A Largo Amount Of Interesting
Legal Matter.

S75 000 bail from George A. Eyorett, tho NOW
York gontloman, travelling companion Of Carlot-
II r. Shortell, tito young lady who goes around
the country planting bonds and Hecuritios in
prlor that II harvest Of grocnhacks may, in duo
pourso, slrout thcrofrons.
Tho caso came up before Judge Rogers in q
happy-go-lucky fashion. Yesterday morning,
tho Grand Jury, thon going at express speed,
found m indictment, on tho infor1na-
tion Of State Attorney Reed, against
aail Everett, for larccny of tho bonds in
question, and contract for the aalo of $4,000
worth Of othor bonda. On this indictment
Everett my in 1ail awaitiug trial. WHOM John
Lyle King, his attorney, pctitioncd for writ OF
hateas corpus, and tho prisoner was brought
Into Court.
Carlottn Shortell WAS examined ag to tho ma
lure Ut tho property gtolen, and was being quos-
tioncd nB to how the bonts camo into her poB-
eession, by Alr. King, whom tho Court inter-
ponetl, and Hnid tho only matter to be decided
WAS tho fact that d robbery Ind boon committed
with which tho priAonor had boon charged, and
The amount Of that robbery, in order that tho
amount Of bail could bo tlxod. The Court could
pot allow tho counsel to tako up ti1no In going
into matter not pertinent to tho subject of
Inquiry. After some conversation OIL the point,
In which tho Court Tas decided and fmnaoyabo,
Tho lady then repeated in detail tho story Of
hor loss, as 1t has already appeared In the morn
Ing papors.
Rhares, but llo know nothing at all about tho
railroad stock In question.
Mr.. King then addressed the Court. Ho said
That thcro was really only ono point In tho whole
able to make anything, namely, that tho young
Lady had once Ind in lor possession q writton
contract to deliver to hor sl0,oo worth OF stock,
which contract sho had since lost, or been rob-
have been taken by the prisoner; and that ques-
tion, As we'll as tho question OF wliothor 1t
belonged to her or not and of how she came BY
it, must be discussed ut another timo. Tho
tho Indictment differed Tic indictment echsnrged
tho prisoner with the larceny Of 300 bonds Of
$l00 each, in the Selma d Gulf Railroad Com
pany, Of Alabama, aud y written contract worth
ten contract. What va: a writton contract for
tho delivery Of $4,000 Of atock7 It WINS not
stock; 1t was not money; it Was not yaluo. 1t
was merely pnpor; an evidence Of an Agrce-
to be- dono; and it Ind no further valuo.
Tho pnpor that furnished evidence of
nh agreement to deliver $4,000 Of stock
wnB not $4,000 ITSELF Such q yaluo did
not attach to it. and it was proposterous to hold
The prisoner for any such amount. Tho whole

The Court said that tho bail must be fixed at
