BILL SIMPSONS LEGAL EN-
PERIENCE,. ......

Many years ago the Legislature of
Tennessee passed an Act to organize
the county of McNairy, alias Snake.
At that time the country embraced in
the limits Of Snake was occupied by q
study set Of backwoodsmeu, totally
unacquainted with courts, iails, DC.
The county ASS emblcd at the appointed
county site for the purpose Of cutting
logs, making boards, &c, to build =
court house and Jail. The only theme
Of daily conversation, when the men
were assembled, was the Court, &c.
None Of them had ever sen a Court in
session, as yet developed. Each one
would give what his idea was Of Il
Court, &c. None, however, were IN
truly satisfactory, until Bill Simpson
was called on to give his ideas lie
said he knew all about Court-that
he had had n law suit in North Carroll
ma. One of his neighbor's hogs kept
coming when he fed his hogs, until ii
got fat. One morning he got so ID
mad that he shot the hog. lie thought
it would not do to throw it away; 50
he cleaned and salted it away Shortly
after, his neighbor and u man came to
his house, examined the smokehouse,
and took him to town and put him in Il
little office About three months after
that this man came and took him UP to
a large room A large man sit upon Il
high bencl---a man was sitting at q
desk-about dozen line-drcssed men
sat in a'place that WAS paled around.
The man put in pen just behind them.
He then called in twelve men; they
took seats in box in front Of the fine
dressed men. The man that was wri
ting gave the twelve men book and
said something about Bill Simpson and
the State. Then one of the fine men
read something about Bill Simpson
and the hog, and he and another one
of the fine dressed men had the biggest
quarrel you ever heard. | thought
they would fight every minute, but
they didn't. 1t was Bill Simpson and
the hog, and the hog and Bill Simpson,
and sometimes Mr.. S impson, but id
seldom. After they quit quarreltng.
the big man talked awhile to the ~
men, and they went out and staid q
short time, and came back and said
something to the man at the desk.
Then the man on the bench said some
thing to the man that put me in office,
and he took me out and tied me to a
persimmon tree and commenced fight
ing me with 4 cowhide, and it made
me 80 id mad thatI shook all the
persimmons off the tree.

throng.
To shield a cause which in their eyes
