that the Judges were consure wroniully, n

JUDGE MAcKEY AND SHERIFF YocuM
The following is taken from the W,nns-
boro Ne,cs:
An interesting correspondence has
taken place between Judge T. j.
Mnckey and Sheriff Yocum, of Chea.
ter. Sheriff Yocum wrote tc Judge
Mackey that be could get no money
from the County Com missioners. and
that he had strained his private credit
III supplying prisoners with food /;
that there were two prisoners confined.
He called his Honor's attention to the
fact.
Judge Mackey replied that he regret
ted the embarrassment Of the Sheriff,
but if there were no funds in tho trea.
sury he was without y remedy by sum
mary process He suggested that a
lien be given on the crop OF the
County farm by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners had officially in
formed Judge Muckey tha. Mr.. Yooum
presented an account for 1856, and re-
fused to take 5000 in part pnyment.
The County Treasurer also certified
that he bud already paid the Sheriff
S2.342 %. nearly one-tifth of the whole
tax for County purposes. and more
than double the amount ever drawn
before in one year; this, too, in face
OF the fuct that in January there was
not prisoner in jail or criminal
CASE on docket. Tue Judge. however.
authorized tho removal of ono pri-
souer to York jail. and the release of
the other, whu WAS within five days of
her time Of release. unless the justice
would provide for her.
Sheriff Y"cnm replied, denying that
he had been offered $500, and claimed
that the same Influences which had no
long kept him ont Of his money were
still ut work. He claims that he has
receipts for mpre than the bills he pre-.
>ented to tho Commissioners. He
claims to have served more State
papers III year than bud been served
before 10 tweuty H+ also claims that
there have been more prisoner in
Chester Jail this last Year than in any
two yeIrs previous sincs reconstruc.
