ANOTHER CASE OF MIscBeESATIoS.-
Yesterday another case Of miscegenation
was before Recorder Wilkinson. The par
ties consisted Of a negro wench, by the name
Of MARY WILLIAMS, and a white man by
the name Of JOHN Plymouth, from Ohio.
They were arrested in the habitation Of their
lewdness, near the Chattanooga depot, Tues
day night On being questioned as to how
long they had lived together, they replied
that they had been living in the relation Of
man and wife for three years. The negro
womaE said she loved PLYMOUTH devotedly;
and he, in reply to a question asked him in
regard to the same thing, said, that il he did
not love her he would not live with her
that his love had been unremitting for the
past three years. The negro wench said
that before she could be separated from Ply
MOUTH tina. be would have TO be put in the
penitentiary and she put in the county jail
| Plymouth said that if the civil authorities
would permit him, he would take his
darling love with him TO the country and live
in quietness; that he could do this if he
was only in the Stateof Ohio So long as he
remained in the city such privileges would
not be accorded him. He did not think his
love for MARY should be restricted in this
manner. They were fined only s. each.
