
If this lien exists, it should be recognized
by the court having charge of the distribu
tion. If it be true as contended on the one
6ide that the laborer must resort to the sum
mary remedy provided by the statute for
the purpose of perfecting the lien, it would
follow that if his lien was not thus per
fected before the court of equity took
charge of the property by its receiver, it
could not be recognized by the court at all;
because the court having taken jurisdiction
over the property for the. benefit of all the
creditors for the purpose of distribution, be
comes the trustee for all, and cannot permit
one creditor to acquire a subsequent ad
vantage over another; but must distribute
it according to the priorities existing at the
time of placing the property in the hands of
the receiver; or at any rate from the time
of the assignment of the property by
the debtor to the receiver under the order
o' court. High on Receivers, 291, sec. 423,
6 N. Y., 236.
It is a maxim that the law will not force
any one to do a thing which would be vain
and fruitless. Broom’s Legal Max., 231.
Then why should a court send the laborer
away, to return again with a claim verified
in the form prescribed by law ? What pur
pose does this serve ? Is It that a laborer
may acquire a lien by perfecting it ? This
cannot be, as has already been shown. Is it
that the court may have evidence of the ex
istence of the lien ? This cannot be the pur
pose, unless such evidence is the only possi
ble form by which a fact of this kind may
be proved. I know of no law or principle
of practice which would make the proceed
ings provided by the statute for the sum
mary enforcement of a lien the only and ex
clusive evidence of the existence of the lien.
On the contrary, the law is otherwise.
A court of t-quity will recoguize and give
validity to a lien upon the distribution of a
fund without foreclosure. Sims vs. Kidd,
35 Ga., 627.
This case was where land had been sold by
a Sheriff under a common law ti. fa., and the
mqney brought into court for distribution
(distribution under such circumstances be
ing under the laws of Georgia an equitable
proceeding). A, holding a mortgage on the
land, without attempting to foreclose it,
made the fact known to the court by inter
vention, and although his right to share in
the distribution without foreclosing was
contested, the court allowed his lien and
gave him the fund on his mortgage. I have
already shown that there is no difference
between a mortgage and a laborer’s lien in
respect to the fact of the existence of either
before foreclosure, and this will show how
perfectly in point this decision is.
In the case of Loudon, assignee, vs. Cole
man, 59 Ga., 653-659—(xxv.) this languag*-
Is.used: “ Though under the special circum
stances of this case the machinist’s lien can
have effect upon the proceeds of the prop
erty without having been established by a
prior judgment, yet, in asserting the eame
against such proceeds, all the facts neces
sary to the existence of the lien n^ust be
proved.’!
This shows that the recognition of the lien
is matter of proof only in the court where the
distribution is to be made, and it is neces
sary only that the proof go to the existence
of the lien ; and unless the recording or veri
fying the lien in some way be necessary to
tne existence of the lien, it is not necessary
to prove the fact. Now it is true that
the case just referred was the case of
a mechanic’s lien, and in 6Uch case the
law declares that “to make good” such
liens “they must be created and declared in
accordance with the following provisions,”
iitCi., one of which provision a is iba(. the
liens 6hall be recorded within three months
after the completion of the work. That is
to say, the recording of such lien is a fact
necessary to its existence, and must be
proved whenever It is sought to have it re
cognized; whereas a laborer’s lien arises
upon the completion of his contract of
labor, and recording, etc., is not a fact
necessary to its existence, apfi therefore
need not be proved-’ Code, section 1980 and
section 1976. The right to have the Hen re
cognized and allowed being a matter of
proof and not of pleading, I h Id that any
iuterveutiou of a laborer or material man is
good if put In at any time before distribu
tion, if it is~ otherwise valid, and that the
statutory requirement of briuging suit
within twelve mouth? does nqt apply to a
case like the* present, lienee all the liens
for which interventions have been filed I
hold to be valid when there is no other ob
jection to them. The claims of material
men who are not employed laborers, and of
mechanics who are not employed mechanics,
are liens only where the work is done or the
material furnished for the improvement of
real estate. They are the creatures of the
statute of 1873 and not of the constitution,
and unUke the Hen of the laborer and the
mechanic-laborer the recording of them
within three months from a certain time
is a necessary part of their creation. Code,
sections 1979 and 19S0.
