SUIT IN EoUrTY.-For the past three days
Judge Waymire, in Department Two of the
Superior Court, has been engaged in hearing
the case of w. T. Wilson va. Ellen Nee.
Wilson, his wife. The attorneys for the de.
PENDANT are Attorney General A. L. Hart,
Alb. G. freeman and George Z. Bates; for
The plaintiff, Henry Edgerton and Grove L.
johnson. The action is brought in equity to
compel the defendant to rsdeed to the plant
iii 2, 200 acres of land on the Cosumnes river,
In Sacramento county. It appears that on
the 18th day of November, 1875, Mr.. Wilson
wished to use 81 900 in money, and borrowed
the same from his wife. He gave her deed
to the 2, 200 acres of land with. as be SAYS. an
agreement that she should deed the same
hack to him whenever he paid her back the
$1,000, with interest at II per cent. per
annum. Sincs the land was conveyed to
Mrs. Wilson it has increased in value to
double what it was worth when the trausac-
ton was made. Mrs. Wilson claims that she
bought the land of her husband, paid him all
it was worth at the time of the purchase, did
not agree to deed it back to him, and does
not propose to do so now. Both of the liti.
giants are wealthy and will fight the thing
through the Courts on its merits. There are
about seyenty-fve parsons subpenaed to
testify in the case. They are all in attend.
ance, and the trial is attracting considerable
attention.
The HAMILTON CAsE.-Clinton L. White
last evening received Information that the
Supreme Court yesterday at San Francisco
granted his motion for a reheariug in behalf
of defendant in the case of the People vs..
Nancy Hamilton, who was convicted in this
county of killing her husband and sentenced
to the State Prison for seven years. The re.
hearing granted is of the appeal case of de.
PENDANT in the Supreme Court, and in which
the Court not long ago made decree, and
under which defendant was committed to the
State Prison. It does not follow OF necessity
that she will be granted new trial. The
points made by her counsel, Mr.. White, on
the motion for a rehearing, were First
That when juror says, on examination, that
he has qualified opinion, the defendant is
entitled to have the juror declare whethsrit
is for or against the defendant. Second
That the instruction to the jury that insan,
ity. when relied upon, must be clearly estab.
lished by satisfactory proof, is error.
