EBOirrF Sn 1900

Mr.. Justice Peyton, dissenting from the
majority Of tie Court, expressed the follow
ing views:
l. The purpose and meaning Of article vi.
sec. u. was to give jurisdiction TO Justices
of the Peace III all civil cases, e.c-coatrdctu
for sum certain. or capable OF definite as
certainmenL, where the principal amount
did lot exceed one hundred and fifty dol
lars: md that il did not extend to actions
for the recovery Of specific property or to
actions e2c-deEict0, or for Gniiquidated dam
ages.
The term ''principal amount in contro-
versy" sustains this view, and excludes the
idea OF actions for personal property Or
for unliquidated damages.
Ii. The Constitutions of 1917 aud 1882, in
giving jurisdiction to Justices of the Peace
used the term amount in controversy
thus leaving the jurisdiction TO d. defeated
by accruiug interest; to remedy this eYI'
and render the juris fiction certain, the term
Constitution Of go.
III section II, article g. CONSTITUTE of
1869, excludes from the Circuit Court juris-
diction in civil cases where the 'principal
amount in controversy" is less than one
hundred and fifty dollars; and constituting

Dragging ont Existence.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not en-
joy life, but merely s'drags out existence
as the phrase is. United for the active pu{
suits of life. and Incapable of paftaKing o ]
its pleasures, to which health alone can give
lest; disinclined to social intercourse,
and a. prey to melancholy, the valetudina-
rian is indeed an object of pity. Yet there
is nothing in all this that cannot be rene
died by that genial alternative tonic and ner-
vine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
supplies deficient stamina, braces the ner-
vous system, and oYereomes those bodily
irregularities to which nervous weakness is
most frequently attributable. Diseases of
the kidney and bladder, imperfect digestion
and uterine troubles are fertile sources of
debility. Their eradication, however, be-
comes matter of certainty when Hostel
letters Stomach Bitters are Systematically
sued for that purpose. The BitteTs likewise
annihilate and prevent fever and agEe and
other debilltating febrile complaints of a
walarial nature.

on his growing crop, reciting that it was
also intended to secure an agricultural lien
under act of February 18th, 1867: Il vas
recorded in the Ghancery Clerks office.

of the CROP to one Byers who sold to
Stephens and Kirkwood. Wilson, jennings

thereupon Stephens q kirkwood brought

The deed in trust was Intended by the
parties to have double aspect, viz: TO con-
stitute an agricultural lien, and also TO

This was action against the corporate
authorities OF Grenada for a tresspass to
real estate. In working the streets the en-
ployees of the town entered on plaintiffs
lot and removed several cart loads of the
soil. This was not authorized or ratified by
the corporate authorities. There was a
judgment for the defendant. He'll:
|. A municipal corporation, as general
rule, Is not liAble for the unauthorized and
Illegal acts of its officers, it must further
appear that they were expressly authori
zed to do the acts, or that they were done
bona .fde in pursuance of general author
ity to act for the corporation on the subject
to which they relate; or that in either case
the act was adopted and ratified by the cor
poration,
In view of this rule on the whole ease the
