Error to the Court of Common Pleas of Lake
county Reserved by the District Court of said
county,
Scott. J. Where a record of a proceeding in
the Court of Common Pleas, to subject lands of
decedent to the payment OF debts, upon the
petition of the administrator, under the Statute
Of 1881, sets out that it was shown to the
Court that due notice had been given to the
defendants" Held.
That this language imports a finding by the
Court that the notice which the law required,
under the circumstances, had been regularly
given. Evidence will not be received to con
tradict this finding of the Court Where juris
detion is shown or must be presumed, the judg-
nent or order of the Court cannot be collaterally
mpeached.
Where a subscribing witness to a deed OF
other instrument of writing resides beyond the
reach Of the process Of the Court, the rule seems
to be, that his handwriting may be proved

writ of habeas corpus to issue for the benefit of
Simeon Bushnell and his nineteen fellow pri e

that the U. s. District OJurt has not yet ex

sentence, it is to be presumed that right and

barely escaped tremendous fire A clerk en-.
ployed in the store went into the cellar to draw
some burning fluid, and while in the act, by
some cause or other, the fluid was ignitcd 10y a
lamp setting near by, and in an instant the
whole cellar was envelOped in flames, and the
fluid still runniAg from the barrel 1he cry OF
lire was soon raised, aud the citizens, with their
usual promptness, Immediately repaired to the
spot to render assistance, and in short time
succeeded in subduing the flames by throwing
green hides on the fluid There were large
number of camphene, burning fluid and tar bar
rels close by, and had it not been for the timely
assistance rendered. the store in a very few mo.
mcnts would have been in flames throughout.
This should be warning to all from using

Loss OF LIFE BY THE GALGs.-The April
gales have been particularly disastrous to the
fishermen of the Western part of the Lake
Nine persons belonging to Monroe have not
been heard from since leaving in small boats to
visit their fishing grounds just previous to
hard gale, though search has been made by
steamer among the islands and other places of
refuge in a storm. That they found watery
graves is rendered almost certain A fish boat
capsized last Saturday off Port Austin, and
three young men named Duel, Reed aud War
ner, were lost The fourth was saved by cling
ing to the boat until assistance arrived. They
were all residents of Bay City
