Mr. Horton offered the following preamble and resolution:
Whereas, The petition of certain citizens of the towns of Caroline and Dry-
- den praying for a change of the boundary line between said towns, has been pre-
sented so late in our session as to render it impossible to give all parties inter-
ested a proper hearing and the Board suitable time for the deliberation due to so
important a matter, therefore
! Resolved, That no further action be taken thereon, or on the resolution.relat-
• ing thereto, during the present session.
Mr. Speed offered the following amendment thereto, which
amendment, and the resolution as amended, were adopted :
ResoTvcd, That a Committee of three be appointed to give the subject proper
consideration, and report at the next annual session.
• The C hair thereupon appointed as such Committee the Su-
pervisors of Caroline, Dryden and Groton. -
Mr. Speed moved that the petition heretofore presented
with reference to changing the town line between Dryden and
Caroline be filed with the Clerk of this Board. Carried.
Mr. Crozier offered the following resolution :
Resolved, That there be added to County budget the sum of Seventy-five'dol-
lars to re-irnburse Mrs. S. B. Rolfe for amount paid for extra help during the time
of building new barns at County House in 1884 and '85.
i1r. Speed moved to amend by striking out the words
"Seventy-five dollars," and substituting the words "Fifty Dol-
lars."
Amentment lost.
The original resolution was then adopted.
Mr. Horton, chairman of the Committee appointed on the
Infant Ileir matter, made the following report, which, upon

STTPERVISORS' PROOEEDINGS. 66
Heirs on account of the defalcations of Geo. H. Bristol, late
Treasurer of Tompkins County, and also to ascertain the sums
of rrioney.due to said,heirs, would respectfully -report that the
said heirs, at the request of your Cotnlnittee, have submitted
a statement of their claims, both legal and equitable, for our
consideration, which statement is as follows :
- To the C077171Zittee of Ike Board of Serpervisors of Tompkins County:
We the Infant Heirs, who, having now girown to adult years, find that, with-
out any fault of ours and without the consent or power to interfere of ourselves
or our friends, our inheritances have been disposed of during our childhood, and
the proceeds squandered and misappropriated by George H. Bristol, whom the
County of Tompkins selected to be their legal custodian, do respectfully present
for your consideration, both as a matter of legal right and o1 justice, our claims
against the County for the restoration of our property, of which we have been
so wrongfully deprived.
The county, we are informed, has recovered of the bondsmen the full amount
of the loss which it sustained. No.onc has suffered by reason of Bristol's dis-
honesty, but the orphaned Infant Heirs,. who had no friend to 'help them, and
who were powerless to help themselves.
We are asked why we do not enforce our remedy against the bondsmen and
obtain our relief from them. The many actions that have been brought and are
still being brought, and the litigation that has bean going on for at least ten
years almost continuously, ought, we think, to satisfy every one that all possi:
ble eforI in that direction has been made, and that the results so far have been
most unsatisfactory and disastrous. In all this time a successful final judgment
has been obtained in but a single instance, and that can be hardly called success-
ful, since the amount of the judgment is less•than one-half of the loss sustained,
The expense of carrying on a stubbornly contested case to the court of last
resort, is larger than most of us are able to bear. Moreover, it is almost impos
sible atter this lapse of time, to obtain proofs sufficiently definite, to show that
the misappropriation occurred during the pfecise time when the particular set of
bondsmen, against whom the suit is brought, were liable ; and it seems to be
held by the court that nothing can be recovered -beyond the amount, in regard
to which proof can be supplied. In many cases the claims are so small as not to
warrant the expense involved in preparing the proofs, and the risk incurred in
bringing the action ; others are believed by able counsel to have become altogeth.

