Counar and Richard Cou.iar, partners in trade under the name and style oT \V. T. D. Cousar & Son, and Allen Leard. defendants, appellants. Opinion?Mclvrr, A. J. On thooth of October, 1882, one A. F. Kitchens hoiu;; indebted to the plain tiff in the sum of liftmen hundred ami forty-three dollars, a large portion ol which had been antecedontly contracted, executed a mortgage on sundry articles oi personal property, including the cotton which is the subject matter of the present controversy, to secure the payment of said debt on or before tlie 1st day of January. On the 19th of February, 18H:i, the said Kitchens, in confederation of said indebtedness, and ol a credit of fourteen hundred and ninety eight dollvra on the mortgage d<*bt, executed a bili of sale for the property mentioned in tho mortgage to the plaintiff?all of the cotton having been ginned and packed in bales, except so much thereof as was estimated to be sutlicieut to pay certain agricultural ^^^^^( ill^^ffjylJaiT^^^^iTrennan. the payment of which whs assumed by tinplaintiff. On or about the 23d of February, 1883, the said cotton was seized by the defendant Walker as slit-riff under a warrant of attachment' issued by the defendants,- Cousar & Son, against the said Kitchens, and upon repeated demands made therefor by the pluintifl he refused to deliver it up to the plaintiff, On the 5th dry of April, 1883, the said Sheriff levied upon the cotton under an execution obtained in the case in which the above mentioned warrant hat] been issued, and a bond of indemnity having been executed to him by Cousai & Son, with the defendaut Allen Leanl as surety, he sold the same to Cousar A Son, they being the highest bidden therefor. Whereupon this action was brought to recover the value ?*f the s?ir cotton. The defendants in their answer allege that on the 5th day of October, 1882, th? said Kitchens was insolvent and thai plaintiff had good reason to believe thai ne was so, and that the transfer of prop erty above mentioned cut braced all o the personal property of the said Kitch ens subject to execution ; and that on tlu same day the said Kitchens conveyed ti the plaintiff all his real estate subject tc execution, in consideration that the plaintiff would pay an i.ntecedent debt due W the estate of Robert Patterson by tlu ?aid Kitchens, and they therefore clain that these transactions between the plain tiff and Kitchens were in violation o Section 2,011 of the General Statute: and therefore void. At the trial defend ant's counsel proposed to ask Kitchens while on the stand as a witness, the following questions : "'What property die jou own on the 5th day of October 1882?" which, upon objection being in terpofted by the couiiKel for plaintiff "th? Eresiding Judge stated that he vrotih live preferred to meet the question on i demurrer to the answer, hitf. thoa'^-.Vc lie ougb-* .oeet it in the shape he found * it; that he thought the answer if made out by the testimony was no valid defence to the plaintiffs case, mid that he would-.treat the matter in the same way Jifcwould have done if there lmd hewn a .^ijmurrer to. the answer, fur want o! 5sufficient to prove a defence. The njpoiat to which the questien was directed. [it was construed in paragraph VII of xhe Answer, which transactions it wa? .^clainVpd constituted such an assignment as wits contrary to the provisions of Chapter LXX1I, Section 2,014, of the General Statutes of this State and there-fore jrbici" ' ' Tke Circuit Judge ruled that the ; ; jtaiil question was incompetent and irr.t felyyuut uudur the pleadings, and refus'.= allow or require the witness to answer the question. After this ruling the ^f<rad*nU}, of course, offered no further ttfttituony and the plaintiff had a verdict, Tli6 Bote question, therefore, raised by this appeal is as to the correctness of thia ruling. Treating the question as if it aros:upon a demurrer to the answer, that being the way in which it was considered by the Circuit .Judge, and should be by us, all of the material allegations of tlu> answer must be taken to he true. It is there. alleged that at the time of the transactions between the plaintiff and Kitchens, the latter was insolvent and ? .. the former had good reason to know that fact, and made in pursuance of anorigi, pal design and intent of the said Addi on F. Kitchens, subject to executions for debt, to .John \V. NVilks. determined on them in the beginning, to transfer and assign all the property of Addison F. Kitchens, subjectfo execution for -lebt, to .Intin IV w;it*? f..~ ' ? -- * .. .?/. UK' >>ciieiii m nil.1 said John W. Wilks, and the estate ui liobt. Patterson, to thy exclusion of all the other creditors of the said Addison F. Kitchens. Assuming these allegalions to be true, they nniotr.it to un admission thnt Kichens and Wilks intend* ad to eiVect the precise object which b declared to bo illegal and absolutely null aud void by flection 2,014 of th 0<>nerai Statutes, which reads as fol fovra : ''Any assignment by an inaolvfiit debtor of his or her property, foi the the benefit of his or her creditors, in which any question of priority is given to any creditor or creditor* of the aaii! debtor by the terms of the said assignment over any other creditor or credi i*?r?