The Clerk and Master will take an ao-
count to-day in the following case : Rig
gins vs.. Fisher. A strange and unique
chsncery bill was filed on yesterday,
styled, The State of Tennessee, er rel a.
P. Burdett vs.. Geo. w. Waldran-soliei-
tors for cOmplainants, McRse & Walker,
Pierce, Richards & Dix. The bill charges
that Judge Waldran was not a citizen of
Tennessee when appointed to Office that
he permitted criminals to escape under
writ of habeas corpus that the Grand
Jury which found bills of indictment
against Beaumont and Burdett, Police
Commissioners, were illegally impan-
eled, and that Judge Waldran had
said Grand Jury impaneled with view
TO these indictments. After charging
many things, writ Of Injunction was
prayed for to stop the prosecution Of the
indictments against Burdett in the Mu-
nicipal Court. Judge Smith made an
order that Judge Waldrsn should only
answer that part Of the bill which
charged him with not being citizen OF
the State when appointed, and set Friday
next to hear the motion for Injunction.
The other portions of the bill werestricken
out. The Grand Jury Of the Municipal
Court found large number OF true bills
for,violstions of law against Beaumont
and Burdett, the latter by the chsncery
bill above mentioned seek to head off
the prosecution of these indictments and
if possible GUST Judge Waldran from
office for daring to charge the Grand
Jury that the law had been violated by
the police Commissioners. Had that
famous charge not been made, this bill
in chancery would never have been
heard of.
Law COURT-JdHleS o. Pierce, Judge.
The Jury in the case Of BorO & Co. vs..
Saint, had not been able to agree on yes

was Confederate money. Court meets
to-day as usual no business will be
transacted, except receiving the verdict
of the jury In the above case.
