more flattering than at the present season;
The recent rains brought out the corn and

benefited the cotton. There have been re-

had made its appearance in the fields, yet
they are of the general opinion that the
rumored report is not true.

verdict Monday as to the facts. In

court, the jury returned a verdict in
accordance, which does not determine
the case either one way or the other
but simply brings it before the Judge

law and reversed his decision. In

When the case Of Reuben Dunn,
colored, charged with grand larceny
came up in the Criminal Court yester.
day Attorney General Turner rose and
remarked that the accused was now
on the Island, having been sent there
by President Hidden for failure to
pay a fine of $50 imposed for larceny.
General Turner further said that as
duly qualified officer and expOunder
Of the law it was made his duty to
say that such proceeding on the part
of President Hadden was illegal and he
respectfully asked that His Honor cite
him to appear and show cause why he
should fine man for larceny. Judge
HOrrigan Whitfield his cedar chip a
little, smiled, and then answered that
if the Attorney General would make
written statement Of the facts in the
form of a regular complaint, and affix
his official signature to it, he would
take cognizance Of the matter.
The attorneys answer was that he
had made the statement verbally
which was now in the hands Of the
Court, to act upon as he pleased. No
further action was taken on this point,
but capias was issued for Dunn who
was brought into Court, and the case
aginst him nolle prosecuted on the
ground that the culprit was ofunsound
mind.
When President Hadden heard of
the affair ne gave vent to one of those
ready laughs ofhis, and remarked that
