johnson vs. Smith, from Raleigh, April
term, 1861, Supreme Court:
By the Court-There is no error in the
judgment. 1t is certainly true that an
acceptance of the trust by two or more
of the benefciaries, would not, as against
an attaching creditor, mure to the bene-
fit Of the non-accepting creditors provi-
ded for in the assignment, as held in
other cases at the present term.
Still such acceptance by a portion OF
the beneiciaries would be good as to
themselves and entitle them to avail
themselves Of the security, provided
for their debts, all other objections out OF
the way. 1t is clear, likewise, that in
such case the trustee upon his accept
ance would become invested with the
legal title TO the property; and it could
not, by an attachment at law, be taken
out Of his possession. 1t equally clear,
however, that in equity the surplus, after
| satisfaction of the debts of the accepting
creditors, might be attached and sub
jected to the demands Of those creditors
who had caused the same to be levied on
by attachment, before the acceptance by
the other beneficiaries had been mani.
tested. Judgment affirmed Nc Kinney

ROBBERY IN South MEMPHIS Another
daring robbery was perpetrated in South
Memphis last night, at the house Of one
Mr.. Randall, who lives and keeps gro
Gerry on Shelby street, between Beal and
Linden. The house was entered at the
back, and the robbers attempted to go to
the store room, but were prevented by a
large watch dog which Mr. Randall keeps
in the grocery. They had, however, first
penetrated to the dining room and took
from there all the silverware and nap
kins they could find, in all amounting to
about one hundred dollars worth. The
barking of the dog gave the alarm and
the robbers were prevented from more
extensive plumber on that account The
people of the house got up, but as usual
in such cases they only reached the room
in time to know that the bird had flown

IMPORTANT DECFsIoY-THE RAILROAD
CAsE.-The following decision, which is
of interest to every citizen of Memphis,
was rendered yesterday by the Hon VIM.
NJ. Smith, Chancellor in the case of the
Memphis City Railroad Company VS..
John Park, Mayor, and the Aldermen.
ct al:
LIST. The franchise of the People Pas
senger Railroad Company cannot, in
this proceeding be declared forfeited /;
and, on the facts stated in its answer,
the act repeating its charter is void. 1t
can, therefore, have status in Court.
I'd. The charter did not confer an ex-
elusive right to the use Of any street IN
the city, and the charter can only be
looked to 60 ascertain the nature OF its
franchise The Memphis City Railroad
Company, therefore, had an equal right
to the use of Main street The latter
company having first taken possession
of the street, is entitled to its use. 1t
cannot be required to await the re-
suit of suit between the other company
and the city, to determine whether the
city is bound to give its consent to said
Company TO use the streets, which con
sent the charter of said company requires.
LIST. The Peoples Passenger Railroad
Company cannot enforce specific per
formance on the part of the city, of the
contract between the city and Kirk,
Small and others. The city had no right
to make such contract, which, if valid,
amounted to the granting OF u franchise
Il grant the city could not make unless
authorized by the Legislature so to do.
The charter of the Peoples Passenger
Railroad Company authorizes the Com
pany to complete the contract but does
not make it obligatory on the city to
abide by it--does not make valid the
void contract On the. contrary, by re-
curing the consent of the city to the use
of the streets, it reserves TO it an effectual
veto on all proceedings of the Company,
and there is nothing in the record to
show a ratification of the contract, after
the Company was chartered
The decision on this final hearing is
that the injunction restraining the city
from interfering with the Memphis City
Railroad Company be made perpetual.
But, as the Peoples Passenger Railway
Company is an existing company, with
power to contract, the injunction re-
straining the city from contracting with
il will be dissolved.
The cross bill will be dismissed on the
demurrer, both as against the city and
the Memphis City Railroad Company.
The costs will be equally divided be-
tween the two railroad companies.

Hiram H. Embry, Of Carroll county, in this

new destroyer Of wheat had made its appear

a small insect, which appears On the bkAe,
varying from one to four in number, and
which Is producing sad havoc. The attention
Of Mr.. Embry was first called to the appear

by another old farmer Of the same county,
Mr. Henry Summerlin. The two together
have watched the progress Of this insect, and
that with the present appearance Of the wheat
crop in this vicinity, and the destructive pow

clusion that great damage will be done to the
wheat crcp in Carroll, if it be not totally de-
stroyed. The insect Mr.. E. states, has new

Farmers would do well to look after their
