STRAY Moe LAw.-Two neighbors purchased
piece of land jointly at ten thousand dollars Mr.
North and Mr.. So,,th-Mr South paying two
thirds of money Mr. South owns mules and says
he cannot cultivate his new land without them
Mr.. North gives Mr.. South to understand that he
and his children have been raised with pre1udlces
against that sort of animal and proviso Is formed
against them by him, and he sends some OF his
children who take possession of the whole tract
and excludes Mr.. South entirely Mr. South, a
gallant and cihlyric man, raised in Virginia, and
domicied in Georgia, has solemnly declared that
he would "resist at every hazard and to the last
extremity Mr.. North is alarmed-he tells Mr..
South that he will compromise with him, and pro-
poses that if ever one of Mr. South's mules should
ever stray off and be found the old premises of
Mr.. North, that Mr.. South might send and take
him back if he could catch him. Some of his
children might interfere and prevent it three times
out of four, and put him to as much expense as
the mule might be worth, but Mr.. South must risk
that. Mr.. South gives up his land, and his re-
solves, his equal rights and other tribes, for the
glorious privilege which he had before of catching
stray mule if he could.
