CRIMINAL CouRT.-Frank Camper, charged with
killing Patrick Raglan on the 18th of August 1850,
put upon his trial, p. r. Fendall, ESQ.,, and
VIM. X. Woodward, esq, appearing on the part
Of the prosecution, and Henry May, Daniel Rad
cffc, and +. G. Morgan, esqs., for the defence.
The indictment having been read, Mr.. Radcliffe
submitted to the court the propriety ofaskiug each
juror when called, certain questions respecting the
condition Of his mind with regard to the prisoner
Mr.. Fendall suggested that the conscientious
scruples Of the jurors respecting the death punish
ment should be evolved by the questions proposed
Mr.. May stated that there was no settled
form Of questioning; that il depended entire

dence in its decisions. The cause Of the accused
had been much prejudiced before the public;
opinions had been freely expressed throughout the
community. and even in tho public prints, The
prisoner had been condemned, and allegations
brought against him, having nothing to do with
the present case, had been made to bias the popu-

things, Mr.. May thought great circumspection
should be used to insure fair trial There

LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT.-ln the su,
preme court recently, Judge Fletcher pronounced
decision which is Interesting as the first applica-
ton in this country of principle Of the law OF
landlord and tenant. In this case, reported by
the Daily advertiser, the defendant Walter Baker,
brought writ of entry to recover possession OF
certain premises which he had leased the tenant,
Sarah A. Adams, for five years. to commence on
the frat of July, 1874. There provision in
the lease that either party might terminate the same
by giving six months notice in writing. On the
9Th of July ls47 Baker gave the tenant notice that
date. The tenant, however, refused to quit on the
expiration of the notice. Upon these facs the case
was argued. 1t was urged on the part Of the de-
mandant that, as no time was specified at which
the notice should be given it was only necessary
that six months actual notice should be given, ex-
piring mt any season. The tenant, however, con-
tended that there implied condition that the
lease should only terminate with some year OF the
tenancy. The court sustained this position, and
were OF opinion that the provisions of law and the
covenants in the lease did limit the power of the
tenant to give notice. and that this condition was
not to be construed arbitrary power which
the landlord could exercise without regard to its
consequences. BY the lease tenancy for five
years was created at fixed annual rent, and the
only mode Of doing justice between the parties was
TO give the one his annual rent, and the other the
occupation of the house for full year. The court
had no hesitation in adopting the rule that, unless
II wds expressly provided in the lease that II could
BE terminated at any time, it thustbe held that it
should only terminate with some year Of the tenan-

ASEcoSD MARnIAGE.--That truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction is proved by the following
of second marriage told by the Lewiston
(Me.) Journal. In 1914 Mr.. Thurston. of Pownal,
married young lady Of that place, with whom he
lived two or three years, and then left his wife
and went to the Britsh provinces, where,
short time after, it was reported that he
cuted for trespass upon the kings timber lands.
The wife, after this report became current, married
a second time with Mr.. Lowell, with whom she
lived until his death, which occurred few years
since Since that time nothing has occurred to
occasion doubt Of the truth of the rumor of the
death Of her husband, until few days since, per-
son called upon her aud stated that her husband
had recently died at Hudson, n Y, having been
injured by fall from his carriage, and offered her
$50 for assignment Of her right in his property.
This she very wisely refused to do. The next day
another man called upon her and offered her $50,
which she likewise declined. An inquiry in
stiuted and the result is, that a fortune of some
$4,000 will probably fall into her hands. Thurs
ton left-some eight nine children by second
marriage; but as this, in the eye of the law, was
illegal, she remains the sole heir.
