Corbin had listened very impatiently
to this TRADE of abuse hurled upon his
friend, Judge Carpenter, aud rs he got
an opportunity, substantially said
know all about that affair at Oranyeburg.
The action was brought by colored wo
man against white man for bastardy
A distinguished legal gentleman of
Oranseburg defended the accused, and
early in the case called the attention OF
the court to law of 1887. Which showed
that the action against his client could
not live. The Solicitor Tor the State

Mr. Seabrook, of Careston-
the law presented, and stated that he
would yield, but he did not call the at
tention Of the judge to any subsequent
law. Judge Carpenter said if that was
the law he would have to yield to it, al
