CorRr. - Scarcely anything was done at

rs Linart for the murder Of Pritchard, in
April last, half "A mile below McGregor.
We are told by attendants at Court that the
trial was remarkable for the urbanity dis
played by witnesses and counsel for the
respect paid Court and jury and for general
harmony all round. This is Judge Will
liam's last preside in Clayton County, and
from his own lips we have the information
that he is delighted to surrender the err
mine to Judge Milo McGlathery. In this
case McGlathery, District Attorney, and
John T..Stoneman were for the prosecution;
Noble, Jordan and Bulls for the defence,
no juryman was challenged. The verdict
was S for conviction and for discharge.
So the jury was ''hung" and not tho pris-
