w ho ' ' 'ie r'ClM'1 elections :hnt liave taken place
i the 'n several of the State*, illustrate still forum,
ther the truth of the fact w hich we noticed
chil- last week, viz : that the Democratic is main*
C , j |y a southern party?thai it is continually
t lit- banning at the north whllo it is increasing
"ps ; < ?t the south. Some of the northern states
roP4* , thai have been relied upon ns democratic,

the continued decrease of the party At the

bly. i ements by which it is encompassed, in which

Our Court. 1
The Court Of General Sessions and Common
l'leas adjourned nt this place on Sat- <
urday evening last, having been in session
the entire week. The impression in the <
early part of the week was that it would
' last ouly a few days, but it scefns that there 1
. was fnOre business on hand than was an- '
I tieipated. Several sld cases were disposed
of thai had been put off from various <
| terms; these required time, as lawsuits,
in a ;al way, are nh't rendered easier of
| el (It urtCon by age. All the business ready 1
for trial was disposed of and the dockets '
I arc onCenitre cleared. 11
The Grand Jurors were discharged on , 1
: Tuesday. Their report and presentments 1
I were brief, but covering everything which 1 1
I usually comes under their notice. No com- 1
plaint was made this time of the condition '
| of our villuge streets nor of the public
| roads of the District. Several persons
I were presented for retailing without license '
! and some for other offences ; a less num. j '
I her, however, we believe, thnli usual. y j )
The remnant of the once powerful Trtl , '
of Catawba's whs a subject of notice | '
by the Grand Jtify. They recommended i
( that the Legislature adopt measures for i '
I the removal of these poor Indians from j '
; their native homes, thnt they may be no
I longer a burthen and expense to christian j 1
{ civilization. Well may these red men say ' I
as the Soft of IWnft once s.iid to a certain '
I scribe, who desired to follow him whither- 1
i soever lie went : (Matliew viii?20.)
The eases tried and adjudicated were not ; '
i in general of much interest except,to tliu'pa: * 1
| ties themselves. There were no penal con- '
victions. One party indicted for tetailing 1
without license, pleaded guilty and was sun '

x/iiu vui u citii iiiinirr, intoning me II
lie to a large and valuable tract of land, ex '
cited some Interest. It occupied a day amt '
nearly n hull in it* adjustment, and some of '
the points connected therewith are ol? gen- '
eral importance:
This wiiii un action of trcrj'iits tu try title, 1
brought by John \V. ltelW and wife against
John Maiwy. The plainiifl's claim was
based upon n deed of conveyance of the
land in dispute, executed by one hlijali I'hil- 1
lips to Ins danghict, purporting to have '
been for Valuable consideration. This deed '
was executed in 18*J4, mid about three
years subsequently, the vendee became the
wile of He Ik. i'ltiliips ami bis wife continued
in |K?seessioti of the lund in question,
and it wan proven, that on the interesting
occasion when Ilelk made proposals to the
old niuti l'hillips for bis daughter, this deed
of conveyance was talked of, and thai he
(HeIk) gave a verbal promise that the old
people would never be turned out by him.
| which promise it seems thai lie religiously
! adhered to, for thc.y continued tu live upon
the land until their deaths, exercising nil
the rights of u? tiership. Mrs. lMiillips. w ho
survived her husband, died about 1853,and
shortly after, this suit was instituted by the
nlllilltitfs. Ul/.UIlSt the defendant imu- >?
! possession.
To thin the defendant answered :?
1st, that the deed from Phillip* to his
daughter was founded in fraud, that it was
given w ill) the \iew to sen en the land from
liabilities w ith w hich he (Phillips) was then
threatened, and consequently was void ?
idly, that allowing it to have beer, valid,
Phillips and his wife were in possession a
sufficient length of time utter its execution
to confer a title upon them by cpcralion of
luvv. lastly : defendant claimed title in
bint self, by virtue of a deed from the 8iicriff
of this District, who sold t'ne iand in
1844 under an execution against Phillips
Purchaser at Sheriff's sale bought without
notice, and several years thereafter, traiistered
his claim to defendant lor valuable
Consideration.
The Court instructed the jury that the
deed from Phillips to his daughter was invalid
as to all claims, of w hntever kind,
against Phillips nt the time of its execution;
I tor, nllhougli the deed purported to be for
valuable consideration, yet it was admitted
by counsel on both sides that nothing was
paid, the daughter having been under nge
and, as proved, possessed of no property ;
the plaintiff's counsel claiming that it was,
neveitheless, a ( wxl consideration. Hut it
appeared that Phillips had other property,
sufficient to pay off all claims against him
previous to 1824, and that these claims were
finally settled ; nod the Court held, that the
deed was good against Phillips himself and
against subsequent creditors.
As to the statute of limitations pleaded
by the defence, the Court subscribed to a
principle of law laid down by the counsel
for plaintiff as applicable in this case, vis ;
that w hen a man enters upon land, ackrowledgiug
the title to be in another, lie can not
afterwards plead the statute of limitations j
I ... ....... ... iimiauli , iiuit*mi ni! expressly am|
nvowi the title of the other, give* proper
notice, nnd the ntaiutes to run from the d.ite j
l of auch notice. It did not appear thai Phillip*
hod ever repudiated his daughter's elaitn
Next, a* to defendant's title under deed
I from the Sheriff: The counsel for the * s. j
: fence argued, that the plaintiff should have
.given notice of his claim when the land
was advertised for sale aa the property of |
j another liy :ho Sheriff; and, ina??,urh as he !
j did not do so, he il.ould not be allowed to i
assert his claim now. The Court upon '
I thin point lieJd,that, ordinarily, the recording '
of a deed of conveyance was sufl'u ient notice,
and this had been reguinily recorded.?
Hut the vendor continued in poaaeaaion, and i
this fact, >n the opinion of the Court, made
an important difference- That the vendor,
exercising all the rights of ownership for a
number of year*, the vendee n sking ne
claim during the while, the purchaser at
Sheriff*s aale, under these circumstances,
should have had other notice than the mere
record.
The Court, in summing up. instructed
the jury that they, in making their verdict,
had thiec important points to consider: 1st,
Whether the deed from Phillips to his ,
daughter was in its original a fraud and |
npon that account void 'idly, Whether the |
!>lcn of the^statute of limitations set up,
would bur the plaintiffs claim. 3dly, Whether
the recording was sufficient notice.
The jury gave a verdict for piulhtiff, with .
$100 damages. The case was n,nnnged by .
W. A. Moore, Ksq., for the plaintiff, and
the defence by Messrs Clinton & Secrest,
assisted Hy Messrs. Duwkins & Wylic.?
We learn that the defendants have appealed.
