THOMPSON TYLER.

| yAIILLIAM THOMPSON, Justice Of the Peace
w Police Magistrate, and Notary Public, will at
tend TO official business every day, Sundays excepted
from 10 o'clock, A. M, until O'Clock, T. M. His
Office is at the corner of 9th street and Louisiana
avenue his dwelling is the east side of 9th street
between E and F streets. The advertiser respect
fully calls upon those defendants who desire him to
act officially in their cases, to intimate this to the
officer, and request him to leave the warrant when
served on them at the Office Of the advertiser. He
regrets have occasion for stating that by the unfair
means which have been used by certain officers to
persuade and deter defendants against appearing at
his Office he has been deprived of large amount Of
corporation and civil business, which was intended
for him. IA.
The advertiser is not SO unreasonable as to expect
the officer, when he arrests stranger, or citizen, in
whose promise to appear before justice Of his own
choice, no reliance can be placed, should indulge the
defendant by taking his word But it is hoped by the
advertiser, teat attempt will hereafter be made BY
the officer to persuade influence, or deter defendants,
either in corporation civil cases. from selecting the
justice before whom their cases shall be tried, as the
latter practice has always been the usage and cour
tesy Of the most experienced and respectable officers
and is considered reasonable privilege if not legal
right, which every respectable defendant may claim
in the District Of Columbia.
Notarial, Agency, and Collecting business will be
faithfully attended to. nov S--3t

We do not see it announced in the Army and

warrant US in asserting that this officer has been

pleasure in making this statement, although we
part with the first named gentleman on the kind
est terms. General apathy was an easy good
natured fellow, affable alike to friend and foe.
During an armistice he would do well enough, and
no one was a better companion in bivouac, but
for pitched battle give US the same commander
we had in the last campaign General Vigor.
