TINE couHscrIcuT OYSTER LAW.

From the New Haven Palladium, Jan. ST.
The oyster case which has been IN process Of hear
ing before Justices William and J. Il. Russell In Bran
ford for some time past was decided yesterday In
favor OF the claimants, and the property seized
valued at $4,000 ordered TO be sold on the 18th Of
April next, one half 70 30 to the town. and the rest
after paying expenaes to the parties interested IN
bringing the SUIT. Our readers wllI remember that
the schooner NJ +. Averill and ten boats, the pro-
perty OF Captain George Averill and others,
were seized and this suit instituted, the
vessels having been engaged In taking oysters
from beds on Stoney Creek, owned BY Oliver
Hall and others, which IL was claimed were private
property but which the defendants urged at the trial
were natural oyster BEDS and therefore could not be
legally stsked out to the complainants Messrs In
gerso and Doolitte, OF this city, and r. d. smith,
Of Cuford appeared for the owners Of the property
and Messrs. Wright Harrison for the defence. The
justices In giving this decision held that IL was not
material whether the grounds were or were not
natural oyster beds provided In other respects they
were legally staked out. The defendants appealed
the whole proceeding 10 the March term Of the Su-
peror Court and viii take out writ OF error TO re.
view the above decision Of the justices as to the law.
The defence, who claim to represent the public In the
case, expect that this further litigation before Q
higher court will result I'm good 70 their ciients

CONFESSION or A muHosHsa.
CarswelI. the Murderer Of Abbey z. Sanders,
Confesscs the Comc:ission of the Deed.

[E--oin the Utica Herald, Jan. a.
W.iiIam Henry CarswcIl, who was lately convicted
OF the murder OF Abbey Elizabeth Sanders, near
Camden In this county has at last confessed to the
commission OF the deed. The convicted man says he
has long contemplated such acknowledgment; in-
deed, he intended to make II before the trial took
place. Doubtless fears OF violence and the bare pos
sbiity OF an acquittal caused him to delay confess
sion until all reasonable hope for the prolongaton Of
his life had left him. On several occasions he has
admitted his guilt, but would deny the same again
after such admission. When we first visited him in
his CELL Immediately after he had received sentence
he requested all persons, the chaplain and ailer
and reporter, to leave the cell, he had i'm
portant statement to make, one that he wished
none others to hear. Going into the darkest
corner and sitting down upon his little
cot he had barely Gsu1 3s,t to speak when
tening intenty at the grated door. Impatienty mo-
toning them away, he commenced but his resolution
to make any developments seemed TO have suddenly
left him and he again and again. calling upon God 10
Witness declared ne was an innocent man. Then
he would repeat the story OF his alleged whereabouts
at the time OF the murder looking one honestly in
the face until he to that portion OF his narra-
tive when he denies going back up the Pond Hin
road. Then his eye would become restless; he looked
anywhere save into the face OF his questioner; to
hold even catch his eye at that point was an Inn
ribe secret until death stared hun In the face and at
last wrung from him an admission which will relieve
at once the minds OF the jurors who pronounced him
guilty, the Judge who passed sentence OF death and
the people OF the county who might have feared an
innocent man was to suffer.
The confession In Its detail does not differ ma
teally from the facts adduced by the prosecution,
save In one particular-the denial OF the heinous
crime Of which public opinion must still decide him
guilty. II no attempt had been made to despoil the
This queston<vill force itself upon many minds; we
believe before the unhappy man dies he will confess
even this. The assertion that fell from his lips that

conclusion than Its commission.
