The University Chancery Case

The University Chancery Case.

  The following is the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of the Regents of the University, etc, vs. Silas Il. Douglas et al., and Silas II. Douglas vs. the Regents, etc: 

   In these cases, owing to the extraordinary and unprecedented course adopted by the complainants in the original cause, declining to rendered that aid and assistance which the researches and argument of counsel would give, and which has been universally recognized as proper and necessary in court specially those of last resort, we find the request to dispense with the printing of the record an embarrassing one. We do not know what questions are to be presented or the bearing or extent of  found necessary in the determination thereof. We do not therefore now say that the record should not be printed in the usual manner. That this may result in heavy and unnecessary expenses upon the losing party, much of which might be  avoided could we have the customary assistance of counsel is very probable. It is, however, one of the consequences which we can not avoid case is thus thrown out upon us with no information on one side whether the full printing of the record is not necessary. We must, as at present advised, assume that such printing is necessary and act accordingly.

- St. Joseph county is intensely excited over an egg laid in the barn of Keeler of Stevensville, bearing this inscription : " War"- in large letters- -.1881." " Between the space, above and below, the form of a soldier with musket near by. Hundreds of people are coming for miles to witness this great phenomenon, which is certainly the work of the Supreme Architect of the universe, as no living person, however artistic, could imitate or place these letters upon the egg as they appear. The figures are raised a little from the surface, making it plainly visible. Capt. Keeler has been offered for his curiosity $1,500, but he says he wants more.
