sThS writ; of Mtiigs s'.saed 6ut Satut-
day by 'Messrs. Russ'eil & Ricaud, counsel
for John McKoy, Was partially heard before
Judge Meares at tne dqurt House yeisterdly
nlorning at 10 o'clock. VWV
Mr.'Ricaud moved that the prisoner be
discharged,' on the ground that he was Im-r
ri It was agreed between the opposing coun
sel, Mr. Solicitor Moore appearing in be
half of the, State, that; the evidence ; tsken
down before Justice Harriss on Saturday,
so far as it went, be used on this occasion.
Mr. Ricand. then read tbe evidence io. the
case of Rachel McKoy, and introduced as
additional witnesses as to the character of
McEoyMessrs.JF.Garrell.T.HLJobhson.T.
P.SikesandT.A.WatsOn,folIoWibgwitrj the
testimony in the case of Frances McKoy.
John McKoy, tlrtT defendant, was then
placed' upbn the stand by his counsel, when
Solicitor l!re stated to the Court that if
.the accused was to be examined he should
insist that the two prosecuting witnesses,
Rachel and Frances McKoy, ahoula he
brought into .Court , To this arrangement
the defence interposed no objection, and it
was then agreed that either side should in
troduce whatever testimony . was deemed
necessary ,
After some discussion the further hearing
of the case was. finally postponed Until 4.30
P. M.
The case was further considered in the
afternoon and much of the previous testU
mony rehearsed, in the midst of which,
owing to some disorder, His Honor, Judge
Meares, ordered the Court room cleared of
the large number of spectators which had
gathered to listen to tbe revolting details,
permitting only the witnesses and others
specially interested io the case to remain in
the room.
At the conclusion of the proceedings His
Honor gave notice that he would admit the
defendant to bail in the sum of $300 in
each of the two cases. against him, with
good and sufficient security, to be approved
by him (Judge Meares).
We deem it proper to state that the testi
mony as to character .introduced by the
counsel for the defence was very creditable
to their client.
Anti-Prohibition In Oolambm.
A correspondent at Whiteville informs

last, at 12 o'clock, but he failed to put in an
appearance, whereupon the large crowd
that bad assembled at tbe Court House fu
called to order and one Sanders, of this

lengthy speech. The Prohibitionists were
quite elated at MabBon's failure to be pres
ent, but before Sanders had concluded he
(Mab3on) walked into the town, coming
ffom the direction.of Rosindale, where he
had gotten off the C. C. Railroad, having
been accidentally left by the W., C. & A;
R. R. train. Sanders, in concluding, an
nounced that other Prohibition speeches
would be made, when Mabsqa asked the
Chairman whether the Anti-prohibitionists
would be allowed to speak, stating that it
was his appointment. The chair stated that
the Prohibitionists had permission to use."

that he had an appointment to speak there
that day, and all who would retire could
hear him on the court yard. At this the.
crowd, amid cheers and hurrahs, left the
meeting, leaving the Chairman and Secre
tary, sitting solitary and alone. Mabson
spoke to a large crowd from tbe stand on
the public square and made a very good
speech. The Prohibitionists were com
