The supreme court has filed a de olston in a Wilmington suit to recov er on a note given to the bank of New Hanover by a firm of tnat oity, witn Messrs Bellamy and west as endors ers. As an onset against tnelrllabll ities as endorsers Messrs Bellamy and West pleaded their Individual certin cates of deposit and open accounts witn tne bans of New Hanover, but j udge Brown held that certificates of deposit not due and open accounts could not be set off by joint endorsers when tne same were held by them severally and individually. In the supreme court justice Burwell takes an opposite view and gives the opini ion, with the whole court concurring. tnat in equity and justice both cer tificates ot deposit whether due or not at the time of the failure of tbe bank and other accounts with the bank subject to check must be allowed by the receiver as offsets. This settles a question of great interest and impor tance to the community and to the patrons of tbe bank all over the state. " ' Bloomsbury and Balsigh. An index is now being prenared for an tne records in tne omce of the clerk of the superior court. It is a little curious that the first reference to the "city of Raleigh" in this re cord occurs June 18. 1797. when Nat Jones, John Whltaker and John Rog ers maae a report on "prison bounds," they having been appointed a com mittee to lay them off. The prison hnnnria war. f Vi a aama fh.n n that Is the block on which the jali stands. The posts now standing. which are white and marked "P B." were pur. up oniy a lew years aaro. Before 1797 in the records there are frequent references to "Bloomsbury," which was tbe former county seat. The court bouse at Bloomsbury stood In rear of the residence of Misses Kate and Adelaide Boy lan. Some of the tounaation yet remains and one or two of the old buildings still stand. Wake county, by the way, has a royal cbarter. given by Jung tteonre tbe Third, and is the only county in tbe United States having such a charter.
