AN IMPORTANT DECISION.


Chancellor Cooper, Of Nashville,
holding the Chancery Court for this
county 10y interchange withChancellor
Temple, decided a very important case
a few days ago, known as the Ocoee
Bank case.
The holders Of Ocoee Bank money
have several years back been taking
judgment on their notes in the Circuit
Court for this county. a bill was filed
in the Chancey Court i'm behalf Of
these judgment creditors against the
stockholders of the OcOee Bank, soek~
ing to hold them personally liable TO-.
the judgments, alleging fraud in the
management of the bank, and that
but little of the stock subscribed had
in fact ever been paid. The case has
been litgated for some six years, and
was heard last week, most of the men,
beers Of the bar being interested. The
Chancellor rendered decree which
tears the old stockholders up by the
roots. He sustained the charges of
fraud in its management, and gave
decree against the stockholders for the
full amount claimed, amounting in
the aggregate, we are informed, TO
considerably over $4,000.

ANOTHER SUICIDE.
WIN. 4. DOweII IL Found I'm the River.
Dend.

Sabbath afternoon, we met Coroner
Rose, on horse back, going out Clinch
street, and he informed us that he was
on his way to hold an inquest over the
remains of VIM. f. Dowell, who had
committed suicide by drowning him
self in the Holston river. We learn
that for several weeks he has been
labOring under mental alteration, and
made several attempts to commit
suicide. On last Saturday, we learn
that he swallowed some broken glass
and seed of the well known James
town weed, from the effects of which
death would have been the result but
for the friendly assistance of DIR.
BOyntOn, who administered an emetic.
His father was subject to mental alb
CREATION, and bequeathed the malady to
his children. His brother Richard, it
Will be remembered, com mitted suicide
not long since by shooting himself,
and this latter calamity, it is thought,
had much to do with his taking the
fearful step, as he broOded much over
his brothers. death. Another brother
died insane, and sister is in the same
condition.
Coroner Rose summoned jury of
inquest who rendered Il verdict in
accordance with the above facts.
Mr.. Dowell possessed some ability as
a humorist, and contributed to the
columns Of the Daubury NClCs, Detroit
Free Press and other journals.
