ceased until Isnao had stopped At his house after
he4 had: left Mr. 4RAvENE1ss, and had shown thu
summons he had obtained. He advised Isaac not
to deliver the summons in person, but to stop at
the house Of Messervey and get;one Of his boys to
so: He refused to do this; saying that he had
been entrusted with the summons and would
deliver them IN person. he did not show the SUM
mons, but said they were in his pocket. He first

himself, who told him that his brother was shot.
BE went to the spot and found Isaac living down
by Mr.. HEwEs fence; he was on his back, with
both hands outstretched
Isaac knew that he was dying and told him to
take the summons from his pocket to Mr.. Rave
MEL he examined his wound and found his
Walstcoat burnt by the wad, but the shirt WINS not
scorched. 1saao begged him not to turn him over
as he did not think he would live, that BRANDON
mad shot him. he went across field and got q
cart and took him to HEwEs' house; he could not
walk Isaac told him he had gone to BRANDoN's
house and knocked, but no one came BRANDON
subsequently came to the door and he presented
the summons to hun, when BRANDON took down his
gun and said, ''did not toll you never to come
here, and then shot him; he dropped the sum-
mons on the floor. Isaac died on Friday, about 10
OF IL o'clock, while he had gone to MIR. RAvENE1.
This closed the testimony for the prosecution,
and the counsel Tor the defence proposed to place
the prisoner on the stand; this was agreed to, but
the Atto1ney-General insisted that the son Of the
prisoner, who was also Witness should be re-
moved from the room during the evidence.
Mr. JNo. c. BRANDON deposed that, he was q
farmer Il Berkley District, and was also minister
of the Gospel in the Baptist Church. That in the
spring OF 1866, Strawberry and his wife Henrietta.
came to his gate and called him. They said that
they had no place to stay, and begged him to let
them stay on his place, and plant piece of
ground. He had never owned 8 negro, and re-
fused for some time, but they came back q second
time and he finally consented to let the wo-
man stay in the kitchen, and plant piece Of
ground on shares, on the condition that they
would create 40 disturbance. This was agreed to,
but Isaac soon commenced beating his children
OF unreasonable hours and making terrible noise.
He bore this for some time, but finally remonstra-
ted with Isaac, who told him he would STOP but did
not, and he ordered them away but on the soicita-
tion Of his wife, consented to let her remain but for
bid Isaac s premises. The day tho last potatoe was
dug,f ain told them to leave and they went to Mr..
HEw1> He had been repeatedly disturbed during
their stay, by turbulent conduct; this was partcu-
lary the case one night when Isaac told him TINT he
would make his children beat his son, and would
beat him also il he did not stop talking to him.
After they had left, he did not think anything
more OF it until he saw Isaac coming through the
gate into the house. The family were at the din
ner table, and Isaac approached without knocking
or speaking, but had vindiotive look. As he ar-
preached the table, Brandon arose and came to-
ward him, and seeing that he was eyeing the gun
which was in a rack over the door, he moved to-
ward it at the same time that Isaac did, and both
seized it simultaneously Mt the muzzle and
he at the breeoh. A struggle ensued in which the
gun WAS discharged, the hammer catching in his
clothes. 4
Henry BRANDON, the son Of the prisoner, was
then introduced, and the objections as to his age
and Enowledge Of the responsibilities were salts
fed by his answers. His statement corroborated
his fathers in every particular and gave no addi-
tional light to the case. ,'5-s' :
The argument was opened by W. g. DEsAus-
SURE, Esq, who was replied to by the Attorney
General Judge MUNRO summed up the evidence
elected in the case and charged the Jury, VINO re-
turned q verdict Of not guilty. :,
