SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
May Term at Observation-Disclosures foi
the Bar, by H. q. King, Esq

May Term at Observation-Disclosures for
the Bar, by II. q. King, ESQ
Holloway Vs. State. from Shelby Circuit. In
dictment for Murder. t a W
The charge of the court stated there were
ionr degrees of homicide--defned murder
in the first degree and manslaughter, but
failed to define murder in the second de-
gree, or TO draw the distinction of murder
in the second degree and manslaughter
The prisoner was convicted of murder in
the second degree. Malice, which is an es-
sentiaI ingredient in the former, is not
necessary, either express or implied, in the
latter. The killing in this case took place
in a struggle. The prisoner was indicted
for murder in the first degree, and he was
entitled at least to full and clear EXPOSE
ton of the different grades of homicide and
the distinguishing features of each This
had been denied him, and is error for
which the Judgment below is reversed and
new trial granted.
Bell, Pace & Lavender vs Hunter. From Mem
phi3 Chancery. d..
Held That under the acts of 1913 and
| 1887, carried into the code, sections 22S5 8,
| the widows years allowance, made by the
county court, cannot be chargeable on the
real estate of the deceased.
Pooly Us. Webb From Memphis Chancery.
GalloWay's deed to Mrs. Pooly contained
| these clauses l. "To have aud to hold
the land to her sole and separate use forev-
err" 2. "But she shall not sell or dispose
of the same without the written consent of
her husband" 8. "In case she dies with
out disposing of said land, it shall go to her
children by Pooly; and if no children, then
to Pooly or his heirs" Pooly died with
out giving any consent to his wife to sell.
Mrs. Pooly sold after Pooly's death. Held +:
] That Mrs. Pooly took fee simple separ-
ate estate, with a restricted power of sale
| during coyerture. A separate estate being
the creature of equity, although the estate
may be fee simple, yet equity can restrict
! the power of sale during c0gertltre. But on
coming discovert the unlimited power of
alienation accrues to her consequent on
holding fee; but restriction Of the power
would again attach on a subsequent mar
riage. And, in this case, Mrs. PoOly hav-
ing sold while discOUert a good title passed.
/ Comedies. Schwoob. From Memphis Law Court.
Before the occupation of Memphis by
the Federal armies, Connell rented house
and LOT in the city to Schwoob, for term of
years, and took his notes for the rent. Con-
nell went South with the Confederate ar
mics and identified himself with them.
After the occupation of Memphis by the
Federal forces, under the proclamation Of
the President of the United States, of July
%, 1862, based on the act Of Congress OF
July IL, 1862, the house and lot and Con-
nells interest therein was seized by The
Federal authority and re-rented to Schwoob
ConneH sued Schwoob on his notes. Held;
that Schwoob was not liable for the time
he paid rent TO the paramount authority Of

on the record as opposed to removing this

CROPS IN MIssIssIPPI-The Columbus
hdsr, of the 9Th, says
ain Lowndes and some adjacent coun-
ties, the crops give every hope OF an abund-
ant yield. The wheat crop turns ont fine,
escaping with little or no rust, and is being
rapidly harvested. Two or three weeks
will see it all housed, and then We may
reasonably expect fall in the present high
price of -four. The corn promises every
thing, has enough rain for the present pur-
poses, and with favorable weather reaching
to the first week in July, may be set down
as almost certainty.
So far the cotton crop displays the alb
sence of lice and other ills, and thrive
splendidly under this charming weather.
