It was the fact of #o ferge a purchass haviog been made by Hickox that sub- wequently lod ta tha discovory of the systematic plundor of bis cmployer, No other course was left to Mr. Speer than to try to reimburse himself for the losees ho bad sustained by gotting sitlo to sud possession of the property which had been obsataed by Hickox. Tatore the transfor of the title was mado by 2lr. Hickos, or by lus brother, or some relasive,— some perdon of thossms uame, to whom the E;Dpeny)mibnenimus(c od,—B. F.

Ar. Speer at this tima was owner of 69 feet on Randolph streot, by 100 fset on Wells streot,—%0 feet of tise criginal lot, aud tho north 10 foot of the ot ndjoinmy it o tho south,—all of which property was subject to tho incumbrance already 1mentioned, 3ir.

Mr. Speer subsequently pur- chesed 20 feat still furthor west, and on this property o purchased he erected 2 buildivg to compiets the hatel, TIC CONDITION OF AFFAIRS when *r. Speer acquired tho title was this: Aftec hoving acquired the titls, outsids of ths unpaid purcbase monoy, Mr. Speer, during 1555 2ud 1958, before the completion of the build- ings, which were completed and occuriod on the 18¢ of July, 1836, had expended 374,500 in the buildings, {niprovements, ropairs, aad fittiugs of the Motrogolitan Hotel. In May, 1836, 0na of the notes given by Hicliox to Hadduck for $6,250 Lecame due aad was paid, a3 2ivo was the in- terest on tho cther notes. Lfr. Speor being then greatly in need of money, it was rgreed Detween Lim and Hadduck thas tho wote for $6,250, which bad been peid, shoald ‘e again put in circulation for the bonefit of Ar. Spoer, With the understanding that it should not ba treated as a st lien upon the property ; but that, instead of being the firat, it should be con- eidered the Iast note of the series, Tha hotol waa rented to Goodman & Mason July 1, 1835, for a raatal of 318,000 per snoum. ‘The great commercial PA¥IC OF 1857, which caused widespread divaster &ll over the United States, reduced values 50 that they wera 1o values ; thoze who bad monoy beld it mth the touscity of a deatl-grip, end those who waoted it conld not get it.

This morteage, which Was to run five Yeary, Lo triod to sell, and when he fomod ho ould not find any outside purchasor ho went to Alr. Hedduck. Thia was the explanation givon by Mr. Greenebaum ja bis testimony. Hr. Soser’s version was that be employod Ar.

Hedduck claiming 20 retain it collateral for tho note of £0,250 which was ariginally the first note of the weries.

Prior ordinances wero passed granting these Compa- nies the right to copstruct and operate horse- railways on certan streets, including Wabssh avenue and Lake street, east of Union Park. The Council subsequentiy REPZNTED OF THIA HASTY ACTION, ond concluded thas * the permanont interest and welfara of said city demand the exclusion of all sach railways from ssid Wabash avenue and from all seid Lako strest ocast of tho east line of Peck street, and from certain other Etreets hereinafter namod. and that the esmo should be kopt at sll times free from such raiiroads.” DBut tho important question srises.
