struck II feet in thickness. that proves to be
OF first quality for smelling purposes. Should

CASE FOR AN INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
The Paw Paw correspondent OF the Det. Posi-,
IN commentingon an item which appeared inthe
TRUE NoRTHERNER two or three weeks ago, in
the Decatur Republican positively and unegulv-
ocally charges our worthy County Clerk with
d,grant neglect of duty in not making the
proper entries Of the proceedings in Criminal
Cases. The following is his language:
''MR. EDIroR:
The True Northern5. OF Last week attempts
TO crtlcIse the repor5 of the correspondent OF
the Detroit Post, who says there was not a
criminal case on the Docket at the last torn
o, tho Circuit Court for this county. Now as
the NOrtteTner man printed the aforesaid
Docket he ought to know, or course, whereof
he afiirms. The fact is there aCds not Grim
.nal cause on the docket but during The siUia3
~ he court. Walter Robinson, the party aIlud-
oI IN VI ri
amined aud committed to jail, and was by the
Prosecuting Attorney, arraignei and having
plead mot Guilty, his trial st his own request
was postponed until the next term OF court,
and the case was never placed on the Docket. s."
Now we do not believe anything OF the kind,
and will not until the iudubitable proof that
ruch statement is the positive truth, and that
the Clerk did neglect TO make the proper
entries in the case mentioned in the paragraph
JuOted. Such statamens5 as the above, are
calculated 10 crease the impression that the
County Clerk Is negligent and in view Of tie
harm that might, in certain contingencies be
done to his reputation as an efficient AMI caro-
full public officer, wa deem it but just that at
tention OF the Circuit Judge should be called
20 this matter and that the Board Of Super
visers raise a special committee to investigate
this matter, AMI If possible discover who this
.raducer of the fair name OF the worthy end
esteemed Clork is AMI when discovered give
him such q reprimand as the turpituie OF tie
transaction merits.
