In the divorce suit OF Catherine Down.
ton VS.. William Downton, the defendant
has filed all answer asking for dismissal
of the petition. He states that they were
married in 1861, and, in anticipation of
business troubles, he transferred all of his
property to his wife through County
Judge Phelps, and in 1871, he having over
come his business troubles, induced his
wife to recanvey the property which she
willingly did without any intimidation.
The plaintiff, e states, through ill advice
of evil-minded persons, thought she would
have possession of the property, and he
refusing, she filed the suit for divorce, but
promised to withdraw it if he would re-
cover the property to her. He claims to
have always supported his wife and family
in very comfortable manner.
CRIMINAL CoURT.-Jas. Williams pleaded
guilty to the James Walsh burglary, and
the jury fixed his punishment at four years
in the Penitentiary. He had made up his
mind to stand five, but after the verdict
his mind reverted with little more ten
derness to his wife and three children, and
he shed tears at his fate. They live in
| Nashville, Tenn. we understand.
In the James w. Browning case the Jury,
after two and half hours labor, brought
forth verdict of two years. At first the
| jury stood eight for conviction to four for
acquit'al. Gradually this changed to eleven
to one, that one being Mr.. Bently, of Ind.
low, and finally he gave in to the shortest
term fixed by the law. Some of the Jurors
were for the longest term-ten years
Browning and his wife looked rather salts
| fed than otherwise at first, but in mn-
ment or two realization of the coming
dread separation came over them and they
both wept. lu
