Fun and Fodder for the Lawyers. On Saturday afternoon a suit waB instituted in the TLird district court by Emeline A. Young, on behalf of herself and the beira at law and legatees lega-tees and beneficiaries under the last wi'l tnd testament of Brigham Young, deceased, plaintifl, vs. George Q. Cannoi), Albert Carrington and Brigham Young, executors of the last will and testament of Brigham Young, late deceased, and John Taylor, John Sharp, Edward Hunter, Horace S. ESdridce, George Goddard, Leonard W. Hardy, Theodore McKean, Joseph C. Kingsbury, Angua M. Cannon, defendants. The matter has been talked about for a long time, but was kept quiet, and though the complaint was filed in the ceurt early on Saturday afternoon, for some unaccountable reason only certain parties were allowed any information on trie subjeot. The complaint is a very long one and Bets forth grievances too numerous to mentioo, charging the executors wit;i fmuds of every deBcriptiou capable ol being perpetrated under the office held by them. It charges 1 them, also, with collusion with President John Taylor and others, the purpose of the collusion being to rob the heirs of a portion of the property and money alleged to belong lawfully to them. The amount sued for and olaimed to have been fraudulently taken from the hoirs "ia not less than $1,000,000." The complaint is very specifio and is one of the most complete com-plete articles of the kind ever gotten up in this territory. In this connec tion an application was made for an injuction restraining the executors Irom further pursuance of their duties and asking tne appointment of receivers re-ceivers to take charge of the property pending the trial of the suit, and, without giving the defendants an opportunity to be heard, the injunotion was granted, a bond of $1,000 being filed and Judges Sutherland and McBride becoming the sureties. W. 8, McCornick, Etq. and Marshal Sbaugh-neeey Sbaugh-neeey were appointed receivers, the bondB being fixed at $100,000. Mr. McCornick has not yet filed "hia bond, and aa Marshal Shaughneaey is not in the city, of course, hia bond is not filed; be is not expected to return until the last of tho month. Tilford & Hagan and Sutherland & McBride are tbe attorneys for the plaintifl, Up till last evening the defendant de-fendant bad taken no action in the matter, though it had been expected that some course would be followed; and it is not yet known what the lino of defense will be. The trustee-in-trust has employed em-ployed Richards & Williams, o( Ogden, i Aurelius Miner, Esq-, of this city, I and Judge Dusenberry, of Provo, a3 his counsel; on the part of the executors execu-tors Sheeks & Riwlics and Bennett & Harknefis are engaged, while it is anticipated that eome eminent Iegul abilily will be brought from the east to defend tbe case for the latter parlies. It will be but a day or two before some slens are taken in the matter by the defense, end though it may be some time before tbe cause comes to "trial, it will be before the court frequently fre-quently in the interim in a variety of ways, settling details and technical poinlB. |
