Closing Of the Court.
The June term of Caledonia county
court closed Wednesday noon, the
term being shorter than the average
and the cases of not very much public
Importance. The last jury case was
Stannard V. Greensboro, apt. An APP
peal from an order of removal of pau
per. The jury found the legal settle
ment of the pauper in Greensboro and
that he was likely to become charge
allie and was duly removed, and for
Stannard to recover its costs.
Burke V. Westmore, apt. Also an
appeal from order of removal. Judg-
ment that pauper was unduly removed,
from which Judgment the plaintiff is
allowed exceptions. This case will
probably go to the supreme court.
Albert Dollof' V. Nathanl Bruce,
guardian. This case was the settle
ment of a guardians account, and
Judgment was given the plaintiff. The
case has been to the supreme court.
In case of State V. Austin X. For
saith and Nelson Burt, bound up for
breaking into NJ. w. Smiths store ut
West Burke, bonds were chancered to
800 and forfeited.
State V. Peter Simpson for abusing
child: bonds were chancered to $500
and forfeited.
State V. Robert Meader, perjury, de-
PENDANT withdrew plea of not guilty
and plead guilty, and was sentenced
to two and a half years in state prison.
This is a somewhat noted case. Mead
er was convicted of perjury in the
Danville bob-sled case, said sled being
valued at 50. He was sentenced to
prison for three years and incarcerated.
Afterward the supreme court granted
II new trial and he was removed to
jail in this place, where he has been
since last fall. He now goes back to
his old place. 1t was an aggravated
case of perjury because the induce
ment was so small yet it shows that
although the big rascals go Scott free,
the smaller ones have to catch it.
State V. Lewis Merchant, IMAM slaugh-
| ter, continued
In the case of State V. Cora Ryder,
adultery, the States Attorney filed in
| formation against her instead of bring

ing child, case continued and White
hill out on bail.
