Another Trial Of the Jolly Island case.
From private telegram we learn that
the old ejectment suit of Hopkins heirs
vs.. Callaway's heirs is again decided in the
Circuit Bourt at Athens in favor of Hop
kins' heirs, and the decision, it is thought
will be affirmed, by the Supreme Court.
The island sued for is situated in the
Tennessee river, at the mouth of the Hi
wassee, and is worth at fair valuation
$4,000 or 100000. It has been in litigation,
in one form oranother, for thirty -four gears.
The case was argued at great length last
Friday, before Hon. d. K. Young sitting
by interchange with Judge Hoyle, by
Judge J. G. Gaut, of Nashville, Jesse Gaut,
Esq, of Cleveland, and Col. J. B. Cook,
Of Chattanooga, for the Galloway heirs,
and by A. Caldwell, VIM. M. Baxter and
Col. John Baxter for the Hopkins heirs.
Though the Supreme Court, at its last
term, remanded the case upon grounds
thought to be favorable to the Galloway
estate, the favorable verdict now won is
the result of q new statute and new points
of law now for the first time presented in
the case, in an able brief prepared by Bax-
ter d Son, who have bestowed unusual la
Dor upon the case, not only because of the
unusual amount involved, but from nat
ural professional pride in an old and high.

sey, of Memphis, who is on a visit to the

over the meeting. On taking the chair,
he made some remarks very pertinent to
the occasion in his own peculiar and
happy manner, showing an undated en-
thusiasm in the profession, of which he
has long been a brilliant member. 49,
The Society then proceeded to the bust
