Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1860-10-09

CoENTrrEE os CouRr HovsE AM JAfL--
Prom a communication laid on our table, We
learn that we were in srrsr in stating in ouTsan-
DAVIS issue.that a eommittse had been appoint
ed By The county court TO act in concert with
that appointed BY the city council on the
subject OF a new court house and jail. II
seems that the action Of the court is TO be en-
tlrsly independent Of and without reference
to tie committee appointed BY the city eoun-
ell. The court passed an order at its session
on the first inst, appointing the judge ana iouf
members of the court TO act with him as
! committee to purchase ground and erect Jan,
and report plans and specifications, and the
probable cost Of the new court house to the
I court al Raleigh, at the next quarterly term.
Wien this Jail and court house are finished
they will belong exclusively 70 the county, and
are placed By law under the control Of The
county Judge. The COMMITTEES on the part Of
the court is composed OF gentlemen who have
no private ends to meet in the location Of the
buildings. ard they have determined to place
no store houses undsr the eourt house, as has
been suggested, as the law gives the county
court no authority TO erect business houses.

A MANS HEAD SAWED IN Two-We learn
the Argus that enc Of the employees in a q
lwmil at Crockett station, Gibson county,

saw. The instrument grated through
is hair. entered the scalp, and cracked The y
as it passed through. Death-instanta-
eous death-was Of course supposed to have
lsued, but the man fingered four hours in e
agony, every pore Of his skin exuding {
].oisture, and his eyes twitehing from side to y
he in a manner most horrible to behold. This
-eadful accident occurred last Wednesday,
