COURT RECORD.
SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1874.
secoud District Court.

Second District Court.
Successions of Charles p. Kramer, Henry
Clay Hastings John Martin, Emma Car
michael and Joseph Santini were opened.
Walter c. McCarty prays to be emanci-
pated.
Sixth District Court.
Judge Saucier rendered the following de-
cisiOn:
Martin Lannes vs. Sarah Goodrich
Plaintiff obtained q judgment for house
rent, with the lessons right Of pledge on
the movable effects which were found on
the property leased, and Professionally
seized at the institution of the suit.
This is a. rule taken by defendant.on
plaintiff to show cause why the house and
kitchen furniture seized should not be
restored to her, on the ground that said
property is of value less than 5000, and
therefore not liable to seizure under acu No.
SO, p. SO, approved April %. 1872, amenda-
tory of article 644 of the Code of Practice,
and under act No. II, p. 50, of the acts Of
1874.
Plaintiff excerpts to defendants proceed
ing by rule, on the ground that the judg-
ment herein is final and recognizes his
right of pledge on the effects Professionally
seized. 1t is unnecessary to pass upon this
objection. The Interpretation given by this
court, in former cases, to act No. 80, p. SO
of the acts of 1872, was that it did not ap-
ply to the lessor.
The authority for this was found in the
articles of the Civil Code which placed the
lessor on the footing of Pledge having
possession, or constructive possession, OF
the movables subject to the pledge.
The title OF the act is "An act to amend
article GA Of the Code of Practice" 1t
does not indicate the intention of the law
maker to repeal, or in any manner effect,
the articles of the Civil Code, c0nferring
the lessons right of pledge. Constitution,
article ia. But the act itself seems suffi.
ciently explicit. 1t provides "That article
644 OF the Code OF Practice be amended go
as to correspond with article 1892 of the
Civil Code" which article of the Civil Code
has no connection with the special laws
concerning the contract of lease, but which
under the title of conventional obligations.
This question is not new. In the case of
Parker vs. Starkweather, Martins Re-
ports, N. S., D. 1897, the Supreme Court,
Porter, j.. said, '.Is the provision of the
Code of Practice (article 644, as it then
stood) contrary to, and Repayment to, that
Of the Civil CodeY (Article 2675 then, now
article 27O5, which confers on the lessor
the right of pledge on the movable
the property leased). We are of opinion
it is not. Tho rules applied for the execu-
ton of feri facias, are for ordinary cases
of debt, where no special privilege existed
independent of the Judgment.
Any other Interpretation Of the act under
consideration would have the effect of re-
pealing. by implication, several articles of
the Civil Code, and notably article 27O5.
The act No. II p. 50 Of the acts of 1874, does
not extend the exemption to the case of the
lessor. It simply adds penalty against
the person offending against its provisions.

Horrible Death.

A distiller named Jones, who lived with
his family near the lower bench of the Big
Smoky mountain, had been annoyed good
deal by the revenue rangers last fall, and
determined to change his location and
business to a more secluded spot. To
carry out this purpose he selected the head
of deep gorge some four miles distant,
walled in with cliffs, where during the
winter, assisted by some Of his friends, he
erected log building. As soon as the
cold weather was over and the spring
necessary were moved to the place, and
the work of violating the revenue laws re-
sumed. Several 'runs" were made, and
Jones began to congratulate himself that
he had at last found refuge beyond the
prying eyes of the government hirelings,
where he could pursue his avocatien in
peace.
The still-house being some distance from
where his family lived, Jones rarely visited
them more than once fortnight. Every.
thing went ON well enough until about four
weeks ago, when he failed to appear at the
accustomed time. Nothing was thought of
this for q day or two, but when another
week elapsed without the return of Jones,
the family became alarmed, and thought he
had been captured by revenue jayhawks
and carried to Knoxville, or some other
place, where violators Of the law are occa-
sionally convicted and punished. The
alarm was given through the sparsely-
settled neighbOrhoOd. A small number of
men gathered, and, accompanied by Mrs.
Jones and her son, youth of ten or twelve
the direction of the still-house.
On reaching the building they found the
door closed and fastened, and no sign of
Jones or any one else could be seen. Mrs.
Jones called the name of her husband sew
eral times; no response, however, came
back to relieve her anxiety. But upon at
tempting to force an entrance they were
greeted with those peculiar notes Of warn
ing which the ear of the East Tennessee
mOuntaineer never fails to recognize. The
door was at once broken down, and sight
met them that caused all to start with
fright and horror. The form of the distiller
lay upon the floor, with eyes starting from
their sockets, the features horribly DIS
torted and body swollen to twice it's usual
proportions, while the whole interior of the
building was alive with rattlesnakes, some
in coil and ready for battle, but the larger
proportion stupid and inert as though they
had been imbibing literally of the illicit
fruit of the still. The mother and son fed
horror stricken from the place.
A consultation was had, and. as it was
impossible to rescue the body of poor Jones
without incurring fearful riek, it was deter.
mined to reclOse the entrance and other
apertures. and fire the building, which was
entirely consumed and nothing remained
but the now useless still and the calcined
bones Of the miserable distiller.
1t is supposed that Jones had built his
manufactory close upon den of the deadly
reptiles in the overhanging cliff, and that,
attracted by the heat, or possibly the fumes
of the whisky, they found their way into
the building in large numbers after be had
closed the door and lay down to sleep

FIRES AT New MARTINsvILLE.-
About one o'clock Wednesday morning,
the saddler shop of man named Nc
Mund, in New Nartinsyillc, was discov-
cred on fire, and the stock and shop de-
stroyed. The loss was about $4,000. The
stock was insured for $500 and the house
for 400. McMucds house and the Me-
Eldowney Hotel narrowly escaped burn
ing. 1t is not certain rs to how the fire
started, but it is supposed it was caused
by defective fue.

consumed. The contents of the building
were mainly removed in time to be saved

from the stove pipe in the printing office.
