AS the occurrences which now agitate
this city, are likely to excite enquiry and
comment in our filter ftates, an account of
Their origin is thought neceliary.
Some days previous to the openine of
the fuperior court, Judge Bowen arr I'D
mere. AS one means of exciting our adrni-
i@pon' lie thought proper 10 commit an
o'' Improper to tate, at respectable
boarding houte, which being juftly refent-
{" by the lady who kept it, he. carried the
quarrel to an >aiiallt on her, and iTued
fafety. M i'''''ie
Thejudge delivered acharge which, Tor Vi
oience OF language and irrelevance to le-
gal duties is believed TO. be without pa
r1!lel.--Ihe fentiments are fuch as, al this
period are improper snG dangerous il the
extreme. The fubiect was wholly politi-
cal and foreign to the nature of judicial
Charge. None but a man desperately de-
PRAYED would delight in ravaging the crea-
ton, that fome evils might be extirpated.
Conceiving the tendency of the charge 10
be alarrningly evil en- "Wednesday LEFT,
the Grand. Fury very properly and fpirited
ly prelented the charge itfeif, and recon-
S.
Judge Bowen, in rage, inftantly direct
cd the fherif to confine them in goal. At
this an involuntary aud almoff univerfal
NO iAued from the per IONS prsfent. The
Judge then broke ont in the mott outrage
Gus and profane language drew a EiftoI
and declared he zvonid. i,oot tbe raJrai cvbo
Aare (ag No. The Grand Jury declared
their readinela 10 obey the order of Court,
End were fuiercd to be committed the
whole body of the ipectatord ATTENDING
them.
An order was then made by TIL Judge,
that hiC charge ihould be publilhed in The
Georgia Republican, and the court was ad-
jonrDed.
The gentlemen of the Bar, met and paf-
fed ieveraI rdolutions on the occafion, one
81 which was TO give dinner to Tic Grand
Jury, and 20 dine with them at the Jail,
which was accordingly done.
AT one O'Clock The citizens met at the
Exchange and paGed Il number of relouti-
ons fuited to the emergency. The meet
aug exceeding four hundred.
Theft proceedings enraged the Judge to
that degree that he began TO threaten the
lives ofthe citizens, fefting fire to the city
and deluging it with blood. A warrant
founded Oh theie threats and the aGault on
Mrs.---was iflued for his confinement
the charge being Imported by the afidagits
Of feveral Respectable characters. When
taken, he endeavored to efcape, and halh-
ed a pifol at the lherif.
About 10 O'Clock in the evening, he wa.
committed TO the common Jail of Che coun.
II, where he now remains.
ON Thurfday morning the Grand Jury
applied 20 the Inferior Court for a writ 81
