SUPKE3Iti COUItT DECISIONS. Digest of the Opinions Handed Down Daring the Past Week. rcport J ly rerrU Eiiib-9 Esq., of. th; r.aWgTi tir C. H. McDonald v?. J. M. MeEryde tt al (appeal by Hodges and Fc-pe) from Har riett county. Opinion by Avery, J. The bondsmen of a defendant, who has consented to a judgment against himself and his fcureties, in claim and delivery, are Dot entitled after judg ment to an order making them party defendants and vacating the judgment; nor for an injunction. Such judg ment can be 6et aside only by civil ac tion; not by a motion in iho cause. 2. It is no ground of complaint on the part of tho sureties that defeu- i dat.t conscntad to tho judgmont j before tho maturity of the debt ancd upon, such agreement not being ne- cessarilv fraudulent. And even wero thero fraud or collusion, the proper remedy is a new civil action. No error. Affirmed. State (appellant) vs. William Yeargan, frora Wake county. Opinion by Faircloth, C. J. 1. Retween the ages of 7 and 14; an infant is presumed to be innocent and j incapable of committing crime, but that presumption may be rebutted by j thowing that he can discern between ; good and evil. In euch cases as ag- j gravated battcrv, uso of a deadly weapon, attempt to rape and the like, malice and wickedness supply tho want of age and public justice demands that the majesty of the lav should bo vindicated. j 2. But upon an indictment for a ' simple misdemeanor (gambling by , "bhooting craps"), where the jury j louna in a 6peciai vercuci tuai mo de fendant knew right from wrong, but did not know that ho was violating tho law, and that ho was between the agjs of 13 and 14 years; Held, that it was not error for tho court to hold that tho defendant was not guilty. No error. B. V. McCless et al vs J. C. Meekln3 et al (appellants) from Tyrrell county. Opin ion by Montgomery. J . 1. Where, in an action to retain a sheriff from paying into the general county treasury ft special tax fund, which the plaintiff alleges was collect ed for his own benefit it was objected that the complaint was defectivo iu substance in that it did not show that tho county orders, for which the bonds were issued, w cro given for nec essary expenses or by tho sanction of f. majority vote of the qualified voters, and that therefore tho orders were void; Held, that as tho complaint al leges that the orders wero valid and overdue, the pleading is tuflicicnt, the presumption being that he Commis sioners acted in good faith and within the scope of their authority. 2. Tho County Commissioners not only have the power, without the sanc tion of the popular vote, to contract a debt for its necessary expenses, but also the right to acknowledge tho debt by the issuance of an order on tho treasurer of the county for its pay ment, and to substitute bonds of the county for the orders which it has pre viously issued for the samo old debt. 3. Where an Act of tho General As sembly gave to tho County Commis sioners tho pover to issue, without tho sanction of a popular vote, bonds for any and all indebtedness of tho county, whether for necessary ex penses or not; Held, that such Act is. i void only in tho part in conflict with tho Constitution, Art. Yll., Sec. 7. 4. The Act of 1S95, Ch. 278, is un constitutional as seeking to impair tho the obligation of a contract. No error in granting the restraining order. N. C. School fur the Deaf and Dumb vs. N. C. Instituto for Deaf, Dumb and Blind. (Doth sides appeal.) Opinion by Mont gomery, J. The defendant institution at Raleigh was created by tho Act of 41-45, Ch. 37, for tho purpose of educating and maintaining iho pioor and destituto deaf mutes and blind persons of this State. Tho plaintiff corporation of Morgan ton is a school for white deaf and dumb children of this State, chartered by tho Act of 1891, Ch. 309. Section 5of said Act proMdcs that when said Hohool shall bo completed, tho white deaf and dumb pupils, who might then bo in tho institution at Raleigh should be removed to Morganton and placed in the school there. In 1SG1, one John Kelly bequeathed to the defendant's board of directors and their successors $G,000, tho inter est thereon to be used for tho educa ting "poor mutes." Tho plaintiffs bring this action ix have themselves declared the trustees of the corpus of this fund and compel tho defendant's board of directors to pay it over to them. The fund consists of $1,000 in State bonds and a library; Held, 1. The statement of tho above facts' in tho complaint in this action is not sufficient to have the courts revoke the trust and place it in the bands of the plaintiffs. 