It will be remembered that Sawyer was tho individual who was tried some two years agol or thereabouts for the murder of William Charles, Esq., of Pasquotank county, and ac quitted. The Da vises were witnesses aeaioat Sawyer, who after his acquittal, made threats and on one ocoasion some angry words and gestures passed between him and the brother Uavises.
