Habeas Corpus Abandoned.

The HERALD made mention few morn
ings since that Mr.. Ike McCommas had sud
out a writ of habeas corpus IN the county
court to regain possession of bis daughter, a
fifteen year-old lass, who had left her home
and gone t. live with her brother'in-l and
sister, Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson, giving as a
reason why she deserted the parental roof,
that her mother did not conduct herself as a
vlrtuous woman should.
The parties appeared in the county court
Yesterday morning, when the attorneys for
Mr.. McCommas withdrew the application
and the girl was permitted to go free. The
applicant deemed it best to abandon the
matter, as trial would have brought out
family affairs of a damaging character, not
to the girl but to another member Of the
family. She returned to the home of her
sister, where she proposes to reside in the fu'
