CARROLL COUNTY TRUST FUND.
Mr. BARKER, from the Special Committee under Mr. Richardson's resolution for investigation of certain matters in Carroll county, called the Carroll county trust fund case, relating to a discrepancy as to money which should have been paid into the treasury from the estateof Samuel Griel, deceased, late of Carroll county, and never properly accounted for, as appears from the records; reported an order for process from the Speaker for the attendance of witnesses to testify before the Committee.
Mr. WALKER objected to this as an unnecessary expense. The testimony could as well be taken in Carroll county.
Mr. BARKER said the case involved not only a considerable sum of money, but a question of character, and the testimony sought was not of a character that could be compelled before a notary or other officer.
The report was concurred in.
