report Of he Select Committee on the crest laws

cies had been discovered in it. though it was cor
rect enough for the purposes for which Col Payne
wanted it-taat the Clerks do not usually classify
the different kinds Of license, but mix them up tc-
gethe. making it difficult to look over all The stEte-
ments OF the Clerks accurately, without having
full time to do so-thst at the time the re-
port was handed to Col. Payne some of the
Clerks had not made their statements to the Coup
iroller, aud that Dickson county was one Of those
in that condiiOu--that Robertson county had paid

Beside the old brook slrsaa,
Where We were school boys in old time,
When manhood vas q dream;
The brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away

The dear old place to day.
The school house is no more, John,
Beneath cur locust trees
The wild rose BY the window side
No more waves In the breeze
The scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has been ploWed up by stranger hands,
Since you and were gone.
The chesuut tree Is dead, John,
And what is ssdder 10 ~
The broken grapevine Of our swing
Hsngs on the Withered bought
read our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare.
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
As we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass grown hank, John,
looked FOR our old spring,
That bubble ddoEn the slier path,
Thrae pace from the swing
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool Is black and bare,
And not a fost, this many day,
It seems, has trOdden there.

That wandered up the hilij

And seems so lone and still
The birds sing yet among the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not a voice Of human kind
Where all our voices Tung.

That lies as in old time,
That same half panel in the path
We used 30 oft to climb
And thought how Ger the bars OF lie
Our pharmacies had passed on,
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.

Qelk, vs. The STATE.
The proof of the guilt of the plaintiff in error in
this case is so meagre AMI unsatisfactory that we
should be 10th TO permit the conviction to stand if
the instructions of the circuit judge the jury had
been proper. But we do not so consider them 1t
is a rule that if witness swear positively that he
saw or heard fact, and another who was present,
that he did not hear it. and the witnesses are
equally faithwOrthy the affirmative witness is to be
believed. Ii he testify untruy he is guilty of per-
jury, but IL by means will follow, that the mega
tive witness would be perjured although the afirma
tive were true. The falsity OF his testimony if it
actually false, might be attributed inatten-
ton mistake, or defect of memory In short, it is
a case of knowledge and the want Of it. One wit
ness EHoUS and the other does not.
It is evident the circuit Judge put the case to the
Jury upon this rule and that il must have controlled
their verdict In this. we think he erred The
guilt or innocence Of the defendant depended en-
tirely upon the swearing of BlufOrd, Emory and
Thomas Phillips These witnesses, with the de-
PENDANT and OtheFs, stayed all night at the house Of
Phillip father The defendant with Gna Adkina and
another were lying in the same bed, and several
others in the same room. The crowd were talking,
and some OF them were drunk. Emory stated that
he heard the defendant use the obscene language
charged in the observation-disclosures his voice, and
hOuqht It was his but might be mistaken that he
heard Adkins also use the language and his voice
and defendants were somewhat alike. 1t does not
appear whether this witness was drinking nor does
il appear what were bis opportunities to have
heard what vas Sald-noF WhefhSP ne was IN the
same room. On the other hand-the witness PhE
lips states that he was in the same room-was So
Der and paid particular attention to what said
the crowd being at the house of his father, and
he being in the belief that they acting badly
that he heard the words charged in the present
ment and Hey 1csre used by Adkins and not the de-
teldaHt he knew very well and could tell the Voice
Of both. Now, it is plain that Philips is the more
positive witness of the two-and that he enti-
tied to the superior credit and yet under the
charge Of the Circuit Judge his evidence must have
hecn discarded by the Jury. The testimony Of
these witnesses might very well haze been recon
cilod consistent with the innocence of tho defend
ant. upon the suppOsition that Emory was mistaken
and that the superior and pOSitire knowledge Of
Phillips entitled higher Credence and tie facts Of
the should have been submitted to the jury
under this view of the law.
Reverse the judgment and remand the cause.

DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT.

Opinions OF the Supreme Court OF tn e
state OF Tennessee, at Knoxville SeP-
TENDER Terms 1853.

Opinions of the supreme Court OF the
state OF Tennessee, at KnOxvilles SeP-
TENDER Terms 1859.
Walker us the Adm'rs Of Moarty.
This case originated before aJustice Of the Peace.
There we're six separate suits upon many distinct
claims Judgments being rendered against the de-
PENDANTS below, he appealed to the Circuit Court,
where the cases were, by consent Of the parties,
consolidated Judgment there, also, being against
Walker, he has appealed, in error, to this court.
The contest here is as to a note for $50, dated the
oath of January. 1858. made payable by Walker to
Moore and M'Carty. The warrant or summons sued
out upon this note was to answer the complaint Of
Andrew Galbreath, and VIM p. NJ Gambrel, Adm'rs.
of A. p. MCarty, deceased. in plea Of debt due by
note.
The Circuit Judge charged the jury, that the note
being payable to Moore and rCarty, in the absence
of proof showing that A. P. M'Carty member of
the firm of Moore and rCarty and that MCaFty
was the surviving member Of the firm, there would
be such variance between the cause of action set
forth in the warrant and the note read in evidence
as would defeat a recovery under that warrant
A new trial is now claimed upon the ground, that
the verdict is against the charge of the Circuit
Cour. and entirely unsupported by the evidence.
1t is said there Is no proof Of the partnership OF
Moore and MCarty, or that A. P. GCarty was a
member of that firm; and nOEe that he was its
viving member.
1t is true there is no direct evidence of the part
nershp; but it does distinctly appear that Walker
executed this note to A. p McCarty, personally and
the fact that he tookit payable to Moore MOCar-
ty is some evidence that he had an interest in it,
either as partner Of Moore, or as joint payee
with him. Besides it is shown from other portions
of the testimony, that ~ p. McCarty not only had
an interest in this note, but that there was some
reason to believe he solely interested in it The
defendant Is shown have treated with him as the
creditor and the person who entitled to collect
it, and he expressly promised him to pay it, provi-
ded he redeemed a tract of land of one Hipsher.
This right Of redemption he afterwards sold to Hip
sher.
These facts furnish some evidence that McCarty
had become the legal owner of the note BY the death
of Moore; and under our practice we cannot say the
verdict is unsupported.
We may remark. that it is immaterial whether
Moore and A. P. McCarty, were partners, or joint
payees. Upon the death Of Moore, the legal title
and right of suit in the note would survive to Nc
Carly; and his personal representatives, might well
maintain this action.
In this view of the case, it follows that the Cir
cult Judge did not in refusing to withdraw the
note from the jury upon the ground Of variance
