V . J . Lee was .originally fnm North Carolina, settled afterwards in Georgia, from which state he was forced to. flee," in consequence of having killed one of his female slaves, and seatetl himself finally upon a planta thm upon Pee Dee. - It was to this portion of his life, that the testimony was. princir pally confined, Si never was a more miser ' ly one exhibited from Elwes down to him setf,inclu(lin every, possible variety ;of human oddi'y and human whim. He liv ed in a habitation - abundantly .worse than any of those occupied by his negroes, , eat his canty. nieals of hoe cake and bapori upon a ioar:which : served it seems the double purpose of holding the pot to cook it . in, ,?Xand: a table" from which; they eat it 5 his V?labJe furniture .wis in about the same style iijf magnificence, consisting of. one' spoon. ffone fork (a crotcheti sticKi ana one Knue, which latter utensil also did duly, in rus pocket, as tobacco cutter, &c. the spoon :was well v enough in : its way but had is handlcut in two in. the midd e and rivet--'tedTwhh iron, in order, as Lee sagacious ly. observed, to keep off 'witches His room amd every thing abou t; . hi in mv as .v fi I thy i n fne extrnie, nor would he suffer it. to. be otherwise, a line was drawn across a. por tion of it beypnd which no human being was suffered to pass, v His wardrobe was in exactjicoping with his other Sublunary comforts ; consisting", of the very coarsest materials, cut and made by himself in a fashion that set all resemblance to any thing ojn earth Jor !in the waters under it at absolute defiance.' His hat crown was pedorated wi th hoi es on every , side, in ordeiias he expressed it, that if the de vil should' enter his head on the one ' sid e, he miht'iiave a passage out at the other. His head was kept close', shaved , so as to make 11V wits glib9' he said. . His bed was in a hollow gum lo arid into this ve ry primitive lodging would he crawl, anil do.e away his lime by day, and spend the ight in fighting devils,and hobgoblins, ad Versarjes that; were .constantly about him ; to meet which upon fair terms a neighbor ins; blacksmith run up a pretty respectable biin fabricating swords, made to diiFer eat'patierns furnished by Lee himself; some f which were asuushapely as Lee's J in a ginatioiu l-One in particular ? was five in ehes on and ve beiieVe, twel ve broad, certainly the most unsusordly instrument -we ver treamcdof. ?sLee was .a; devout helieveiviu witchcraft, and entertained the Tflea that every thing about him was goom cred, or; liable to the visitati jns of that fearful snecies of the gfamour, and, seem ed constantly upon the qui Vive, . to coun teract it. Under the idea that his .teeth ...were goomered -(we are not certain that We get the word Tight but we;so fun'deir stood its pronunciationrtiv ; court) he had t wel ve sou nd t ee th d raw n at on e ti me-7-T"e Devil, or the ; W1ginges,:?which ; he Rpmed to , t hiitk ' me inbes s 0 f th e same f inily, hadVgot into his grinders, and a " Rental abstraction -. was clef ennined on. 3a shurt Maioii Lei was the oddest Jish; fpWj:i.case - which rtf ndered f in. si!infe.atii''iHd e& was uniisall yllengthy and we' ver heard ;br. read of since the cele brated Caliban ; and he was:as Stepheno savs. a most delicat monster too, and a lover of the-.game""beverage,i:r tihjr' cca sionally very 'particularly J unk.' We ought to have mentioned howtn enume rating; his peculiarities, vvhiwe cortsider the worst itature-in .,tiiA.ziz-zass or 111 character . He entertaid the most out rageous aversion to women', and actually hired a prine female slave at twelve and a half -cehis'a year, as a proof of 'his hatred to the st'X ! , And still Mason Lee was in consistent even in an old bachelor's wont ed acerbity to womanhood. 1 -The vinegar of his disposition turned to treacle at least in one instance ; for Mason Lee' was the reputed father of tvyin sons ; one of whom he acknowledged, but disclaimed all" pa- , ternitv for the other ! - The son whom he recognised," was in? court and - testified in the case, tie was a respecvaule and ratn- er interesting young man, and is said very nu ch to resemble his reputed lather, who by n he way , we forgot to mention was du- njns; ni younger days saiu to oe a respc- table man, and in no wa y different fru in of nen young men ot his class and condition. Notwithstanding all these peculiarities of Ma son Lee, he was proved so far as it - regards the accumuJat:ovof property, and upon nil ; other points, ; evinff the single point of faith in witch craft andother supernatural agencies, a shrewd and sensible man, and well capacitated not only to acquire property but to dispose of Jf, and the jhry(m our opinion, most correctly) established. he, validity ot tlu- will. Tle testator , made an injudicious brquest we have no :oubt ; tor he gaveis propei tr where he never will be thank ed torit, aod where will do no perceptible jjood ; od in the cast ot' Tennessee in particular there was no assignable motiv for tin oenefic tion, ?;nce he had nt-ver residedMn the state, had no fel stives tliere, and w".s so utterly devoid of any acquaintance witli " its ci-izens chat, in choosing an executor, he couit not individuate, but was obhged to name. ' the best Baptist minis ter in the state. tint the enhffhtened policy of pur laws gives' every man the control of his own property, the ubswlute dominion oyer his gwn es tate, so. long as his mind is capable of a sane vo lition on that point, .Und it is to much for acourt and jury to usurp any man's ; volition-i-to make .a wdl for him, ev. ry time that he happens to live and die under the ' morbid delusio' of a belief in witcticraft, ghosts, or second sight for in this way, Cotton Mather, Dr Johnson, and half trie literati of ' old Scotia" would have been deemed nan compos menus, and their wills -been set aside because they believed in the Massachu setts witches, the Cocklaoe ghost or the Caledo nian superstition of an antedated vision. We do not believe in these overstrained legal inter positions, between a man and his own undoubted rig-hts.of ownership. ; If he is lunatic or idiotic, let the law take him into guardianship ; , and d as it pleases M?ith his property, or if it has neg lected to do that, let it set aside every insane dis position of .it ; : but never let us have insanity by construction lunacy .by implication we mean lunacy as matter of expediency 1 I.ex no jury in validate a mn's will because they - think they could make a hv tter one for him ; this is no part of their province, an4 . 00 p. i t of what Lord Coke calls the common intendment of law. ; The counsel employed in this case w;as singu larly able and efficient, "and the examination was conducted with Kreai adroitness.
