In support of your application you state that the city is unable to pay its debts. This is, unfortunately, the case with most debtors ; and on that ground nearly all other debtors would be equally entitled to the same relief. The Supreme Court of this State has decided that taxes due a mu nicipal corporation cannot be seized, under execution, by a creditor of the corporation, nor is any other property used for municipal pur poses liable to seizure. If, therefore, a constable levies an execution... on such property, he is a trespasser, and the city has its remedy against him in the proper tribunal. It does not, therefore, seem to the Major-General Commanding that there is an urgent necessity which would justify his interference in the manner required. Besides, the expediency of such a measure is more than questionable ; for, instead of reinstating the confidence of the public in city notes, it would probably destroy it altogether. I am, sir, very respectfully your obedient servant, W. G-.
