OF a gentleman in Wentworth street, and said

Iof1r - 4I,1
thinking that something was not right, refused to
give them the clothes. On Tuesday the regular
washerwoman called, and said that che had not
sent the women, but she recognized them from
description, and warned the lady to beware of
them. We mention this incident not for any in
trinsic interest which it possesses, but to put
Others on their guard against like attempts at i'm
position.
PANKNIN's HEPATIc BrTTERs.-We always take
pleasure in encouraging any enterprise having
for it's object the Development Of our native re-
sources; and, in pursuance of this practice, we
did not for moment hesitate, yesterday, to take
by the hand bottle of Mr.. PANKN1N's Hepatic
Bitters, which he kindly presented FIR trial to our
experienced ken. Wetastod and highly approved,
though we do not like to express decided opin-
ion upon one bottle. Mr.. P. did not start trade in
long before that period. The house. established
by his father many years ago, has always ranked
first among the drug stores of Charleston. The
present proprietor is an experienced apothecary,
who has enjoyed the benefit of lifelong educa-
ton for this special business. His character,
moreover, vouches for the truth of his assertions,
and we can, therefore, have no hesitation to rt
commend the Hepatic in all sincerity. May he
live to verify the truth of his motto: Res paruG
crescunt."

we publish the evidence and the Judgment of the
Court in full, being satisfied that the public will

After hearing the above evidence, Major CoRD1N,
the Provost Judge, delivered the following
opinion:
There does not appear to have been any great
occasion for Ell arrest in this case. An arrest
should not be made too hastily. Arrest is
serious matter, and should not be made without
prina facie cause. Any "ffeDce being committed,
private citizen can interfere, but lie does 1t at
