PROBATE COURT DECIsIONs

An article from Wayne County papel
has been going the rounds" to the offec,

had decided that Sheriff was mot . proper
officer for the Probate Court. We ,houcb,
when we first saw the article that judge Ii,
had rot read the Probate code , cry careful.
ly, but at the same time We doubled the
truth OF the reported decision. II turns on,
that It was great mistake, as the decision
OF the Judge had no reference to that poip,
whatever. The following, which we find in
the o. D. Journal Of Saturday last, arc the
points decided
LIST. That The judicial power of the Pro-
bate C"urts is strictly confined und limited
oy statute; and that IN the exercise of crimi.
nal jurisdiction, he must strictly follow his
statutory authority.
I'd That oil process and orders from the
Prohate Court TO an officer, in the execution
OF his Judgment and sentence, must be in
writing, and under the seal of the Court.
3D. That the Probate Court cannot impri.
SOU man on mere verbal order; and thai
warrant Of commitment, after sentence for a
criminal office, issued by the Probate Court,
must be in writing, and under the seal of the
Court and plainly and clearly set out the
criminal charge as required by the net.
a'h' That the proceedings Of tho Probate
Court for violations Of the law to restrain
abuses in the 'ffic in Intoxicating liquors
must show, upoa their face, :hst the crimi-
nal charge wSs substantially, aud legally
lnsde' and that the judicial action of the
Court was' in substance a, least, in -conior.

Imported heavy draft locomotive weighing

The freight cars averaged ~ tons in weight,
making the sntlre weight on the bridge, the
cars having stopped to test it, over 800 tons.
The bridge, while this immense weight was

"WhereaS, Recent Developments in the

sentiments in the most unqualified manner,
do unanimously adopt the following resolu-
tions, viz
"Rssotred. /. Thatthe new party to which
we owe allegiance is not based on one idea
alone but comprehends and should always act
in reference to every principle that will pro-
mote the moral and political welfare of a

v ~ should be sectional, not national-tem-
pJrary, not permanent.
"Resolped, 3. That NATIVE AMERIcAN1sM,
