An auswer upon these points was begged upon the ground that an afirmative answer would go s0 far to re- heve pub: xiety, and prevent useless and op- pressive litigation.

The practice of making such presents will, from this date. be discontinued during my administration of the office.

Supreme Court yesterday rendered a deci- sion in the case of Wilson, assignee in bank- ruptey, vs. the Uity Bank of St. Pant, on cer- lificate of division from the Circuit Court of Minnesota. A tirm owing money tothe bank suffered their entire stock to be seized on a on bis own yacht, which had been loaded with provisions and filled with friends in readiness forhis flight. Sheriff Brennan has offered $5,000 reward tor his arrest. Yesterday afternoon the aistriet attorney asked for an order against Sheriff Brennan or his deputy, W. J. Shields, to sbow cause why they should not be punished for contempt in disregarding the order of the court in the Genet case. The district attorney said he notified the sheriff Saturday that Genet might escape, but no attention was paid to the notiti- cation.
