Campbell, in consequence OF Brown alias
! Hatch having had him arrested for robbery
Both parties have enjoyed a very fair reputa-
ton in the county, DR.. Hatch having held n
commission as Justice of the peace, from the
Governor, previous, to the "Express'' affair,
under the name of David Brown. Some
strange developments will probably grow out

benefit the public.
Countv Co1ut-J Merritt Steele, Esq, .Aior-
neu for The STATE The following business was
disposed of in this court yesterday State VS.,
Edward Parsons, indicted for an assault and bat
terry on Mary Parsons, his wife. This case was
commenced OF Monday and elected some very
entera ming facts, which necessarily caused
much merriment in the court. The cause of
the difficulty between the wife and her husband,
was in consequence of the wife being fond Of
music, which the defendant detested and had
interdicted in his house. The wife however
had wied that she would have music, and
"what woman wills, she'ldo," and so on one
occasion she had attempted to play merry
tune upon an old fashioned musical instrument
called a "fddle," when her "liege lOrd' took
the fiddle away ''Ui Ct a,miS," and the result
was-an ill-ieeling between them. Another
cause was jealousy" on the part Of her husband

"got lea lous if she spoke to any man." He was
Jealous as she asserted without cause, and
named men be was jealous of, ~whom

their strict morality, had never before been
breathed, and which conclusvely proved that it
was without any iGst cause. In regard to the
assault, il appeared to have been committed
