gentlemen who compose the Circuit Court of this Dis

supererogation. But do appeal from this shameful
and wanton attack upon Judiciary to the honest
feelings and honorable principles which yet remain in
the community.
Is the Globe ignorant that Jury of the country have
passed similar Judgment in the of Mr. Flebrown?
Is ignorant that this verdict has again been ratified
by another jury, in the of MIR. Mcdaniel? Is it
ignorant that these juries have been summoned by
Jackson Marshal and that Jackson have set upon
them In the discharge of their duties, upon their Off

these cases against the charge of decaton and have
stamped falsehood upon the accusation.

At the late Jackson meeting proposition was made

Are we to understand by this, that who approve

which review is concisely this
That in the settlement of such accounts whore i;

in subsequent year found the debtor tho princ;no
sum due to the executor administrator trustee is to
be taken first from the principal DUE from him in
any subsequent year, and if the principal sum- so found
due in the subsequent year. exceeds the principal due
to the executor in the preceding year. the excess is to
be taken from the accrsng interest. For example A.
being the executor of is found the creditor of the
tate, the 31st of December, 1929, in tho sum of
$50oO for the transactions nf that year. On the 3lst
of December $780, he is found the debtor of the estate
for his transactions the year 1890 the sum of 81 500
This principal sum Of $4,000, is to be taken from the
principal sum of S5,00p due for the preceding wear
and leaving due $500 Of principal money and $500 Of
interest The same ruc is TO be applied where the
ecutor trustee is debr the first years transactions
