Litchfield enquirer., 1831-10-06

OOBsgsNsNseSsNe-sseH | ease. as it is csIled, the design of which is to bring the question of the Tariff before judge. came on in the United States District Court at Charleston on the 18th ult. The case Is br:efiv this: Mir. Hslmes imported two pack ages of goods from England, and gave bonds tO inc collector of Charleston for the amount of duty accruing on such goods, and on which bonds Messrs. MazycE and Gadsden are se- curities. The defendants are still members of the Charleston bar, and it is understood the importation was made especially for the purpose of bringing the question of the con. of the Tariff before judge, and with this view the payment of the Bond was re fused.
 The count room was SO crowded, says the Charleston Gazette, that we were unable to get within hearing of the speakers; but we understand the argument on both sides was very ably supported. The case was sustain 1 ed by Robert B. GiIchrist, Esq. District Att ;orney, and James l.. Pettigru, Esq. for the United States, and James G. Holmes and George M'Dufie, Esqrs. for the Defendants. The court opened at 10 o'clock, and the ar- gumest closed at about 4 o'clock. After the conclusion of the argument, the Court, in its charge to the Jury. briefly stated to them that it was a suit on Bond-that the execution of the bond had been duly approved-and that there was no evidence before the court or jury to invalidate the bond. The Jury found for the United States the amount of both bonds. An appeal has been taken, which will be heard by the Circuit Court at Columbia, in November next.-N. Y. Obs.

 Summary Justice was executed yesterday morning, by the People, on four of the ring leaders, engaged in the conspiracy, the ght- full disclosures respecting which, now agitate the public mind. The guilt of tbese mon- l sters in human shape is established beyond a doubt. A deep conviction settled in es cry bosom-that the measure was indispensable { to the safety of the cUmmunity-called for | their execution. If ever stern necessity re- quired prompt and vigorous course in mak. ing public examples, this necessity exists in our country.

 Ihe Dog.-We witnessed a few days since, the singular sagacty of dog belonging to one of our subscribers, who lives remote from the high road. about three hundred yards.- At the sound ofthe horn (the usual announce ment that the Advocate is arrived) the trusty dog immediately makes his way to the place where the paper is deposited. and transports it in safety to the domicile of his master. We dare say, if this dog had a nose calculated for spectacles, he would also read, and thereby become dog g-malical politician.-N. 7. Ado.