der to know the best course to pursue. It is not therefore because we desire to r
relieve the bondsmen, that we present our claimsagainst the County ;,but because
the remedy against the bondsmen is expensive, uncertain and at best inadequate.
We ask relief of the county as a matter of equitable right, because the
county through the failure of its officers to detect the fraud, unwittingly contrib-
uted to the wrong by means of which we are placed in our present unfortunate
position. When our moneys were deposited with the County Treasurer, they
were beyond our control. On the theory that our rights to the proceeds of our
landed property sold during our infancy, are too sacred to intrust to parents
or guardians, the law takes from them any power of supervision or interference
with the acts of the County Treasurer in his disposition of the moneys, thus
arising ; but in order that these funds may be kept unquestionably safe, it places!
this trust solely with the Board of Supervisors,! who are required by statute "to
examine into the situation of the securities and money in the hands of such
treasurers and to ascertain whether such moneys are safely and securely kept,
deposited or invested, and such securities adequate and safe." Thus the Board
of Supervisors and they alone, during all the years of our minority, had the duty
devolving upon them, and the authority to exercise it, of protecting us from the
county treasurer's dishonesty. Had not this reliance been placed upon them,
doubtless some other protection would have been devised. The manner in which
the protection was in this case exercised is well-known. Bristol was a defaulter
during every one of the six years of his two terms of office ; but notwithstanding
this fact, the committee of the Board annually reported his accounts to be cor-
rect. Had this duty been thoroughly performed during the first, or the second,
or even the third year of Bristol's term, the defalcation would have been discov-
ered, and further misappropriation brought to an end. The portion of our mon-
eys not yet paid in or collected, would have.been saved, and no doubt the loss
then existing would have been promptly and fully adjusted, The Board of Su-
pervisors, by it -s negligent examination of Bristol's accounts and erroneous re-
ports concerning the same, made a second term of Bristol's incumbency possible,
and thereby not only permitted the robbery to go on throughout the whole six
years, but also rendered the prosecution of our claims against the bondsmen so
much the more difficult by reasons of the alleged equitable defense which they
are thus enabled to set up. In view of these facts we think it must be evident to
every fair minded person, that but for the negligence of the County's representa-
tives in performing the duty required of them by the statute, we should be to -day
in possession of our property.
We ask relief of the County not only as a matter of simple justice, but also
on the ground of legal right. It is true that the claim of one. of our number
against the County was defeated in what is known as,the "Gray case ;" but that
case decided nothing as to the liability of the County for that portion of the In.

fant Heir fund which could_be proved to have been appliedlby,the county treas'-• .
•urer for the use or benefit of the County. On the contrary it is substantially'
stated in the opinion of the Court of Appeals, that this question was not pre-
sented for consideration, since under the proceedure followed by the plaintiff
which involved an election to take a new trial in order to determine what portion
,r
of the fund had been so applied, or in the event of failure to charge the County
with•the whole liability, to abandon everything, the plaintiff by accepting the-lat.
ter alternative, made it imperative' upon the court to deny the whole claim, even
if the evidence would have justified a recovery for a portion thereof. And we
believe it to be the generally accepted opinion among lawyers competent to know
that the County is liable for so much of our funds as can be thus traced to have
been applied for'its benefit. -We aro informed that it was upon'the legal liability
thus created, that the county of Schuyler, two years ago, paid a similar claim in
full ; and that the county of Chautauqua•in the present year has made a compro-
mise with the bondsmen of its connty treasurer, by which the county paid two-•
thirds of the claims,
If this be true, and it can be easily ascertained, if the facts are not• as we
have stated, then the county`of Tompkins is in all'probability, legally liable to,
each of the Infant Heirs, with the exception of Edwin Arthur -Gray, for so much
of the defalcation as can be proved to have been applied by Bristol, in• the pay-
ment of county bills. It is believed thamhe proof to establish the liability of the
county for a considerable portion of the loss can be supplied.
Is it advisable for the County, any more than for us, that we be compelled
t� bring an"action upon each of these clairns ? Shall we go on ten year's longer
in litigation, pursuing the remedy both against the bondsmen arid against• the
County, as will be necessary to get the whole of our claims, at enormous expense`
bath to the county and to'us? We can easily waste more money in law than the -
amount of all our claims. Weare informed that the b`oiidsrnen are willing"toniake'
a compromise,.whereby they will discharge a portion ofthe'debt, if the County'wiIl'
pay the residue, We believe that iris not only'a matter of justice t� us; but a'
matter of expediency for the County, in view of the cost of probable' litliation;
and the rapid accumulation of interest, to make any compromise.wilh''the bondsl•
_men that shall be honorable and just between them, whereby'our claim shall be.
satisfied.
If no' just and honorable compromise can be effected' betiveen' the Count'
and the bondsmen, we ask you tdprovide for the payment of'our' claims' which'
we will assign to you, then with the strong arm'of`the'County, prosecutc'themi

