EN SHERIFF pAa9tHs. 1t is stated IN somo of,hc
pepHra' h Il although the Jury IN the .ase of Tx
sheriff Parkins, brought ia n verdict OF not guilty
upon the charge of insanity, the Chancellor has
thought proper TO 20 upon an opposite opinion and
appoint n receiver frr the EsaheiIH property.
The trial by Jury has therefore mol accomplished
much ia this case, --aud the man, charged with no
eltoe, and acquitted III misfortune. is nevertheless
disposaeased ofh's whole estate. We do not pre-
tend 10 have investigated the matter minueiy but
we muslsay the result strikes us n strange one, apI
orc INTO which The community ought 10 look for
No ero al Interested II there ss power anon Va
(which gainst the verdict Of a jury can deprive a
man Of bis whole estate, 1t IL certainly pow no
alarming ~ exists my where else in the world.
We pray our GOOD Chancellor 10 rtvae this moag
dangerous opnon, md either shut up ox.ShnriT
pn,kins man nsnne llospita, or # he goes al large
let It be as morn ashni, responsb.e 10 the Laws.
There are some other strange points about this
rnusirr OF an estate said by some OF the Witnesses
10 be worth four hundred thousand dollars, bus
what VIC have SAID will be suiheion, for the present.

An article having appeared in,wo papers yes
tefday, stating That receiver had been appointed
by the Chancellor to take chsrge of the estate of
Mr. Porkns, we deem it our duty in order to correct
efroneou, Impressions TO stuie the facts AS eommu-
II is, perhaps rocoeccJ, by of read
ers that Mr.. Ryckman, Of Albany. obtained vcr-
diet Of : 900 dollars some months since, against
MI Parkins, for n Islander, winch verdict was not
paid By Mr. Park6s, non any property placed