% onmr man as uebts to the publie, or in which any provision, or dixpoxition of the property ho assigned i> made or directed, other' than that tlu fttine be distributed among creditors ol the Maid insolvent debtors equally, in proportion to tho amount of their soveral deranndn, and without preference ol priority of any kind whatsoever, nave ?.nly as to debts due to the public, and *ave only as to sucfr creditors as may ac<'ep.t tho terms of such assignment and ' *x?cute a release of their claim against the debtor, nnd except ts hereafter providyd, 4ucb.a*4ignmp?t shall be ahsoJufefy null and void'and-of no "effect whatsoever." The ,iua|iifoat object of <he Act is to prevent an insolvent debtor froin transferring or assigning his proper* ty for the benefit of one or more of his t creditor* to the exclusion of all others ; ; and whether this object .is sought to be effected by a formal deed of the assign- 4 went, or in any .other mode, can make no 1 differ nee. Any other view, it seems to < us, would sacrifice Huhstanci! to men- < ( form, and enable insolvent debtors, by evasion, to effect a purpose declared by Statute to be unlawful. The Statute in a remedial unc, and should be so construed as to suppress tlio mischief which it was manifestly designed to prevent. It being conceded, that as we have seen, that the object of Kitchens and Wilfc* was, by the means of the papers above referred to, determined on in the outset, to cilect an assignment ol? the property of A. K. Kitchens, who was then iiiHolvcnt/.for tins beneiit of Wilks and the estate of Patterson, to the exclusion of all the other creditors of Kitchens, the transaction was in violation i of I he Statute and therefor . void. The judgment of this Court is that the judgment of the Circuit Court he 1 reversed and the case We remanded to i . that Court for a new trial. | Judge McGowan concurs in the oiiin- . ion,saying : I concur upon the additional ground 1 , that the conveyance of the land to Wilks 1 in consideration that he would pay the i ! donor's debt to the I'atterson estate was j substantially "an assignment" for the , payment of that debt. It has none of ; the characteristics of a sale pure and 1 simple, but rather of an assignment, in i which priority was given to a certain crcd- i itor, to the exclusion of all others. It , scums to me that if parties could oscape me consequences of thin just provision] of the law, simply by avoiding the use | of the word ' assignment," the Act would soon-become u dead letter. S.

The Good Nnino of Ills Futhci1 Invoketl to Save lliiu front the Penalty of Hiw MtHrfcedN. Yesterdny afternoon, at the Superior [ Criminal Court at Kast Cambridge, T Franklin J. Moses, ex-Governor ot " South Carolina, was pleaded in the dock for sentence, he having pleaued guilty ! to an indictment for obtaining money by i false pretenses front Col. T. \V. Higginsoti of ^nmlipiili'iv lli> wna not.. I - - r*-' ? " I uated, with hair and heard nearly white, . and presented the appearance of a man i entirely broken in health. Colonel Hig ginsou stated briefly the manner by ' which Moses imposed upon him ; that , he came to his house amd represented ? that he whs Captain Bryan of South L Carolina, and he (the Colonel) believed L him and j;ave him $34. Afterwatd he f telegraphed to Sonth Carolina, and . found that Captain Hryan had not loft i the State. Then the legal proceedings ' were instituted, which resulted in the ' nrrest of the prisoner in Detroit, Mieh, ighan. Judge Pitman then asked the : prisoner if he had anything to say upor. 1 the matter of sentence. Moses stood up . and addressed the Court as follows : May it please your Honor: Not on my account, but for the sake of the name I bear?which, until the death of tny father in 1877, was an honored one iu the public annals of South Carolina? I crave your indulgence for my utterance of > few words in connection with , the crime clia uU against me, and of which by my own admission, I stand before yon as guilty. Not under any circumstances could I have been able to adduce before the Court any facts which would have gone to prove me guiltless of the crime as charged, hut, were it not for the paucity of my pecuniary needs, it would have been within my power most abundantly to have proved by i those who are cognizant of tho premises . that oven before my accession to the gubernatorial clair of Sou'h Cirolii a, at the early age of thirty years, my mind wna in an unbalanced and unsettled con uiiiuii,cuiiNiMiueni upon iiui unjust and utter alienation of those upon whom, up to that time, my whole life hnd been , passed. That nlienntion, caused in the first instance by my sincere convictions ns to my public duty on the eve of "re. construction" in the South, was so complete ami unanimous ns to render me practically a stranger in the State which gave me birth and narrowed ?r?d confined my sphere of social existrnce to tho.se who entertained political convictions identical with my own. The*c troubles unnerved and almost paralyzed my mind. They left their tracos in streak* of living white upon my head, and?increasing in intensity as the years sped by, have left me nothing but the scattered wreck your Honor sees before you ?mind and intellect almost wholly gone, and a memory freighted ouly with blasted hopes and blighted nspirations. ; This condition of mind has been diaj? nosed by physicians nnder whoso cure 1 have been, anil it could be shown that . i nm in a mental and physical condition which would warrant my bciti/, if confined ut all. codidgned to a prison, among , criminals, but to some institution when; . thej "minister to minds diseased." The crime committed by me against Colonel ' Higginson was not a willful nnd pre* ^ meditated one. After many years of , suffering and privation I found myself i ?