A STRANGE LEGAL CAsE.-Yesterday
evening there was case in Magistrate
Creighton's Court that excited considera-
BILE interest from its peculiarly. Esquire
Walton, by request, occupied the bench.
1t appears that colored man, named
Spencer Murrah, owed a white man,
named Michael O'Donnel, small sum
of money. Murrah made arrangements
a few days ago to move to Arkansas.
O'Donnell took out an attachment and
held his household property to secure his
debt Murrah's wife took writ of re-
-pleyin to recover the property, claiming
that il was hers. There is law in this
State that married woman cannot re-
plevin property. The counsel for plain
tiff, Mr. Turnage maintained that the
woman was not married legally, although
she had lived as the wife of Spencer
Murrah for fifteen years, and has fami-
ly of six children that they had never
availed themselves Of the privilege guar
anteed by Congress, to be married !;
hence she was an unmarried woman in
the eyes of the law, and could replevy the
property. Mr.. Miller, the counsel for de-
PENDANT to replevy, maintained they be-
became legally married by the act of
Congress, and the recent act of the Ten
nessee Legislature hence, being mar
ried woman, she could not replevy tie
property. The argument on both sides
was elaborate and lengthy. The Magis-
trate held that the woman had never been
legally married, and sustained her writ
OF repleyy-whereupon Mr.. Miller an
nounced that he would take an appeal to
the Common Law Court 3ta

standing on the track, and it is supposed
that he had been asleep, and was aroused
by the coming of the train. 1t was i'm

been torn to pieces, aud was scattered
