Many cases were dis posed Of, the following being some of them: McCaskill vs. Pegram. This case was for the possession of a tract of land near Ellerbe, and was compromised before reach irig the jury. '. I The case of Shores vs. , Kelly took a rather curious turn. The defendant confessed j'udgment to the plaintiff in the sum $20a00, and then went to the jury on a counter claim, and the jury re turned a verdict in favor of- the defendant for $175.00 and the cost. ; ( ; ' Judgment was rendered against the defendant in the Steen-Free-man case. , The court ordered a non-suit in the "case brought by Daniel Little, administrator, against Jas. Nash LeGrand and others. The plaintiff appealed. J. L. Everett vs. T. J. Gibson was the last case reached. .Judg ment was rendered for plaintiff. A General Mixture There was-a case tried here in Judge Careers Court, the other day, in which there was a gener al mix up of nationalities, poli tics and religion. The plaintiff, be ing of German extraction, was represented by English and Irish attorneys The defendant, bein distinctly Irish, was . represented by a blue i blooded Scotchman, Among the attorney s was a Demo crat, Republican, a Bull Moose There were Methodsit Baptist Presbyterians and Catholics -in the scramble. The decision was also' mixed both the : plaintiff and the defendant scoring. ' r Richmond county is to have a term of civil court, begining next Monday, Dec. 20 th.

There were quite a ; number of witnesses examined for the State and also" for the defense. The defendant was a young colored boy who proved an excelent char actor by some of our best white citizens,' especially those whom he had worked for. After hear ing all the evidence and able speaches by the Attorneys on both sides, the recorder rendered a verdict in favor of the defendant. The last case tried was that of State vs. M. L. Tucker, on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The defendant was re presented by Messrs. Boggan & Kelly, while Solicitor Jones, was again assisted by Lawyer Came ron. The attorneys on both sides handled this case with some warmth, contesting every inch of ground . The ( defendant was found guilty and fined $20.00 and the cost. -' , Man With a Little Case. The Dispatch Man strolled in to the county court room some days ago, while the judge was calling cases. He called 54 and asked if the plaintiff was ready, Attorney Harrell, arose arid . stat ed that he represented the plain tiff and that they were ready, that it was a case started in a magistrates court by his client, against a New York concern for $3.50, which was honestly due him. The lower court gave him judgment for this ' amount and the case is now in this court on appeal by the defendant; "who re presents the defendant;" said the court. "I do, " said Lawyer Camero on, "and we are ready." - "The jury is with " the plaintiff," said the court. Attorney Harrell, then cast his eye towards the jury box; scaning each juror carefully and stood aside one man.' -Then Lawyer Cameron took a - whack at the jury. He also cut out one manW Then Clerk McAulay, en paneled the jury.
