Giring Tnformation.-0n Sunday last, Lieut.
Ranes of rhe Night Watch, under the instruc-
tions of the Mayor, visited one or more of The
African churches of the city, and read to the
congregation the ordinance concerning uniaw-
full assemblies, for which ne was kindly
thanked. For months past complaints have
been made 10 the Mayor that the sidewalk on
Broad street near the First African Church, is
continually obstructed on the Sabbath day by
the congregation there worshipping and 10 OBJ
yiate that nuisance IN the future Mr.. Ranes
was directed to let them know that they Were
violating city law. We presume he also in
formed them that they Were required TO give
the sidewalk to white persons, when passing,
and that failure to do so laid them liable TO
punishment.

INTERESTING DEcIsIoN-a case re

INTERESTING DECIstoN.-A case recently
decided in New. York, is thus noticed by the
correspondent of the Charleston Courier:
An Exchange and Collection Broker of this
city, sent a draft of $3.50 TO the Farmers Bank
of North Carolina, for collection. Mr. Morri-
son, the broker IN question, had frequently
before done business with the North Carolina
Bank, and in all cases heretofore the Bank
had remitted him by drafts. In this Instance
however, the draft of $3.50 was collected and
sent in bills TO Mr.. Morrison. He never re-
ceiyed them, and sued the Bank for the
amount. And, although the money was re-
mitted in registered letter. the jury before
whom the case was tried, decided that it was
not a remittance" in the spirit of the law
and gave a verdict against the Bank for the
amount.
