On Saturday evening Of last week, while

preached in the same style, but he was not the
man they were looking for, and two of them

At Ironton, recently, a Miss McQuigg, who
claimed to have been seduced under promise
Of marriage, by Presley Barker, armed herself
with pistol, and taking her brother, who also
carried pistol for the purpose of intimida-
ton, as he asserts,) with her, visited Barker,
and insisted on marriage Barker refused,
when the sister drew her pistol and fired Kill
ling Barker instantly. She attempted to fire
again, but the brother, who claims he was not
aware she was armed, seized her and attempted
to wrest the pistol from her and the ball
missed its mark. Both were arrested. The
brother was tried as an accessory to the mdr-
der, but the prosecution failing to establish
the quilt of the prisoner, he was acqintted on
Thursday the LIST. The court then requested
the Prosecuting Attorney to enter nolle in
the case of the murdress, assigning as a reason
that if they could not convict the brother they
would not the sister. The Prosecuting Attor-
ney declined, when the court assumed the
responsibility and ordered a0He to be entered,
and the murdress was set at liberty. Judge
Wright, who ofhciated, had, it would seem
queer notions in regard to the rights of society,
when he thus arbitrarily discharged an ac-
nowledged murdress from responsibility for
crime, without even the semblance of a trial.
Perhaps, however, the result may be to arouse
feeling that will not regard as loosely the
taking of vengeance into their own hands, by
parties who willingly permit themselves to be
outraged, on promise of marriage, but who
afterwards find themselves deserted.
