THEPRINTING CASE.
Mr., Walker on the Result.

Mr.. walker ON Inc hesults
From the Charleston Courier, June goth.
In the Circuit Court yesterday Judge
Smith delivered an important opinion
iu the case OF the State Us. Henry s.
Walker. The demurrer Of defendant
to plaintiffs declaration, and certain
pleas rendered by defendant to which
plaintiff demurred, had been under DIS
cussion from Tuesday to Thursday by
counsel GU both sides. The Court,
after consideration, decided to override
the demurrer to plaintiffs declaration
as to all the counts but the tenth. This
WAS held to be fatally detective. The
main question aroee upon the admission
Of the defendants pleas. These set up
the settlement made with the defendant
by the Governor and other State
officers, and presented the point that
those settlements were binding upon the
State, unless impeached for fraud. As
the case had been presented to the
people OF the State upon charges OF
systematic and deliberate fraud by Mr..
Walker, it was the theory of the de-
fence that the prosecution ought to try
before the jury the same issues upon
which they had obtained from the leg
islature the means to carry on the suit.
This the plaintiff had evaded, the de.
claration failing entirely to make an,
allegations OF fraud. The Court over
ruled the demurrer to the pleas and
held them to be good. This practically
disposes OF the present case unless an
appeal is taken, which does not seem
likely. The only way in which the
prosecution can now review the action
