tleman had been found who could speak for the
American people; who could tell what the people
were going to do. He sincerely regretted that
his colleague (BanDiog) should speak in q time of

needed all its wisdom, all its fa ness and all its
cslmncss,-that be should have found it necessary
at such time to hint at what the people would
do that they would defy the authority of the
u oited States; that the army might Gomez that
the navy might come that the trsppings of war
might rattle. but the people would come down
and over ride everything. 1t was the very es-
sence Of violence for gentleman to appeal 10 the
people to resist the plain process of law and in an
hour like this the men who attempted to shake
brand Of fire over the country We're the men who
ought to be most severely judged by the people.
After further debate the petition was read and

Tuesday. December %.

IIESpAI, beCCuuSI <Os
No case was opened to the jury to-day, the case
assigned having failed for want of readiness on
the part Of the plaintiff. DISPOSITIONS OF witnesses
residing in q distant State vera deemed material
for the plaintiff, but had not been taken. The
judge thought sufficient diligence had not been
used to procure them, and awarded costs for the
defendant to be paid the consideration for q
further postp onement. Considerable time was
spent in a recall Of the docket, and good many
actions disposed Of by default. So the day was
not lost.
"WEDNESDAY, December 81.

Titcomb for plaintiff; Bean for defendant. This
is an action of trespass for entering upon the de-
PENDANTS premises in Readfeld in September,

value of 800. Mrs. Craig the defendants wife
had previously sold the place, where the manure
was, to the plaintiff, her son, and such sale un-
der ordinary circumstances would carry the ma
nure. But the defendant claims that he had not
gone out Of possession Of the place; that the ms
dure was in part made by his own stock fed with
his own hay, and that he had a right to remove
it. The jury retired at half past four and were
not long in agreeing to verdict for the plaintiff
for $50.
