Saint vs.. Smith.

This was an action of trespass On the trial. YER
dict and Judgment were rendered for the defend
ant.
The plaintiff was Livery Stable keeper in the
city of Memphis and had in his stable mule, which
had been placed there to be fed, by one Swan. The
defendant was the sheriff of Shelby county, and
writ of replevin against Swan, having been placed
in his hands he entered the Livery Stable, which
was open, and in obedience to the command of the
writ seized the mule. The plaintiff refused TO let
the defendant remove the mule, unless he would pay
the charges for keeping ID the defendant declining
to do So the plaintiff locked the stable door, leaving
the defendant and mule fastened up therein There
upon the defendant broke open the stable door and
took the mule of with him.
Upon these facts it is insisted for the plaintiff
that tie Sheriff guilty of trespass in forcibly
taking the mule out of the plaintiffs possession.
without paying rendering the amount due him
for keeping the mule. for which it is claimed he
had lien on the property.
1t is conceded that in general livery stable keeper
has no lien upon horse delivered to him for keep
ing, for his charges. But it is said that, by par
ticular custom of the city of Memphis he has such
a lien and proof of such local custom was offered,
but the Court refused 10 admit it. IL is clear that
in the absence of any special agreement, livery
stable keeper has no such lien, blythe general law.
Hunts Com. C Ed 634-G, note b. and cases re
ferred to and it is equally clear that no such lien
can be claimed by force OF any usage prevailing IN
the city of Memphis.
II is certainly true that much of the Common
Law of England, and of the American States too,
rests upon no other foundation, so far as we have
any knowledge, than that of custom and has &C
nnired the force of law in that way. And the COM
mon law. everywhere is constantly adopting, as
rules and principles the mere usages OF the commu-
nifty.
But to acquire the force Of law such customs
must have been established, and have become gene
raj, that presumption OF knowledge Dy tlie par,
ties can he said TO arise With reference to such
customers only, can the parties be presumed-ln
the absence of special agreemeDt-to have CONTRACT
ed, as the law of their contract.
The proof as to the local and particular usage OF
Memphis. was therefore properly rejected
1t follows that there is no error in the Judgment,
and it is affirmed. MCKINNEY

Lincolns majority in the State very nearby 1850
Fuller returns may reduce this but think not
below 10000.
We think Governor Morgan's majority exceeds
Lincoln's. His vote is not quite heavy, but Mr..
Brady has poled perhaps 10000 in the State, which
comes out OF Kelly's vote. OF course the whole
Republican State ticket is elected, and probably by
at least 600 majority.
The old Senate (Republican) holds over.
The new Assembly is somewhere near 80 Repub-
licaus to 80 Fusion. The majority cannot be less
than so.
We believe that the members of Congress stand
"a Republicans to 9 Fusion. Still, do not feel
entirely sure of Van Wyck, in the Orange, and Syl
yester, in the Ulster district.

And her lip Is like the srmac,

Poor Ralph had been crazed with her
Madonns brow ard hair;
And N inclined to think il Powers
Could see her, he would grieve,

Had beaten Mrs. Eve.
There IS not blemish in her form,
No fault about her fsse;
ST down and gaze from morn TIL night
You'll find her perfect grace,
And then, 10 finish all, her voice