Your Committee -would further report that the sureties of
the said George H. Bristol, at their request, have submitted a
statement and proposition for their consideration, which state-
ment and proposition is as follows : '
To the Committee of the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County:
Gentlemen:—In response to the request of your Committee we herewith sub-
mit the following statement of our position as bondsmen of Geo'H. Bristol, late
County Treasurer, touching his defalcation and our relation thereto.
When, Bristol, as a returned Union soldier, bearing the scars of many hard •
-
fought battles, was elected by the peopl'e of this County as its Treasurer, he
stood high in the community where he had lived, as a man of integrity and hon-
esty ; his character was without reproach. We felt as secure in signing his bond
and had as Little fear of any unfavorable results or any failure on his part 10 do
his whole duty, as those who are sureties upon the bond' of the present incum-.
bent. We were interested year by year to read in the published reports of the .
Supervisors their certificates to the correctness of Bristol's accounts, and the safe-
ty of the funds in his care. In the year 187a Bristol was renominated, and as
during the campaign grave charges against him were hinted, and intimations
made, that he was not properly protecting, investing and caring for the funds in
his custody, and knowing the law made it incumbent upon the Board of Super-
visors to make a thorough investigation of all of his accounts, securities and
cash, and that they only had that power, we called upon members of the Board,
previous to their annual session, and requested that their attention be directed
to the rumors that had been circulated, and that the Committee be instrncted to
•
0
SUFPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 69
make a specially careful examination, in order that we .as bondsmen 'might he
fully advised of his true condition. We desired to know because we were inter-
ested as sureties on his first bond, and anticipated that he might ask us to sign
his new bond, which of course we would not do if the Supervisors should dis-
cover that the'rumors referred to were true. The matters were brought before
\ the Board at the proper time, and in response to the •request, special directions
were given to the Committee to make their examination as thorough as possible.
The Committee made their report on the 20111 day of Nov. of that year, (1872)
which was similar to the two reports previously made (in 1870 and 1871) that ev-
erything was correct and all funds properly invested or on hand, which report was
duly adopted by the Board. Beside this report we had the most positive assur-
ance from members of the Board personally that "Bristol was a36 'right."
What more could we, do ? The County through its legal repre-
sentatives and after their attention had been directed to the sub-
ject, had certified to the correct and satisfactory condition of everything'
pertaining to the Treasurer's office, and we believed what they said, (to have'
questioned their decision would have been impertinent), and so believing several
of us, on the 6th day of the next month, (December), signed "his second bond.
• The three years following, 1873, 1874 and 1875, the Supervisors certified to the
correctness of the Treasurer's accounts and funds, in the same manner as
they had done each year during his first term. The second term expired Jan,
ret, 1876, and not whisper was uttered to our knowledge against him until
about the 2rst day of February we received a letter from Bristol's successor,
saying that he had not turned over all the funds in his hands ; that there was a
deficiency in both the County and Infant I-Ieir fund. We at once telegraphed to
the Attorney General of the State, asking him to authorize the arrest of Bristol
as a defaulter, we having been advised that this officer had such power, but he
replied that he could not comply, we then appealed to the District 'Attorney of
our County, Simeon Smith, Esq., who said he could do nothing about it, and
who advised us that we could take no action on an anticipated loss, that we had
not at that time been compelled to, pay anything for him. We then appealed to
the Board to take some action tor Bristol's prosecution whereby they might get
. into their hands such property and assets as he e might have in his possession, but
nothing was done. A meeting of the Board was held -Iry March, when a Coon-
mittee was appointed who met us, by request at the Supervisor's rooms, when we
were to have the privilege of examining all of Bristol's books, papers and vouch-
ers, for we felt that in view of the repeated -certificates of the Board of the cor-
rectness of the accounts and funds, there must be some mistake, which with the
aid of the papers we might discover. We met the Committee, and called for the
papers, books and vouchers, when we were confronted with the statement that
they,had,uurntef all the vouchers ; as the accountswere all correct they would nev.
"r6 SUPEIVISOIIS' PEOCEEDINGS,
er be needed. Without the vouchers we could make no proper examination,
and we returned hone, heartsick and discouraged.
There followed an expensive litigation between ourselves and the County,
the latter bringing suit for both the County and the Trust fund- This resulted
in the recovery of a judgment against us for the County fund, amounting. with
costs to upward of $6,Soo, which we paid, the court dismissing the suit as to the
balance.
These misleading reports of the Board were not made a part of our defense
in the ,first suit by the county,but are now relied upon in the suits brought by the
infants. These reports.operated as a fraud upon us, and by them we were induced
to sign the second bond, which we otherwise would not have done ; but as this
defence, was not made, we were beaten as to the County -funds. Since that time,
about seven .Years, we have been in constant Iitigation with some of the heirs.
One,suit and only she, with an heir, has been decided against us. This was with
one,Charles Cowen, whose suit was for W767 ; the court holding us for $317 of
the amount but dismissing the suit as to the balance,
Of the seventeen names on the first bond, eight have died and eight have be-
come insolvent, four having died whose estates are insolvent. Of the fourteen
names on the second bond, six have died, three have become insolvent. No less
than four widows of bondsmen, deceased, who were left with a house and lot
- and a small amount besides, Would be made penniless if their proportion of the
amount now due the Infant Heirs conld be enforced against them.
Surely the, -e people are entitled to some consideration. If the bondsmen
had been apprised by the Board of the defalcations, even at the close of Bristol's
first term, when they were asked to take special pains in the examination, mucq
trouble would have been'saved ; at that time most of the bondsmen were alive,
and most if not all were solvent ; besides, the defalcation had not then reached
its- present proportions, and could have been paid without ruin to any one of
.the number.
We have the - feeling that we have suffered too much, and more than our pro-
portion, inasmuch as a large part of the loss was made possible through the neg-
lect of‘the County through its agents to perform properly a duty made plain by
statute, that the loss has obtained through no act or neglect of ours. We sin-
cerely believe that we ought not to pay another dollar. While we have this feeling'
we who still survive, are desirous of •having an end of the litigation, and are also
anxious to .have our liability defined while living, that we may not entail upon our
heirs a trouble that seems to be alfnost unending. One year ago we madea propo-
ition to your honorable body that if the County would pay one-half of the face
of all the properly authenticated claims of the Infant Heirs, we would "pay .the
•
•
•
SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 71
other half, assuming that the heirs would accept of the face of their claims with-
out interest, as most of them have signified to us theirwiliingness to do so. If this
proposition should be carried out, we believe that it would cost us more money
than for us to defend ourselves single-handed against each of the heirs, as many
of the claims it is now conceded are outlawed, several have never made any claim
against us nor will they because of the difficulties in their way. We believe •
however that every heir should have his money, not only the principal but a fair
rate of interest in addition to the principal, and that great injustice has been
donethem by this long delay. 'We also dislike to litigate with parties as deserv-
ing as these infant heirs. We therefore make the following proposition : We will
as proposed one year ago pay one-half of the face of all these Infant Heir claims,
including those that are outlawed, provided that Tompkins. County will pay or,
secure to the heirs such an amount in addition thereto as will be satisfactory to
them. We understand that if the County were to pay the face of all the claims
alone, the amount which each taxpayer would be called upon to ..pay would' not
exceed one dollar on a thousand dollar assessment. To the County the amount
is almost nominal, to the Heirs in most cases it is all they have, and to most of
the bondsmen living and the estates of those who are deceased it would be ruin.
We believe that we have been unduly criticised and censured for defending suits
brought against us by the County and by heirs, lint we feel that it has been be-
cause the people have not known the facts inrelation to our connection with the
matter as herein stated, the truth of most of which is now known to each mem-
ber of this Board of Supervisors from other sources than ourselves.
We have been informed that a report has been in circulation that Bristol
placed in our hands certain securities by which we were indemnified against any
loss that might accrue to us as his sureties. Bristol turned over to his successor
some three or four worthless mortgages which the latter refused to accept, know-
ing that they were without any value. Bristol did afterwards turn these over to
us, but we desire to state that•such securities never had any value ; we have nev-
er received nor can we receive a dollar from them, for being second or third
mortgages, any possible value that might have been assumed to rest in them
has been cut off by foreclosure and sale of the"property upon prior Liens.
We desire further to state that we have never received one dollar in money,
property or any valuabl•e thing, from Bristol or any other source to indemnify us
against loss as his sureties. On the contrary, we hold Bristol's note for $6515 27,
given to us when we paid the judgment for that amount to Tompkins County.

