But wandering through her long Paviiions iaoeo'

Homes. that around us in their beauty hover,
Fall like this forest ram;

We could no, better exemplify the vast utility
of the Supreme Cour, jus, established in our
State, than by calling aucn,ion 10 the effect ot
one single decision recently made BY it, This
decision is to the following purport That The
declarations OF donor or siver that she or he
had ,g,rcn personal property, (negroes for 10
stance, and these declarations unaccompanied by
eridenee OF possessions or delivery of The property,
or Of circumstances which go 10 show that The
siver or sivcrs had parted with the dominion
over the property, DO not constitute good and
valid gift in law.
