TORONTO, Nov. 23.-In the Court OF
Common Pleas to-day, before tho CHIEF
Justice and Justice Adams and John
Wilson, Mr.. MKenzie applied for rule
calling upon the Attorney General to
show cause why the verdict should not
be set aside as contrary to law and EVIL
denee, and new trial had in the case
of the Queen VS.. Slavin, one OF the
Fenian prisoners at present under the
sentence otleath in the old jail.
The grounds Oh which the motion was
based we're that the Indictment charged
the prisoner with two distinct offences
that of committing overt acts as q
British subject as well as an
American citizen; that the alleged of
fences heinz committed i'll the county
of Willard. could not be tried III the
county of York, being one of two united
counties: ON the the ground of misdi'
rection by the Judge, and further that
the: Judge took the assizes and
tried the prisoner without an order
from her Majesty's Executive Counsel,
contrary To the provisions of the stat
ute.
Mr.. Justice J. Wilson stated that he
referred to the last ground of objection
he had already filed by order of the TX
ecutive Council with the Clerk of the
Crown.
Mr.. Mckenzie commended that if so
there was nothing on the face of the
order To show that any members of the
Executive Council were present at the
time the order was made, and that con-
sequently the order was null and mop
erative.
The Chief Justice stated that the
court did not propose granting rule III
any of these cases, unless it was clearly
shown that there was some foundation
for The objection.

SILK GROWING IN ALABAMA.-Mr
Wiley Duffy, of Davidson, Tallapoosa
county, was in our city yesterday, and
exhibited Il number of skeins Of sewing
silk of all colors. They were spun by
his wife, and equal the silk which is
brought by our merchants from the
North. Mr.. Duffy is able to sell them
under the market price. Last year Mr..
Dufiy's wife sold silk thread to the
value of $40. When we reflect that the
mulberry grows luXuriantly on the hills
OF Alabama, and that the labor of spin
ming the silk is but slight, the whole
work of feeding the silk worm and
gathering the cocnons Occupying hut
four months III the year, and when we
reflect. Furthermore that $50 will sup
ply meat and bread enough to n large
| family for the year, we would advise
our people of the hills who are in want
to plant mulberry orchards and spin
silk.-NOutgOmGy NdH.
