The suit for slander of Alice Kirsted
against j. w. and Eliza Baumgartner
came up before '5quile Henry Buchanan
at the Court-house this morning. Alter
a three-hours' debate touching the
fine points OF the law in
the case, the question arose as to who
was to be held responsible for the costs.
Finally Col. Nelson consented to sign
the bond in order to 20 ahead with the |
9 se, but just then counsel for defense
found out that they were
not ready to 90 on with the
trial aud asked for postponement
which the Squire was about TO grant.
This riled Nelson 10 such all
extent, that he asked the docu-
ment that he had but short
Time before signed, and after getting it
IN his possession made fifty pieces OF 1t
and told the other side to go to - and
look for their COSTS. Here Nelson in a
fury withdrew the case, saying
tne Squire was entirely Incompetent to
try the case. The defendants endeavored
TO compromise the case. Mrs. Kirsted
declared if it were necessary she would
sell her bed to pay the costs and push
the case. The case will be taken to the
Circuit Court.

The proceedings Of Council last night
were quite interesting to those whU were
there, as was shown by q short though
