Editors Dispatch: have seen many COM
plants in your paper OF the escape Of
sewcr.sas. and would suggest as a remedy
that the city authorities insert at each sewer
opening on the strect-eorners small su;h
ply water-pipc, connecting with the water
main and traps, 50 as to keep u constant
flow, and thus carry off the sand which is
constantly collecting there, and ut the same
tinle will prevent the offensive smell OF
sewcr-gas on the streets. There will be but
little waste OF water, and great good will
be accomplished. PRACTICAL MAN.

| THE PAaE-CLopToS MANDAaUs CASE
THE OPINION OF THE SUPREME COURT.-The
opinion of the Supreme Court as delivered
| at Wytheyille by Judge Burks has been sent
to the clerk OF the court here.
This was can application to the Supreme
Court to issue writ Of n1anda7lus to COM
pei the Honorable William ]. C.opton, judge
of the Hastings Court Of the city Of Man
chester, to sign several bills OF executions
rendered by the rclator. Samuel NJ. Page, to
n Judgment for fine (s15) imposed on him
for an alleged contempt by ms6ehavior in
the presence OF the said court" The learned
Judge occupies twenty legal cap pages in
considering whether the remedy sought is
the proper ore. He decides that 1t is, ands
after reviewing the case, concludes:
"To deny to the relator the right to except
at the time he desired and offered to do so,
and have bis executions embodied in bill
and made part OF the record, so as to en-
able him to have the judgment renewed on
q writ OF error. il applied for and allowed,
would, we think, be harsh and rigorous
application OF the rule as TO the time OF
rendering exceptions not warranted by the
circumstances OF this case.
"The respondent is mistaken is supposing,
rs By the return he seems to have supposed,
| that it was "a matter OF favor to the re-
lator to allow him to except to the judgment
Of the court when he offered to do so on the
9th OF the month. 1t was the realtors alb
solute right then to except, and as clearly
the duty of the respondent to sign a proper
bill OF exceptions, with Il certificate OF the
| facts.
"The bill filed with the return was not
bill rendered by the relator, nor was he
heard or allowed the opportunity OF being
heard in its preparation and settlement.
He has the right OF being heard in the set
tIing of any bill which may be proper in
| the case.
"We are, therefore. Of opinion that the
rule against the respondent should be made
absolute, and that peremptory writ OF
nandamus should be issued directed to the
respondent commanding him on the tender
by the reIator OF bill OF exceptions to the
Judgment rendered against him, il the truth
OF the case be fairly stated in SAID bill, tc
sign it; and ii the truth OF the case be moi
fairly stated therein, to proceed to settle
the same, and when settled to sign it; and
in either case to order the bill, so signed, tc
be made part Of the record in the pro
ccedings which said judgment was reu
dered-and such will he the order OF thu
courts

has come before tue Supreme Court Of Nir
