Mitchell appeared as a witness. She stated
what character of house she kept, and declared
that MT BriE Etnall patroniZed her house, and
the amount sued for was the balance OF 8 bill
against him. She brought up colored girl as
4 witness to identify Mr.. Brintnall, and this
witness, instead Of pointing out Mr. b., posi-
lively identified gentleuran who had nothing
20 do with the case. The case was postponed
until yesterday, and the parties appeared.
Justice Holm gshead said that there was no
need OF argument or further evidence. From
the evidence Of Fanny Mitchell herself it was
clear that the case was the result of malice,
growing out of the case decided by Justice
Clayton; and in view OF this malice and the
preyarications OF the witnesses, the case Is dis
missed.
