An Important Point of Law.
Some time ago a colo ed woman from
Pmeviile T wnship, i n this county, nppear
i d before W F D ivid on, a Justice of ihe
Pface for Cbarloite Townshi , ahkin for a
warrant for the arrest of a white man in
the township first iiKniel. sayifg'hathe
had thr. a'emd o take h r life- The w ra tii
said tint the man wa- popular in Pinevill,
and 'hat she co j d not get justiie there.
Jutce Davids n &ent the warrant to the
i o: stable of Pmevillc, and he returned it
before a vaitrate of that township, who,
when ihe case was ca'led. dismissed the ie
fendant Tne fact being mid; known to
the Magistrate wh' h id issmd the w irmnt,
he wrote to Judge fcSchenck fr insiruc i 8
in the prtmises. His H n r replied that the
eons-table who had not exe -uted the process
properly was liable to indictment for a vio
lation of lsw. Justice Davidson has at yet
taken no sieps in the matter.
This decision is of importance, and we
commend it especially to tne attention of
constables.

Reported Killing nf a Highwayman.
Jt is repor ed in this city, tht o Tuesday
evening after dark, a man named Smith, a
cit ze'i of Cabarrus co miy, was on his ay
home from Cot c rd, when h- Was met in
the road by a negro who d minded rnotiv,
Mr Smith av him $5 and the scoundrel
demanded more. He reap-ind! tht he had
more, but thought that ougl t to be enough
for him. The negro tld mm to hand over
nil lie had. and Mr bnnih rrachel in his
pocket i s f to get h; but instead of the
iu ney we drew pi'iol, which he leveled
upon his assailant and fired the ball strik
ing him in the br,at and pioJucing almost
liistam death.
The above item appeared in tbe OBStavita
of yes erday. The circumstances are these:
Dr yiib Smith, who reside in Coddle Creek
ojrusuip, Iredell county, in the corner of
Irtdell, Mecklenburg and Oabarrua, wiare
luruing bom- on Tuesday night abcU 8
o'clock, from a visit to a patient, when ne
w s met iu the raid by two w groes, one of
whom dt minded money. He handtd him
fl 20, which he bid in hisve.-t pocket, when
toe highwayman told hnu that he mud
have more. Dr Smith to d him that he had
s niie more money, and if nothir gel-e would
do, suppose t he must give it to him bay
ing which, he reached in the rear pocket of
his pauts, drew a pistol and fired upon the
negro. Tbe bill struck him in t ie forehead
and be full dead in tbe road. Dr bmiih
rod- ou to the nea est house and reported
the occurrence. A nun ber of pers ins in
the neighborhood visited the body while it
lay where it tell, but none could identify if;
the nero seems to have been a stranger 1h
that section. His companion darted into
the woods as suo a as Dr Smith fired, and
wa seen no mor.
...
Outrageous Conduct.
On yesterday abjut noon, or a short time
afur, a nero whose name wa subm qtientiy
ascertained to be Uus Wayiuan, went to the
house of a gentleman in the city while he
w away and entering the dor. made iu
decent proo-a s io the lady, He was'iun
from this place, a ter which he went to au
oihe', not far distant ard on the premibes
i idnl(.e I in the mo-t outrageous language
and conduct. The owner ot the place was
at briUB and went out to remonstrate with
the negro. After some conversation he or
dared him off ihe lot, when the negro seized
a rock aa if to throw it at him. Tht gentle
man went in the hou&a and got his pistol,
ai,d returning into the yard, wubd that the
negro had fled. An officer was put upon
his track, and be was ai prehended' and car
ried b fore Justices Hilton and McNincb.
His bearing iu tbe couit was boisterous and
impertinent, and after having been told sev
eral times to stop talking, aud having re
fused, Constable Wh tley, was told to car
ry b m to jail, la is left band was put in
tbe band cuff, and ha was ordered to pat
the other one iu, which be peremptoriU re
futed to do. At this junc ure, policeman
Hill, who was present, oidered him to al
low himself to be hand-cuffed ; refusing tbe
second time, the policeman very properly
knocked him down in the court room', alter
which hertretched ont his band and let it
be locke I up. A further hearing of theeaee
will be had to-day. . The scoundrel is indict
ed for attempt, at rape, forcible trespass, and
indectnt exposure of peis m.
The case excites a good deal of comment.
1 he negro's conduct was most outr geou
and has caused a go al deal of alar u among
the even who were not directly interested'.
He merits wvere pnnihment.
