Lewis County BlOtted 0ltl

Several years ago, as oul rfaders
are aware, our Legislature provided
for the establishment of a new cPunty,
from fractions Of MaurY, Lawrence,
Wayne, and Hickman. At thf time
that the surveys we're made for the
boundaries Of the new county, the
Surveyor Of Ma ry, Dqeid G. pitch
ell, Esq, took the position that the
proceedings on the part of the com
missioners we're Illegal and unconsti-
tutionaI. But little attention was
given to his views at first; but he
persisted, and finally induced the
County Court Of Maury to enter suit
against Lewis county, by telling its
members that if they did not do SO,
he would indict Maury for dereliction
of duty. Well, the case was thrown
into the Circuit Court, but, through
some informality, Maury lost the de-
cision. An appeal " as taken to the
Supreme Court, and the case was
finally disposed Of at the term just
closed. 1t was decreed that Every
step taken in determ mining and loca-
ting the limits of the new county
were unconstitutional the fractions
were retroceded I'd the original coqn-
ties from which they were taken, ahd
thus Lewis county was effectual ly
@wiped OUT WE believe that this
case is without a parallel in Tennessee
history.
The present Legislature, in ord Ter
that justice might be rendered un TO
all, has, by special act, Iegalized t he
