The Knox-Heneer.on I,se, Case.

We have already alluded to this case, a suit
for damages for $50, COO. for defamation of char
acter. brought by Mr.. Knox against Mr.. William
Henderson, an old and well Known citizen. We
gave aresume Of the testimony up to last Thurs.
day-when there was more taken, chiefly for the
defense. Mr.. Knox claims that his character has
been damaged to the extent of $50 coo. The OBJ
Jects OF the defense are, first to impugn the cred.
lblhty OF Mr.. knox's witness, and next to prove
that he has no character to lose. In the latter
particular they have elected some very racy tes.
timoDy. Amongst others Col. Jas. ". Wingfeld
and Mr.. E, NJ. Bee, the latter of Magnolia, Miss,
both swear that Mr.. Kuox's character is bad. Mr.
Milton c. Randall, brother.in.law Of Mr.. Knox,
gives the following testimony:
Lives in New Orleans. Knows about the gene.
raj character of Knox in the community where he
lives; it is bad. He is an unprincipled man. Has
known Knox eight or nine years and has never
known him to have any other reputation. 1t pains
him to give his testimony in this case.
Cross erdTnined-He is a personal enemy of
Knox. Has been since his character has been
inlly developed, more than six or seven years.
Have no ill-will or bitterness against him.

him any harm. but my feeling towards him is that

Yesterday Judge Cooley of the Sixth District
Court required all lawyers prscticing before him
10 EXHIBIT receipts for the tax imposed upon the
brothers of the long robe by the late black aud

caused considerable commotion, which was how.
ever. soon alayed. Some twenty lawyers pro.
duced their receipts and were declared duly Quail.
fed to argue their cases. In the Fourth Court
Judge Thesrd made the following order, which
appeared to create considerable satisfaction
amongst the fraternity:
Whereas, by an act promulgated on the 18th

present their licenses to the court, and whereas
the printed official receipts to be signed by the
auditor and treasurer are not yet prepared for

The State vs.. Arthur Guerin. Second District
| Recorders Court.
This case came before me for examination on
the thirteenth Of March, 1869. ! have given to
the law all the attention which its Importance and
| gravity requires. The evidence clearly shows
that the homicide, and the fact is not denied by
the defense, was committed by the defendant
Arthur Guerin. Every killing is presumed by law
10 be malicious. This presumption can only be
rebutted by direct evidence. The evidence in this
case established three distinct and separate classes
of facts:
l. The homicide was committed by A. Guerin.
2. The deceased made threats and menaces
against the life of accused.
3. The threats were followed up by gestures
and acts calculated to inspire Guein with the rea.
sopabe and sincere apprehension that his life was
The facts are clearly and indisputably estab.
nshed by the evidence given both in behalf of the
State and the defense.
Under this evidence, / might be deemed fully

New Orleans March Is, 1869.
The court adjourned and few minutes after.
wards Guerin appeared and his counsel, who
offered Mrs. GueTin mother Of the accused as
his security to appear before the Fist District
Court for trial. Recorder Gssnnel however.
declined accepting Mrs. Guerin as security for
her son on the grounds that the judge of the First
District Court had decided that a woman could
not be security in a criminal case, athe reason
being that in law O woman cannot keep in her
custody the person for whom she would be
security, because the decision presumes upon
the physical ability of the male sex to keep the
person released on bail In individual custody.
Later in the day Mr.. Benz 0'Connel offered to
bail Guerin, was accepted as security and the
prisoner released until summoned to answer the
charge of manslaughter before a jury of his
country.
