TEsTAMENTARY DIsPosITIoN OF CHILDREN
George 5. Hamilton (Protestant), of South Pitts
burgh, Pa, died a few months since, leaving n

he expressly set forth his desire and solemn re.
quest that the children, Emma NJ, Margaretta V.

he named a guardian for each of his children. In
of this will. the children we're placed
in charge Of the guardians appointed. Mrs. Ham
ilton, the mother. then applied for a writ OF habeas
corpus to obtain custody Of the children, on the
ground Of maternal right and alleged ~illegality of
such dispositions of them by the testamentor.

been disposed of by Judge Williams, of Pitts 7
burg who denied the application of the mother on /

minor child may devise the custody Of such child 4
during his or her minority or for any shorter

The grand jury of this parish has found a bill Of
against George W.. Hardy, who, seye-
raj weeks ago, shot III. G. Ii. Stone, whom he
charged with seducing his daughter. The bill
was found on Saturday last. The trial will prob \
ably take place in tho course of a month or six
weeks. Public opinion now seems to he that the Z
was totally inexcusable, and that young '
Stone has met an unmerited fate. This is a truly Z
melancholy case. The father ID comparatively IN '
old man and heretofore stood well in the commu- d
nifty as a teacher of youth; now he is immured t
in a dungeon and charged with murder. Stone 9