In conformity with these views I have
passed upon the several claims referred to
me.
"The claims specified in schedules A, B, C,
D, E, F and G, hereto annexed as a part of
this report, have been examined by me,
and I find them to be correct in the names
of the claimants and in the amounts of
money specified therein, and I find them to
be good and valid laborers* Hens upon the
property of the defendant, which came to
the hands of the receivers, prior in dignity
to all other claims, except for taxes and
the first mortgage bonds, executed prior to
the adoption of the constitution of 1868,
and as such liens they are entitled to share
with Uke priority Jn the proceeds cf the sale
of’said property. As between the 6aid
several laborers 1 liens specified in the said
schedules, I find that they are of eaual
dignity and priority with each other. The
claims specified in schedule “B,” in addi
tion to being otherwise good and valid
laborers’ Hens,as aforesaid, I find have been
foreclosed and verified in the only manner
provided by the statute for such foreclosures.
Although, as 1 have stated, I do not con
sider any verification at all necessary to
make the liens valid or to entitle them to
recognition.
The claims specified in schedule “C,” I
find were duly assigned in writing, both as
to the claim and Hen after the liens had
been perfected.
I find, too, that the interventions were by
both the laborers and the assignee, so that
the question of the validity of assignment
dc -not affect these claims. I further find
that the claims in this schedule, except
those specified as being represented by R.
R. Richards, Esq., attorney at law, were
verified, bat in the affidavit to foreclose I
find two material allegations omitted, viz.:
that the contract of labor had been com
pleted and that demand had been made up
on the owner or his agent. The two aUega-
gations have been held by the Supreme
Court of Georgia to be material to the en
forcement of the Hen in the summary way.
I find, nevertheless, as already stated, that
these claims are good and valid laborers’
liens for other reasons, and as such are en
titled to share in the distribution as afore
said.
The claims specified In schedule “ D ” I
find were recorded in the Clerk’s office of
the Superior Court, in the manner pre
scribed by law tor foreclosing liens on real
estate, and are entitled to share in the dis
tribution as laborers* Hens as aforesaid.
The claims specified in schedule “ E ” are
good and valid laborers’ Hens, entitled to
share in the distribution as aforesaid, al
though I find that the interventions were
not made within twelve months from the
time the road and its property were put into
the hands of a receiver. This fact, however,
does not affect the right to share in the dis
tribution as aforesaid.
The claims specified in schedule “ F ” are
good and valid laborers’ liens, entitled to
share as aforesaid. I find that they were
duly assigned in writing after the lien be
came perfect, though not foreclosed. I
further find that the interventions are in the
name of the assignee alone.
The claims specified in schedule “ G ” are
good and valid laborers’ liens, and as such
entitled to share in the distribution as afore
said. They were duly assigned In writing
after the liens were perfect, though not fore
closed, and the intervention Is in the name
of the assignee only, and was filed within
twelve months from the time the liens arose.
The claims specified in schedule “ H ” are
for timber and other material furnished for
the improvement of the road bed. But
the same were not recorded as required by
the statute, which makes the recording of
this kind of lieu a part of Its creation.
Therefore these claims are not entitled to
share as liens in the distribution.
The claims specified in schedule “I” are
of 1 ke kind with those specified in schedule
“H,” and were duly recorded. They are
correct in amount, etc., and are good and
valid statutory Hens, and as such are entitled
to share in the manner specified in the de
cree. Respectfully submitted,
Rufcs E. Lester,
Master in Chancery.
Jury Prenentments—A Rasp at Dere
lict Attorneys.
