WhGt?
or ASMALL M1sTAKE.--In the Vicksburg
Wing Of the 7lh inst. we notice an article
in relation to the course pursued BY the pre-
siding Judge o! the Yazoo Circuit Court, in
granting to the prisoner odum a new trial
from the proved fact that some of the jurors
on that case had paTtook of spirituous liquor.
This the editor of the Wing calls "a queer
case,'' and exclaims, 'Verily this judge must
be ''second Daniel come to Judgment
We are of opinion that this Puny sarcasm
was meant as home thrust for the Hon.
Morgan L. Fitch and not intended as slur
on the legal capacities Of Judge Rawlings,
who was then presiding. Of this probably
the editor of the Wing was not aware, for
we should not look for an attack upon Judge
Rawlings from that source, knowing as we
do, the high estimation in which that gentle
man was held when editor of the Canton
Advocate, By Maj. M. He could then say OF
do scarcely any thing that was wrong, and
surely such a change cannot have since ia
ken place. The editor of the Wing has,
doubtlessly, committed small mistake.
1t will be seen, however, that Judge Raw
lings was perfectly correct in the course he
pursued in the t'queer case" alluded to, by
referring to Fourth Howard, 1877; State vs.
Heard, where Judge Sharkey acted in like
manner under similar circumstances.
