'J'hccoun-st'l 'J'hccoun-st'l for tho plaintiir ftahi' in the oonro of an application to p,...tpone tho hoarini;, that they iuro n(,t aware when tho suit was brought, that their client's debt was secured l.y n mortgage, mort-gage, nml the probabilities are that the suit will have to bo discharged. The ease was postponed one Keck, tu give Capt. Forbes time lo arrive from S in Francisco, and a.-eeilaiu if he has mortgage to s. cure his claim. Tho plaintifl was also n.piiml to give an a.l.litional Kind Cr damages in the meantimo. Tho suit is lor the sum of alwut JlS.OoO, nnd it seems somewhat strange that an attachment should have.becn levied against a company known to bo as prosperous as the Flagstaff, unless there was some purpose pur-pose tu all'ect the price of its stock in the London market. There can ho no objection to a debtor recovering his money in n lawful law-ful way, but a suit brought to tic up one of our most prosperous mining companies, and embarrass its operations, opera-tions, where the party was evidently perfectly secure, and where, as the defendant in this case alleges, the debt was not due, is c public injury: and if, as appears, it was done for a mere speculative purpose, it deserves the severest censure. Wo understand from Mr. Maxwell, tho superintendent superinten-dent of the company, that the operations opera-tions of the mine and smelters were never more prosperous, and that it will soon be clear of all embarrassment embarrass-ment resulting from the op erntions of the past eight months. |