The grand jury of the City Court have
submitted their general presentments, and
were Saturday discharged by Judge Harden
for the term, with the thanks of the court.
The jury organized sub-committees to
attend to and examine into the several
matters that required their attention, aud
their reports were approved unanimously
by the jury as a whole and embodied in the
presentments. The committee to examine
the books and office of the City Sheriff re
ported that everything was found correct,
and paid a high compliment to Sheriff David
Baitey, and his deputy, Waring RusseU, Jr.,
for their efficiency and attention to duties.
The committee on the jail reported the
institution in good condition, the cells
clean, though there Is lack of ventilation,
which, however, Is unavoidable as the build
ing now is. The committee favor the erec
tion of a new jail as soon as possible. There
are eighty-five prisoners in confinement, all,
with one exception, colored. The jailer is
commended for his good management.
The books of the clerk were reported cor
rect, and his office reported as weU conduct
ed in every respect.
The committee, consisting of Messrs. E. F-
Bryan, J. A. Bates and D. L. Cohen, submit
ted the most important report, which was
unanimously adopted and recommended by
the grand jury. As the matter is one of in
terest to the community at large, we give
the following full extract:
“Upon examination of the judgment docket
we were astonished to find a very large num
ber of unsatisfied judgments, and upon close
inquiry we are convinced that a large pro
portion of these open judgments have been
satisfied, and should so be recorded on the
judgment docket by the attorney whose
duty it is to do so. The neglect of this im
portant matter on the part of attorneys is
fraught with much injustice to two classes
of citizens. First, to those who have com
plied with the decrees of your court The
fact of the proper entries of ‘satisfied’ not
being recorded, where there is no evidence
to the contrary, is detrimental to the credit
of such citizens to whom the cases apply,
retarding the sale and transfer of real es
tate, and ultimately entailing expensp and
trouble upon - such parties to protect their
own interests, a burden which 6hould not be
imposed upon them, they not being respon
sible for the omission. The other class of
citizens to whom we refer are those who
may obtain judgments in your court subse
quent to judgments which appear to be
unsatisfied on the docket, from the fact that
the court records show prior unsatisfied
liens. They have no means, except at ex
pense and trouble, of ascertaining the value
of their claims.
“We beg to call the attention of your Honor
to the law governing this matter, aud, if we
may be permitted, offer a suggestion.
“Rule 9 of the Superior Court (and we are
informed it is applicable to your honorable
court) requires that *iu all casese where
paj-ment or satisfaction shall be made on
auy judgment or execution, either in whole
or iu part, it shall be the duty of the at
torney receiving the same forthwith to
enter an acknowledgment thereof, and
affile the same of record In the office of the
clerk of the court where 6uch judgment was
rendered, and such clerk is required to re
cord such acknowledgment among the other
proceedings in the cause, and also to make
a note thereof on the docket of judgments
opposite the place where such judgment is
entered. And any attorney failing to com
ply with this rule on or before tjie last day
of the term next succeeding’the making of
6uch payment or satisfaction, 6ball be con
sidered in contempt, and shall pay a fine
not exceeding twenty-five dollars, which it
shall be the duty of the court to impose,
and be shall, thereupon, moreover direct the
recording aud noting of 6uch payment or
satisfaction.’ We respectfully suggest that
your Honor require the Clerk and Sheriff
to furnish you at once with a list of judg
ments, now open upon the judgment
docket, which, so far as their knowledge
goes, should be marked ‘satisfied,’ either
in whole or In part, together with the at
torney’s name who should have performed
this service, and that the penalties of the
law for this neglect be promptly and
rigidly enforced against said attorneys for
the non performance of this duty. Also
that the Clerk be required tg funds}* your
Honor, from time to - time, within the days
prescribed qy law, all failures on the part of
attorneys to perform this service promptly,
that the penalties for such failures may be
promptly aud rigidly enforced. We have
dwelt upon tbe importance of this matter
in order that the evil may be corrected if
possible, and that the records of your court
may be placed upon a strict business basis.”
