If Judge McKoy wants to "strike ile," let him instruct the grand jury at the ensuing term of our superior court to indict tho Wke county officer, An derson Boylan, for assault and battery and false imprisonment for taking the gypsey Samuel Woodruff out of New Hanover county against his will and without any warrant of law, and carry intr him to Wake ounly for trial. Let him also instruct the jury that the taking of tie borso from the gypsies was a forci ble trespass an outrageous violation of law, and as such, the perpetrator should be indicted and punished, and let him also instruct the jurv that when the' Wake county magistrate t-ok ju risdiction and finally disposed of a case where the offence charged occurred iu another county than the one wherein he has authority to act, that Ar,' too, kid himself liable to an indictment fcr malfeasance in office. We are surprised that such eminent lawyers as Judge Fowle and Mr. George II. Sfow, ' who appeared to prosecute these poor gypsies, did not inform the magistrate that ho was exceeding his jurisdiction, ard thus prevent a y:reat wrong being, done to the defendants and their band, who, it seems, are with out friends in this country, and whose great rim consists in Laving ! wait a while for it hundred pounds of willow which thtv d(.iign to work up into bas ket 4 - We belitvu these gypsies "aio Kngiiih people and owe allegiance to tJucen Victoria Fxrr.Ai.r i lioii the Minl ies of' Til!: .
