The Kosciusko case, which was so fully argued at the last term of the Court, was decided yesterday in favor of the sureties of the late George Bomford, his administrator de bonis non, and, as to them, against the parties claiming to be the next of kin of Kosciusko.
Morsell, J., delivered an able and elaborate opinion, concluding with an order that the bill be dismissed as to the sureties, but retained as to the administrator of Col. Bomford, for an account of the assets of his estate, should the complainants desire such an account to be taken.
Dunlop, J, concurring entirely with his brother Judge in the views expressed by him, delivered, at his request, a separate opinion upon one of the points in the case.
We understand that the counsel concerned for the sureties have requested a copy of the Court's opinion for publication in this important and interesting case.—Nat. Int.
