justice to myself, as there was large
number of persons present in the Court
House on Monday, the I'd inst, when a
certain Attorney, taking advantage OF
his position, belched forth his low and
dirty billingsgate against Sheriff Wall
and myself Such stuff is. seldom in.
dulged in by any of the members of the
Edgefeld Bar, except the Attorney in
question. That certainly is his forte.
And His Honor, the Judge, fol. reasons
best known to himself, closed the case
without giving Messrs. Youmans and
Sheppard an opportunity of saying'one
word in my defence, which know they
were prepared to do, and would have
given the vaunting Attorney Roland
for an Oliver.'' a