Your Committee would further report that as thorough
and systematic an •exantinafion of the representations made
in such statements by the said heirs and sureties as time would
permit, has been had by your Committee, and they find them
to be substantially correct, except any that may imply negli-
gence upon the part of any previous Board of Supervis-
ors or Committee thereof, and that as to any such negligence
your Committee has no definite knowledge, and consider any
accusation of that kind as rather a matter of inference or opin •
ion than as an ascertained fact.
Your Committee would further report that, as near as
'they can ascertain, the sums of money due to the said heirs,
without interest, are as follows :
William Elyea; principal sum $ 175 00
W. H. Apgar, " 162 50

Your. Commitee would further report that in their opinion
the legal right of the Board to settle and adjust these claims
is in doubt. The Court of last resort of this State has decid-
_ ed that the County is not legally liable therefore unless for
such moneys as shall be proven to have been received by and
dy

•
used,for the benefit of the County, and as to this last propo-
sition the Court expressly leaves it undecided,. so that the lia-
bility. of the County to pay any one of the Infant Heirs for
money belonging to such infant which the defaulting Treasur-
er had transferred to and used to pay the County indebted- 4,
ness can only be determined by litigation. Should it be con-
ceded that, the County would be liable for all moneys belong
ing to the infant heirs which it had received, your Committee
are of the opinion that while certain of the heirs would un-
doubtedly be able to show that fact, others would not, and the
County would of course be only legally liable to pay such as
could make that proof.
Your Committee, from these considerati ons, are of the
opinion that before any action could be properly taken by
the Board of Supervisors, that an act should be passed by
the Legislature of the State, authorizing the Board, in its dis-
cretion, to settle and adjust such claims. Your Committee
would therefore recommend that a Committee of this Board be
appointed to procure the passage of such an act of the Legis-
lature, to the end that the. Board shall have the power to take
legal action in the premises should it so desire.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
