The Court in the decree says ::

There is no evidence that Mrs.
Brooks treated the slaves in question

see if the Court is correct. Read.

as to slaves mentioned in this section

both the sale bills of the estate OF

of 1852, That be knows the negro

Firss, IL is not disputed that the
debt was a legal demand against the
estate of w. Brooks, and was pad
bv Mrs. Brooks out of her individual
estate; she is accordingly entitled TO
a credit therefor.
Second. There is no evidence Vha'
Mrs. Brooks treated the slaves III
question as her individual property,
or in any way denied the rights Of
remaindermen in respect thereof.
She is entitled to the credit claimed.
Much argument is not necessary to
refute these bold assertions, In my
effort to show error in the decree IN
this matter I shall rely chiefly upon
the evidence taken by the referees
the reports of the referees, the ad
missions Of the executor OF Col'
Books an set forth in his various ex
captions, and upon the decree of thu
Circuit Judge. 1t is also worthy o
note that the executor did not, in III
complaint, set up this claim as a le
GAL demand against the estate OF nj
testator, but on the contrary assare'
the Court and the legatees, that u
lire.estate survived the wal and II
consequences, free from debt or II
c~umbrance. I will trace this matte
step by step, from the beginning. !

CAROLINE COUNTY, July s, Isl

CAROLINE COUNTY, July s. 1879.
Editors Dispatch: A man charged with
the robbery of J. FL. Biackley's store, at
Penola, Caroline county, on Sunday the
18th, and j. A. Baughan's store, at Hew-
let's. Hanover county, on Sunday the 22d
Of June, was arrested in Nelson county on
Sunday the 9th instant, and lodged in Caro-
line county Jail, at Bowling Green, yester-
day.
The statement in my communication OF
the 18th OF June, in which mentioned the
robbery OF Blackley'S store, that "no goods
were taken," was not correct. Mr.. Black
leg thought best to keep dark about the
goods. as they might lead to arrest. Be-
sides money, the store was robbed OF lew
elry, edgings, gloves, &c. /; some OF which
were given away after having been stolen.
and have been recovered. Nearly il not all
the rest were found In trunk owned by
the man who has been arrested. In Caro-
line, and about the Junction, in Hanover.
he was known as Wright; but west OF
Noelps, on the Chesapeake aud Ohio rail
road. he was known RS johnson, and a.
"the treating-man."
In the trunk mentioned was pistol and
watch-case and chain belonging to gen.
tleman in Caroline, and which were in q
showcase in BlackIey's store. The watch
was taken out OF the case before the store
was robbed, or the watch would have gone
with the case. Fl.
