week on affidavit OF Mr.. A. @. Hewitt,
charging him with the uttering and
passing Of false and fraudulent parish

entire part OF last week sum up briefly
about as follows
Clemens owed Hewitt O butcher bill
amounting to something over forty dol
lars, and in part payment thereof passed
upon Hewitt several pieces Of scrip.
The scrip had been previously issued by
Clemens himself in his capacity as
Clerk of the Court. It was issued to
witnesses living within five miles
OF the court house, some OF 1t had
allowed more time to witnesses
than they were entitled to; some OF
1t had been allowed in cases that had
never been upon the docket and that
never were in existence, and some Of 1t
had been raised from what it had been
originally to increased amounts.
The case was argued yesterday by
Major J. B. Corkern for the prosecution
and Judge I. Eel. Crawford for the de-
Tense. Mr.. Bradfield will close the ar
gument on behalf Of the State and sub
NIT the case to-day.
