had fed, he espied the Coroner approaching his
locality again, and upon inquiry of the landlord

himself in the cellar, which he did with a pre-
cipitancy that ecipsed General Putnams riding
down the stone stairs to escape British bullets.

IMPORTANT WILL CAsE.-On Tuesday the 18th
inst, the Will case between Nesbitts as caveators
and Jno. 0. Price as caveatee was commenced in
the Howard county Court. The defense asked
for a continuance, and made an affidavit as re-
quired by law. Upon an argument between the
counsel, the Court decided that the defendants
had not used due diligence in securing the at
tendance of the witnesses for whose absence the
continuance was prayed.
On Wednesday morning the case began with
an array of counsel upon both sides. Messrs.
Revedy Johnson, Thos. Donaldson, Cuttings and
Machen, and Geo. W. Sands, Esq, of Howard
county, represent the plaintiffs, and Messrs. I.
hewitt Steele, H. E. Wootten, j. F. G. Talbot
and Jno. R. Kenly represent the defendants.
The case rests mainly upon the gen uineness OF
will purported to have been made by Miss Cha
ella Owings in March 1852, and who died in
1857, leaving about $3.50, 900 worth of property,
all of which under the will in question was left
to Jno. o. Price, Esq, her nephew. The testi-
mony was closed on Wednesday the 2lst inst,
and at the writing the counsel are arguing the
case before the jury.
