Circuit Court Items.

The May term of the Circuit Court nd
journed sine die on Saturday morning at
about 3o'clock after having accomplished
q good terms work.
In the case of Parker vs. Parker in
which plaintiff seeks TO recover posses
sion of specific articles Of personal prop
erty, and in which defendant aswered
that she was the wife of plaintiff, the
plaintiff demurred to the answer, and the
demurrer was sustained by the Court.
The amount involved is but trifing, as 1t
only consists of the worth Of a pillow, a
couple Of sheets, three or four spoons and
q knife and fork, but the parties will not
share them together, but both want them.
The case of John Godfrey VS. John NJ.
Mitchell was the one around which the
particular interest of the public seemed
to center. The plaintiff claimed that in
1875 the defendant enticed away his wife,
won her affections broke up his home,
and laid his damages at s 5000. The eyl-
dence disclosed that as early as 1874 the
defendant visited plaintiffs house several
times, that he mended the wife's shoes,
at one time gave her a new pair, and at
another time a dollar. That in return for
the shoes, she was to let him have chick
ems, and for the dollar she was to quit
smoking. This story was corrobated by
Alonzo Moore that he had seen them al
the stable counting the chickens" In
1875 plaintiff and his wife went to live on
defendants farm in Grant tip. They
lived there for some time, when they left
and went to Kozta in Iowa Co. After
wards the wife returned to Mitchelrs
house where she has lived most of the
time since. Much Of the testimony is
unfit for publication. The cast was ably
managed, and the arguments Of the diff
ferent counsel were good. We have
heard particular mention Of that Of Mr..
Kinne ono OF the attorneys for the de-
fence. Mr.. Stivcrs made the closing arr
gumsnt on Friday evening, and the case
was submitted on voluminous instruc-
tions BY the Court at about 8 o'clock p, m.
At about 8 o'clock the next morning the
jury came in with . verdict for plaintiff
for $1,000. A motion for = new trial was
made, and the case continued ON the
motion, to DO heard at the November
term.
1t is to be hoped that If q new trial is
granted. . change Of venue will be or
