a novel action at law has been
brought against Justice Field, Of the
Massachusetts, Supreme Court, by
Mary Mccarthy, formerly of Canton.
Tde plaintiff seeks to recover the
sum OF $4,000 for injuries alleged
to have been sustained by her in
mind, body, estate and reputation,
which injuries are alleged to have
been caused by an illegal transfer Of
a suit against her from the Supreme
Judicial Court of Suffolk County to
the Superior Criminal Court OF Nor
folk County, without notice to her,
her aurelies or attorney. AS re
suit Of this alleged illegal transfer
she was committed to the women s
prison at Sherborn, where she b as
been compelled to associate with al
legged disreputable persons, she al
leging herself to have always been
an honest, peaceable and vlrtuous
girl. She further declares that the
refusal Of the defendant, Judge Field
to Issue writ Of haJeas corpu8i
when apprised by her friends and
eureLies Of the alleged true Iacts in
the case, has deprived her of her
just rights under tbs constitution
and has caused her g eat anxiety of
mind AMI fatigue Of body. Plaintiff
further declares that ehe IS still
held at involuntary serviDude at a
house on Temple Street, Boston, by
a woman said to be the wife Of a
prison contractor. The suit has
been duly entered, and the estate OF
Judge Field has been attached in the
sum Of 500, 600.

AN AGED JUDGE.

Probably the Oldest Presiding
Judge in the world, says the Balti-
more Day. is James Garland, Of
Lynch0Urg, Virginia, who, though
he reached the age OF ninety lest
Friday, administers Justice in the
Corporation Court. The only other
case in recorded history is that Of
Sir Thomas Eore, who st the same
age sat on the Kings Bench. while
his distinguished sou, Sir John More,
was Chancellor. Judge Garland was
born IN Nelson County, aud nearly
all his long life has been in the pub.
&c service. Fifty years ago, after
being IN the State Legislature, he
entered Congress ss jackson Dem
ocrat. In 1888 no lost his seat, aud
soon aiterward moved to Lynch
burg, where for II years he prosecu-
ted all criminals arraigned by the
State in the Courts OF that city.
For twelve years past he has been
Judge of tho Corporation Court, a
tribunal of the highest jurisdiction,
which passes upon cases of lile and
death. Something more than a year
ago his eyesight, long since failing,
was lost entirely, neoessitating the
reading by counsel Of all papers
submitted by them, and it is remark
ed that he retains their contents per-
fectlY after once hearing them.
This, however, is the last year Of his

GUITBAU'S SPIRITUAL ADTISER.
The Rev. w. ". Hicks, says the
Boston Globe, besides being a Minis
ter OF the Gospel, is a politician Of
the modern type. He is devoted to
the Interests OF tas Republican
Party, ard has figured extensively
as a worker la behalf of that party 8
supremacy IN the South. A valued
correspondent, who happens to know
him we'll, is authority for the state
ment that a few years ago-in the
campaign OF lS76--he went through
the State Of Maine and made sew
eral speeches. He was at that time
a resident OF Florida. and when the
pinch came, and the present accom-
phshed Secretary Of the Navy went
down 10 steal the vote of that Com
monweaIth for HAYES, DR.. Hicks was
on hand TO DO hire shsrs of the work
While in Maine he told some thrill
ing stories about the wholesale
slaughter OF inohensiVe colored men
who wished TO vote the Republican
ticket. In one county, so he told
his Maine auditors, 800 men were
slain because they dared TO deposit
their ballots for the cause Of the
Union and good government, az rep
resented by the Republican Party.
Two years ago orr correspondent,
who beard his speech in Maine, inet
DR.. Hicks IN Jacksonville and asked
him where the slsugktered dark,es,
whose fate he so graphically desert
bed, We're buried, but he declined to
furnish the information, aud refused
10 20 into the discussion, giving as
an excuse hat his life Would he ta-
ken II he divulged the terrible Pc
cret. II is needless 10 say that the
story wac a pure fabrication, invent
ed solely for eject IN the North, and
told with all the reckIeesness which
characterized the campaign lies of
that exciting period.
Dr. Hicks had a small church in
Florida, attended chiefly By co!ored
people, whose fancies he excited bT
horrible tales OF intimidation and OF
prospective slavery 10 case they did
not vote the RePublican ticket. We
had lost sight Of him, and if his
name had not come up in connection
with the Guiteau case we would be
liable to have forgotten bin alto
gether.

THE MULTETUDE FROW ABROID.
During the last months nearly
forty per cent. more immigrants
were landed at New York than in
the corresponding period Of last
yesr.
For the six months Of 1882 the ar
rivals aggregated 278143, against
200082 in 1881. The total of the
whole year, therefore, is likely to be
somew here near half a million.
And that is the immigration re-
ceived at single port only. Though
New York ia the irst destination Of
so vast share of the comers, the
other ports Of the country receive in

From Canada we yesrly get large

more especially when the times are
good in the Republic, when sgricul .
ture is prosperous, manufacture are
active, and the prospects are iavora-

cipal sources from which we draw
