A Fatal Affray

A Fatal ARRAY
Occurred Friday, Sd instant, at May
binton, in this County, between MIR.
Jno. L. Lyles on one side and Mr..
James Thomas and son of his on
the other. Mr.. Lyles has been married
three times; his first two wives having
been daughters of Mr.. Thomas. There
has been some trouble between the
father-in-law and son-in-law for some
time in reference to property. The
parties met Friday at Maybinton at a
sale of some personal property, and q
difficulty arose between them. Mr..
Lyles drew his pistol and shot Mr..
Thomas, inflicting q wound that is
thought to be mortal. Mr.. James
Thomas, Jr.. came to his fathers assist
ance, and advanced upon Mr.. Lyles
with a club. Lyles fired three shots at
him; the first struck him in the breast,
but the ball was turned by striking q
bundle of papers in his pocket; the sec
ond shot struck his pocket-knife and
glanced of; the third passed through
his left arm. Young Thomas kept ad-
vaucing, and as soon as he got within
reach he struck Lyles on the head with
the clsb, breaking the skull and caus-
ing almost instant death. These are
the facts as reported to US.
Trial Justice Bynum, acting as Coro'
ner, held an inquest over the dead body
Saturday, the jury returning verdict
of iustifable homicide.
The deceased was about thirty-two
| years old; he leaves a wife but no chill
dren.

Two important Cases


Of public interest were heard and de-
cided at the late term of the Circuit
Court. One was the case of D. II.
Wheeler against Newberry County.
Mr.. Wheeler sold lumber to the County
Commissioners several years ago, at
the price customary at that time; his
account was approved by the then Board
of County Commissioners, and two pay
ments were afterwards made on it; one
of 16 3-4 per cent. in 1874, the other of
26 per cent. in 1876. The Commission
appointed by the Governor, composed
of Messrs. Caldwell, Longshore and
Lipscomb, disallowed the claim, or
scaled it, when it came before them.
Mr.. Wheeler refused to accept a certif-
cate for less than the full amount, and
brought action against the County for
the full amount of the claim remaining
unpaid. The County contested the case
on the ground that there had been no
appeal from the action of the Commits
sion it's decision was final. Mr.. Wheel
er proved that he sold the lumber to
the Commissioners at the prices charged
private individuals, which was no more
than the lumber was worth at that
time, that it was delivered, and that
the County Commissioners approved
the claim. These things having been
proved, the only question remaining
was whether the Commission was a
Court. whose decision was binding.
Judge Kershaw charged the jury, on
this point, that the Commission was not
a Court, but was in the nature of a CON-
mittee appointed to ascertain and report
the bona jide Indebtedness of the Coun-
ty. AS evidence that the Legislature
did not regard the action Of the Com
mission as Judicial and final, the Joint
Resolution of the Legislature, passed
after the Commission had made its re-
port to that body, directed the County
Commissioners to issue certificates Of
Indebtedness upon those claims found
valid by the Commission, and etpo1a such
other claims as might thereafter be found
valid By any Court Of competent .j111S-
d5ctson. The jury found for the plain
tiff the full amount of his claim, less the
payments. >.
It is feared by some that the decision
in this case will open up a great deal of
litigation against the County; but we
don't think so. A large number OF re-
iected claims would not bear ventila-
ton in Court Of justice; and those
who have accepted certificates for small
er amounts than their claims called for
are precluded from taking any further
steps.
The other case was that of the State
against H. G.. Moses, former Clerk OF
Court, and bis bondsmen, on his official
bond. He gave two bonds while he
was Clerk. The case on the latter,
given April 4, 1877, was heard first, and
the jury found for the plaintiff for S1O,-
900, the penalty of the bond, which ver-
| dict is for the benefit Of parties inter-
ested. In the suit on the first bond, the
jury, in accordance with the charge Of
the presiding Judge, found verdict IN
favor Of the defendants.
All the above cases will probably 60
| up TO the Supreme Court on appeal.