*.;?iv ..... " ? . ...... ...j laiuiiijr iii ?>t-w zoik, nnpover- i ixhed and unemployed. and I came to BoKtoa for tin? purport* of asking ai;I of I . one whom in earlier mid happier days it | I had been in my power to a*>dHt under al' most tfimitnr circumstanceM. To my horror and consternation 1 met with a negative reply to my earnest appeal. r Not for one moment had I thought nC O-- ? f such an answer, and it left mc aghast and bewildered. In this, hour of unlooked for refusal, the horror of the situation came 'upon tne with irresitible force. In my fevered imagination I saw my wife and little children?whom I love with passionate idolatry?-houseless and homeless on the public highways of a great city, dependent for shelter on i HHHBBjHHBflSBBfiKHHtnHflSHfil he charity of strangers. Like a drownng man at sea, iny inind looked uot upm the boundless stretch of waters in frhich I was engulfed without the sight >f a single friendly sail. The trial was :oo great for me. My mind gave way inder it. It was in this condition of nind the crime was committed. I ound myself with the moans of assistmce in ruy hands indeed, but, incredible us it may seem to your Honor, with in immediate sens** of self-condemnation ?t the method employed to obtain it* [ cherished the hope that in the near future I should be able to return the mousy. It was the old, old story. Temptation presenting itself in the hour of trial, but in my case the temptation came to a mind already enfeebled and diseased. and which, under otlu*r circumstances, could and would firmly resist its approach. May it please your Honor. I have a wife and children whom I dearly ?nd devotedly love, and who are left in n desolate condition. I have ventured to hope, for "hope springs eternal in tho human breast," that, in my approaching old age, tho frailties and infirmities of my life would have inc*t with pardon find the merciful oblivion of silcncc at the hands of my fellow-men. Unfori.~ t? r buimivi;, iiunvM-i, 11 niitjr ii'" lur mi* nnu those who are dependent upon me, the violated majesty of the law decreed otherwise, and 1, therefore, humbly confes* my fault, but plead in extenuation thereof the circumstances which rendered me almost crazed nt the moment of its commission. I entreat that your Honor will inquire whether it is not wholly unworthy of belief that a man who in the years that have gone have filled the positions and performed the duties that have fallen to my lot would, in hi* sober senses and with his mind in its full vigor, have stoop?'d to the commi<d-?u of a crime, the purpose of which was t>> obtain tlw comparatively sm tll sum of thirty-four dollars, and wh?>!h?-r it is n it c -ntrary to tho natural ord.-r of thin thtta man wlio lias pride in his :u?c.*.Ntry would choosc a criminal course of 1 iIV?most especially whin such a course i? in di rect opposition to hi* tastes and instincts From my earliest (lays I have bsen kuowr as a strictly temperate man. and hav< nwer taken part in ?ain?\s of chance whereby moin-y or anything cKe could bo gained or lo4. Your Honor, I haT< done the State mun" servic*. Hut j ahoTt time after the clone of the war, tin dor the appointment of the lutncntci General Canby, who at the time represented the Government us commanding general in South Carolina. I nccupiet acceptably to him, the position of Pis -1 T.. 1 1 L.1J iL. 1 i irii-i ?j tinge aiui iicia uiescaips 01 justice both on civil and criminal sid*s of th< court, among the people of two countie: in the State, at a time when the minds o: innn were inflamed with passion ani prejudice, the one against tht? other As u member of the Constitutional Convention of 1868, I took part in framing the new organic law, upon which, as r condition precedent, my native Stat* was readmitted to her place within tin Union. I served as the iHous^ of J?jpresontative.s, and as Adjutant and Inspector Genera! of the State from 1868 to 1872, in the fall of which year I was inaugurated as Governor, and held that position until the close of 1874. No amount of sorrow, no amout of suffering or misfortnm\ not etcn d?iath itself, which, aave for thw s.ikes of m_v wife and children, would W mo*t welcome, can rob me of the honor uf having l?fl my n%ine ax one those who bore a part in the rehabilitation of mv Statu under a government which s-curcs to evvr\ man within her borders the rights of > freemtn and the duties of a citizen. Jud^o J'itman said, addressing Mohvs ''Why did it not occur to you to stati your circumntanees nnd throw yourm-ll upon the generosity of C >1. Hig^inson, by mailing an appeal to him?" Mo*?r? replied:"! h?d just before applied to t man in Boston to whom I li.id sent ?25(1 whan he was in. confinement at the Conciorgerie in Paris as a dishonest bankrupt, nnd met with such a positive re fusnl that my mind was in a disturbed condition." Judge Pitman then said "It seems to ino that your moral sons'; is tnorc impaired than your intellectual sense. It is very sad to have to sentence a man of yonr ability, hut the facl of yonr being a person of such intelligence should deter you from the commission of crime. Yonr offense against Col. lligginson was a mean one, havinall the oloinents of treachery and deceit, The Court then sentenced the prisonei to si* months in the House of Correction, and he was taken to the prison aross the street in the custody of Warden Kisk.
