ed to have sole sway of the city, the force
of watchmen and police, being entirely in
adequate to preserve the public peace and

Reau Hickman in a New York Court

The New York correspondent Of the Phil
adelp hia Mercury has the following in re-
gard to that distinguished Gnancer, Beau
Hickman, Esq who visited New York late
ly to regulate monetary affairs III that quar-
ter -
A rich scene came of the ether day III
the Marine Court Your readers will all
remember the celebrated Beau Hickman. 49,
Beau has been staying here for some weeks
past, at the Florence Hotel, where his bills
are paid by his friends in the gambling and
sporting lines On Thursday Beau was
subpennd as a witness in the above court
The attorney on the opposite side was reg
ular tartar. He pridos himself upon his
skill i'll examining witnesses, and claims
that he can confuse a witness more success
fully than any other member of the bar
One of his methods of doing this is,
when the witness hcsitates, to snap at him
like an angry terrier, worry and abuse him
for his hesitation, and then seek to eonfound
and embarrass him.
Before this man Beau was bsought up for
cross examination Beau took the stand,
and, after giving his testimony in very
timid manner, was handed over for cross
questioning to this keen set lawyer. lie
had, in his direct testimony, affirmed that
the sharp lawyers client had mo money
whatever" The counsellor, with look at
Beau, such as Il hungry dog gives at bone,
asked
"lIow do you know, Mr.. Hickman, that
my client had no money? Are you the
keeper of bis pocket book p
Gle told nue. So SIN
"When did he tell you so 2"
This morning"
''Whcrc sir p
I'm this very reoM.
"What did he say, sir? Come, give us
his very words none of your differences,
sir"
Il don't IKE to answer that question:"
''iIo, no. So you're afraid to answer
that question, are you? | knew | should
drive you inte Il close corner Come, out
With it, and none Of your Sinking here"
= should rather DC excused"
Then shall appeal to the court to COM
init you for contempt,
'sWell, sir, if must answer, he told me
this morning that he had no money."
"Well, sir, what language did he use :"
"Why, l asked him to loan me half a
dollar, and h& told me he couldn't fer you
had robbed him Of every cent of his money,
and if he Didn't get out of your clutches
very soon, his children would starye"
The lawyer had ~ further Questions to
ask. \ roar Of laughter arose in The court
which required some trouble to check, and
by the time lawyer had collected his thoughts
again, the case was decided against him.

Remarkable Instance of Neroism.

The Rev. Mr.. sonddcg, % India, in q
letter to the Christian lntelligencer, gives
the following instance of heroism, called
forth by the Indian mutinies:
Let Americans never be ashamed that
Englishmen are their forefathers. England
is a noble country. Her sons are heroes
and her daughter are heroines. This re-
bellion has brought out deeds that deserve
to be associated with those valorous actions
which we, with throbbing pulses, read in
history. In one place. a lady and her hus-
band fled in their carriage. lie stood up
right She took the rcins She dashed the
horses through IA band of mutineers, while
he, With cool aim, shot dead one who seized
the horses heads, and another who climbed
upon the carriage behind to cut him down.
On they fed, till again they found them
selves among fees and rope stretched
across the road made further progress ap-
pear impossible. True to herself, size dash
ed the horses at full speed against the rope,
and as they. bearing it down, stumbled. she
by rein and whip, raised them, while her
husbands weapons again freed them from
those who succeeded in~leaping upon them.
He was wounded, but both escaped with
their lives In another place young lady,
the daughter of an officer shot seven mu-
tinocrs before they killed her. a captain
pressed by his sepoys, with his good sword
slew 26 Of them before he fell.

IMPORTANT pEcIsION.-A decision

IMPORTANT OCCASIONAL decision
of great importance, says the Abingdon
Democrat, was made by Judge Fulkerson
OF Tuesday last in Scott eounty-a decision
which, if sustained, may lead to extensive
litigation. Mr.. Jos. I. Campbell, as coun-
SCI, contendcd that forthcoming bond,
taken some time last fall, was null and void i.
inasmuch as the officer who took it was not
a bona fife officer, the act Of Assembly au-
thorzing the extension Of the term of office
of the sheriits being unconstitutional. htr.
G. argued the point at considerable length
and With great ingenuity; -The Judge de-
oiaed the pointin Mr. C's favcr. His Honor
heid that by the Constitution thc term of
office Of sllerffs was limited to'"tno gears,
and that the Legislature had no authority
to extend it a single day, that the holding
over by the sheritfs was in fact an extern
sion of their term of Office and clearly vio-
lation of the Constitution lie accordingly
ordered the bond to be set aside. The same
decision was rendered in two other similar
eases
