A Novel Case.
Trial Justice 0. T. Calhoun had a
novel case before him on yesterday, tin
points involved in whict deserve the attention
of our legislators.
One Henry Rykard, colored, had been
indicted for disposing of goods under
lien. Between the issuing of the warrant
and the trial of the cr % the defendant
gave other security the prosecutor
for the payment of the debt.
The prosecutor then agreed to drop the
case against him. Yesterday Mas the
day appointed for the trial, and the
county had been put to considerable expense
in the way of summonsing witnesses,
&c. When the case was called
ktr Vkto uttAvnotr on
kiiu |ii vnvvuvvi| kij IIIO avbui IIUJ | UIInoun
ceil that he wished to discontinue
the case. ..The Trial Justice had some
doubt <;as to whether he had then the
right to discontinue, and after consulting
authorities ruled that he had no discretion
in the matter, but to save the
county the expenses of the case, said he
would discontinue it, provided the prosecutor
would pay the costs.
This was refused, the Prosecutor's
Attorney contending that he represented
the State, and hail the right to say
whether the case was one foi trial or not.
The Trial Justice held that he too was
the guardian of the State's interests and
it was his business to see that neither
State nor county suffered in his court.
He called the case, and the prosecutor
was put upon the stand. The Prosecuting
Attorney refused to ask any questions
material to the case, wh-ir] the
Trial Justice took the examination in
hand himself.
The case finally went off on a technicality,
the prosecutor not having the
mortgage itself with him, and the county
was thrown in the costs.
We say this matter deserves the ntten- .
tion of our legislators. Here the whole
machinery of the Criminal Court had
been brought into actton merely to enable
the prosecutor to collect a debt,
and after the securing of the debt, the
case was dropped and the county made
to pay for it. What the remedy is our |
legislators will have to determine.

Marriage.
On list'Wednesday evening, November
17, Mr. W. C? DuPre and Miss Sallie
Shillito. both of this place were made
man and wife. The interesting ceremony
was performed at the residence of the
bride's parents, by Rev. S. A. Weber,
in the presence of the relatives and a
few of the friends of the contracting
parties. This young couple start life
under very auspicious circumstances,
and the Mkhsknoeh desires to add its
best wishes to those of a host of others
for a long continuance of the same.
A Nuisance.
We would call the attention of the
Town Council to a growing; nuisance, vis:
the erection on the bidewalks of stands
for.the sale of apples, groobers, &c. Frequently
the sidewalks are crowded with
noisy negroes, and passage along them
is impossible. If the parties have any
right at all to sell these articles, they
should be made to take their stands off
the pavements. We hope our city fathers
will look after this matter.
