Opinion ofthe Court by TARRELL, j.
There was a Judgment against Wiley at
the suit OF defendant in error, rendered by
the Mayor of New Albany, who by law W as
er-ObiciO Justice of the Peace. Wiley APP
pealed to the Circuit Court, where on motion
the appeal was dismissed, and leave TO
amend the affidavit for appeal was denied.
l. is not shown by the record whether the
conviction or judgment was for viol ation
of a town ordinance or law of the State.
Held:
|. The right to amend the affidavit is
clearly given by statute.
II. If the offence was against law of the
State, the right of appeal existed; if. how
ever, it was against town ordinance, then
the right of appeal, unless allowed ex-
pressly by statute, is doubtful. The nature
of the case not being shown by the record,
the judgment of the Circuit Court is pre-
sumed to be correct affirmed.

WE call the special attention of our
readers to the advertisements, in another
column, OF the celebrated Stieff Pianos
They have justly become the general favor
ties OF the Musical Ibic. Performers like
them on account of their evennesS of touch
and singing quality Of tone. Their finish is
in the highest degree artistic. aud their zen.
eral makeup is not surpassed BY that OF
any other manufactorv in this country In
proof OF this, it is scarcely necessary TO re
vert to the tact that through the sinking of
the steamer Louisiana. some time ago one
OF these Instruments was submerged in the
waters of the Chesapeake Bay, for period
OF over fOur months, and recovered in a re-
markable state of preservation, thus fully
establishing the truth of their assertion.that
none but the best materials are used in their
construction. Evidence of their durability
is further furnished by their extensive use
in the numerous schools and other institu-
tions, where they are subjected to the sever
est tests. We advise all who wish really
fine instrument, to buy the Stief.
They are also sole agents, for the Southern
States, of the = Matches Burdett Organs
which stand without rival. The gentle
manly courtesy and fair dealing of the
Messrs. Stieff, will be fully appreciated by
all who call upon them. feb22-1t

>. q. Sp1Sht VS. isaac WaIOFO"
Opinion of the Court, By SIMRALL, j.
This was a bill in equity by Spight
against Waldrow, for partition OF a tract OF
land, or for sale, and division of the pro-
ceeds, claiming an undivided One-third in
terest in the land. WaldrOw was in pos
session, holding adversely Hnder claim OF
title to the whole tract. Spight had pur-
chased an undivided One-third Interest at
xecutiOn sale under Judgment rendered
against one Tatum. There was evidence
on the point that Tatum had no title; and
the validity of the title set up by SPight was
denied in the answer The only ques-
lion considered by the Supreme Court was
whether the Court OF Equity had jurisdic-
ZION. Held:
|. TIE rule as to partition in equity Is,
that this remedy il not framed on the pred
icate that the ompiainant may liiigate and
establish his right against the defendant,
and rhen, in the same proceeding, have a
partition or a sale, The general rule is,
that the com plainant, where his title is de
MED, must first establish its validity at law
Ii. The remedy is also based on the the
DRY of joint possession. In the ease at
bar, even if the sale under the judgment
vested the title TO a third interest IN the
com plainant, the defendant holding adj
verse possession under claim of title TO the
whole tract, then the com piainant only had
a right of entry, and should obtain actual
seizin before he can demand partition. Al.

No. 1907

Opinion of the Court By SIMRALL, J.
This was a suit for breach of contract.
There was a trial and verdict for the
plaintiff in error, which was set aside on
motion by the CT cult Court and new trial
granted. There was a bill OF exceptions
containing the evidence on the first trial. On
the second trial there was a verdict and
Judgment for the defendant in error. No
bill of exceptions to the second trial The
objection here is that the first verdict was
improperly set aside. The case turned on
the facts. Held:
That it was not apparent that the first
verdict was improperly set aside, and the
result of the second trial affords strong
reason that the new trial was properly
granted Getting IS Mississippi, p. 1874, and

I.737.

Opinion Of the Court By FARRELL, J.
McCarley sold certain lumber to Thomas
Field on his credit. Thos. Field afterwards
sold the lumber to Mrs. Catherine Field,
who used it in the erection of building on
her land. McCarley filed petition against
Thos. Field and afterwards an amended pc
tition against him and Mrs. Field, TO en- force
Il mechanics lien on the land and buildings.
Held.
|. The plaintiff in error having sold the
lumber to Thos. Field on the credit of the
latter, and there being no priority of con-
tract between Mrs. Field and the plaintiff
in error, it follows that the latter had no
lien on her land for the lumber thus sold.
IL. If the case rested on the theory that
Thos. Field was acting as the agent of Mrs,
Field, then the remedy is barred by the six
months Limitation, the amended petition,
being the commencement of the suit against
her, not having been filed within the six
months required by the statute. affirmed.

Opinion Of the Court By SdRALL, J.
This was an issue at law as to the title
To personal property. There had been three
trials, the jury finding each time for the de-
tenGant in error. The evidence was con-
tlicting, and no question of law was pre-
scented. Held
That the case was peculiarly one for the
jury to determine, and the fact that there had
been three verdicts for the defendant in error
was strongly persuasive that the right was
with her. affirmed.
