Mr.. ThOs. H. Kelly, who has had
charge of the express office at this
place for some two years past, has
been promoted by the company to
Jackson, Miss, for which place he left
on Saturday evening last. Mr.. Kelly
is a deservedly popular young gentle
man who has made hosts of friends
during his residence here by his uni
forrply polite and gentlemanly con-
duct, and strict attention to business.
While we are sorry to lose him, we
are glad the express company have
shown their appreciation of his valua-
bic services by advancing him to a
more responsible and lucrative posi-
ton. Holly Springs South.
We are sorry to lose our popular
young friend Dave Ewing, who has
so acceptably filled the position of
Manager of The Express Company at
this place; but we judge from the
above complimentary notice, that his
successor will fill the bill.

Tie Excursion to New Orleans,

| Mr.. Avcry's excursion from Grenada to
New Orleans, and return, on the 9th OF
July, was u happy idea, and success.
The eXcurSionists-abo five hundred and
| from all parts of the State-enOyed the
trip exceedingly. They had two days and
three nights in New Orleans, in which to
see the sights and enjoy the delightful trips
TO the Lake Shore, at Spanish Fort and
West End--thosc delightful resorts where
refreshments, music, boat sailing, prone
nades, driving, bathing, etc, are all to
be enjoyed for II tritle, and the delightful
sea breezes thrown in. The excursion was
orderly and well conducted, no noise, con-
fusion or rowdyism, and ample room with
out crowding. Mr.. Avery had on board
the cars plenty of ice water gratis, iced
lemonade. ice cream, cakes, fruits, cigars
nice lunches of "chickcn tXins," at city
prices, viz: lunch and Il glass of ice-cold
beer for twenty cents. Those who failed
to attendant there were many who were
deferred from going on account of an
unauthorized statement in some of the
papers that the trip had been abandoned
missed treat indeed Many were also
prevented by fear Of being quarantined
against returning, or of having to undergo
an examination to get a certificate to return.
They found the city perfectly clean, healthy
and free from sickness, and no restrictions
were placed on their return, and no GER
tificates required. We are pleased tolearn
that Mr.. Avery, at the unanimous request
Of his party, and on account of his signal |
success, has consented to get up another
IF the same sort for september LIST, if the

tut for it The hotels make special reduced
ates. and it is cheaper to go on one OF
Avery's excursions than it is to stay at
lome. So says one of his passengers.

=, county, Hon. Ralph North, Judge.
u Defendants in error sued out an attach

. Der, 1877, returnable to the April term
1873, OF the Circuit Court. The writ wa,
leVied the same day upon stock of sad
uIery, harness, ETC., as the property of the
defendant therein. November 10, 1877
plaintiff in error, by affidavit, pro.
pounded her claim of right of property ia
. said goods.
! May I'D, 1873, plaintiffs in attachment
traverSed the claim of Mrs. Smokey, as
follows: "And now come the plaintiffs
ny thelr attorneys, and say that the said
personal property levied on by the Shcr-
Ill OF said county. under and by yjr-
Tue OF said writ of attachment lately sued
out IN said cause, and at the commence
mcnt of this suit IT. is not now.
and was not at and before the date of the
levy of said attachment, by right and law
iul title the sole and separate property of
the afiiant, the said claimant Mary E.
smokey; and that said claimant was not

ana plaintiffs further say, that at said date
OF said writ and said levy, John j. Smokey
did have full title and interest in the said
property, and every part thereof, subject
TO said writ and levy; and for trial said
plaintiffs put themselves upon the country"
At the December term, 1873, the claimant
made formal motion for the release of the
goods levied on, because by default of the
plaintiffs in attachment, no issue for the
trial of the right of property had been
made up. The motion was overruled.
The cause was then tried before the
court, jury being waived, resulting in
Judgment for the plaintiffs in attachment.
Pending said claimants issue, j. J. Smokey
remained i'll possession of the goods as the
agent of the claimant. His acts in DEALING
with the goods during that time were adj
mltted in evidence against the objection
of the claimant.

l. The averment of the plaintiffs below,
that at the date Of the seizure of the goods
by virtue of the writ of attachment, they
were the property of the defendant therein.
and subject TO the attachment was Il sutfi-
cient rendering of an issue to comply with
the statute-COde, Sections, SIS, $50, $50.
All that precedes this averment is useless
yerbiage, and might have been expunged
with advantage, but it did not vitiatc the
proper and only proper averment viz
that title was in the defendant.

the claimant, which, in possession of the
goods for her and dealing with them, were
admissible in evidence

PLANTERS INSURANCE COM
PANY, OF MEMPHIS. ct al.
Error TO the Circuit Court of Lauderdalp
county, Hon. j. c. Roberts, Esq, specia
Judge.
Plaintiff in error brought suit in the Cir
cult Court against The Planters Insurance
Company, of Memphis, The Planters Insur-
ance Company OF Mississippi, and The
Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany, of Richmond, Va, for malicious
prosecution. The declaration contains
four counts in trespass on the case, alleg-
ing the prosecution of plaintiff by defend
ants on charge of arson, causing his i'm
prisonment for time, loss and injury to
business, expenditure of money in his de-
Tense, but resulting in his acquittal
A demurrer to the declaration was sus-
tanned, based mainly upor two grounds,
viz: 1st. Misioinder of two causes of ac-
tion-malicious prosecution and false i'm
prisonment. I'd. The defendants being
artificial persons, could not make an aflida-
Wit and sue out warrant or act maliciously
against any one.
w. II. Hardy and JnO. W. Jewell for
plaintiff in error.
Nugent & Melville for defendants in
error.
CAMPBELL, J,
Held
The objection TO the declaration for mis-
jOinder is not well taken. The ayerment
of the imprisonment of the plaintiff in con-
sequence of the malicious prosecution, did |
not convert the action into trespass for |
false Imprisonment, even under the absurd |
of the common law pleaders,
in their subtle distinctions between al Il
1FmiS and ease.
2. A corporation may be held liable for a
malicious prosecution conducted by its
officers and agents, just as if the corpora
ion was natural person.
Judgment reversed, demurrer overruled,
md cause remanded.
