j. c. KEARBY.
know w. H. Price; he is Justice
of the peace in this precinct; / have heard
Mr.. Cowart ay Justice Price had debarred
him from practising in his lPrice's( court;
| remember case in which Mr.. JacKsonl|
tried to Gust Price from Offices the PRICE,
mentioned by me as justice of the peace is
the Price who was party to that case, and
the relator in this case (Cowart) was wit
ness in it, and my recollection is that one
of the causes urged for Prices removal was
his arbitrary debarring of the said Cowart.
The state then introduced the record in
the case of Jackson VS.. Price as evidence, ana
then rested.
The case was then submitted without ar
gument and the following
). JUDGMENT
rendered: "Relator is remanded to, the
custody of the sheriff, and his bond is fixed
at $780,"
The relator then entered into his re-
cognzance with W. X. Wheelock, q. Il.
Vreeland, J. A. Work and W. H. Prather
as sureties.
MI. Cowart as soon as he gave bail went