2. The library and the interest of tho fund should be divided pro rata between tho white and colored deaf, mutes of the State nnder the care and training of all the institutions now cs-' tablishcd or to be hereafter estab lished by tho State, such apportion ment to be based upon the official re ports of said institutions as to attend ance. The interest should bo dis tributed annually and the division of the books made at onee. Affirmed and modified. . Avery, J., concurring. Stat vs. Jams Griffi (appellant), from Wake county. Opinion by Avery, J. "Where, in a criminal action before a justice ct tno peace, juugiaeut was tuspended upon the payment of cotts whereupon the defendant appealed: Held, that while tho law rdiaarily presumes that such judgment was en tered either at the requect of the de fendant or bv his concent, the faet that in this case the defendant appealed im mediately upon tho rendition of the judgment rebuts such presumption, and in e-uch case the Superior Court should order a trial de novo and not a writ of recordari. Error. Judgment reversed. State vs. John N. Sberrard (appellant), from Wayne county. Opinion by Clark, J. 1. A town may forbid by ordinance "disorderly conduct," which does not amount to an indictable nuisanco or other offence forbidden by the general law of the State. 2. Where tho words "a damn high way robber" were uttered only once, bat in a violent and abusive manner in a publio restaurant; Held, that such laDgnago is profane, whether the prefix "God" was added or not; and such conduct, not being so repeated and bo public as to becomo a nuisance, is properly cognizable only under tho town ordinance. No error. State vs. Nick DcBoy (appellant), from Wake county. Opinion by Clark, J. 1. "Raffling" is gambling, within tho purview of tho Act of 1891, ch. 29, and the persons getting up tho raifle, those who purchase chances and thoso who "throw" the dice, whether owning a chance or not, aro equally liable as principals. 2. "Shooting for beef (shooting at turkeys), where each participant pays for his "chance," and progressive euchre parties, and similar entertain ments where the hostess offers prizes, aro not "gambling," within tho mean ing of tho statute, as in tho first case tho ownership of tho turkey depends upon 6kill; in tho latter tho players cannot lose and bet nothing. No error. TO PKESEliVE FORT HALE1GII. Permanent Materials to be Used in the Restoration A Memorial. Work is to begin immediately on Roanoke Island for the restoration aud preservation of Fort Raleigh, which was built there by Sir Walter Raleigh's colonibts.

He Addresses the General Assembly of Georgia on Finances. Tho House of Representatives of Georgia unanimously adopted a resolution inviting Secretary of tho Interior Smith to address the General Assembly on the issues of the day at such a date as ho may find conven ient. Ex-Speaker Crisp spoko in tho hall of tho House Wednesday night iu response to a similar invitation. Mr. Crisp confined himself almost exclu sively to the financial question and ia th3 course of lib remarks declared himself une quivocally in favor of free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver, at u ratio of ICtol. lib argument was confined to a contradiction of tho statement made by tho advocates of a gold standard to tho effect that freo coinage would result in silver mon ometalibni, and that values would be de creased. He advised an exposition from the Demo crats of Georgia on tho question, and said they should insist that their representatives in the next eongress should insi-t upon the making of a platform by those who eWtod the President, and nt by those who live 1 in States that did net furnish tho electoral vote. He said that thero wero many good Denv- crat who favored a singio gMd staadard, but that their views wero as much at va riance with party principles as were those of high tana Democrats. In vb'W of the fa -t that thb speech ir, con siderM the opening one of the campaign for the Fuited States Smatorship which will be made vacant upon the expiration Senator Jordoifs term, and that Mr. t rtsp is regara ed as a probable candidal', lib utterances are taken as significant of the platform upon w hi'-h he will offer himself as a Senatorial candidate.
