The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1882-02-04

We think Mr. Haigh was wisely ad-
vlsed to appeal to higher legal tribunal
tor the purpose of trying the several
very important points of law raised in
the case, and we believe, if he more
carefully are collects and prepares his
evidence, placing the same in the hands
of the best legal talent attainable, he
will conspicuously carry the day. We
are no advocates Of litigation unless
there is decided grievance which can
not be arranged out of court, and we
think Mr.. Haigh has, now, such an
one.
The management of the Tabard
Hotel by Mr.. and Mrs. Haigh, under
great and vexatious difficulties, will
long be remembered also their efforts
and success in pleasing those who went
under their roof, either as visitors of
long duration or transient guests, and
it is more than pleasant to record that
they have the hearty sympathy of
Rugby.

BOARD OF AID TO LAND
/ OWNERSHIP (lIMITED),
PER JOHN BOYLE, AGENT,
rs.
J. aRYIANDS HAlGH.

This suit was commenced in the large
room at the Commissary, on Tuesday,
January 3lst, 1882, before A. J. Young,
ESQ.,, J.P.
The colony was early astir, and there
was much discussion as to the way the
case would go. The morning was fine,
but cold, and much snow having fallen
during the night, the arrival of Mr..
Haigh's counsel was delayed. All those
who could get away from business, and
other occupations, were present in the
Hall, whilst, outside, the esteemed
judges yoke Of patient oxen waited at
the foot of the staircase, and the horses
of those who had come from distance,
quietly tied to trees, demurred not
against " "forcible detainer," which was
so exercising their masters, with their
fellow colonists, in the room above.
The complaint was oneof Forcible and
Unlawful Entry and Detaincr, made by
the Board Of Aid to Land Ownership
(Limited), per John Boyle, Agent,
being a Corporation owning property
and doing business under the laws of
Tennessee, of the "Tabard Hotel" said
hotel being the property of said Cor
poration with enclosed grounds thereto,
said Agent on behalf Of said Corporation
says he is unable to get possession of
said property, and alleges that said
Haigh unlawfully detains same from
said Corporation and their Agent.
The Court was opened by Squire
Young at eleven o'clock. Mr.. Haigh's
counsel not having arrived, Mr.. Murray
read sworn statement that Mr.. Haigh
had used due diligence in notifying
counsel and expected him any moment,
which was objected to by Mr.. Temple
ton on the ground that the defence had
received the six days notice required
by law. This objection was afterwards
withdrawn, and counsel for defence, Mr..
Murray, filed plea in abatement, at
which moment Mr.. Parker entered, and
the Court was adjourned until l.l5
pm, to give counsel opportunity to
prepare their case.
The court re-assembled at LIS pm.
In rebuttal of the Plea in Abate-
ment, Mr.. Templeton intro luced as
evidence the Act of Parliament for
incorporation of Joint Stock Companies,
the Articles of Association of the Board
Of Aid to Land Ownership, and Ger
tifcate of Registration and the Com
panys Seal. Mr.. w. A. Murray for
the defence objected to the admission
of the documents without the proper
certifcation of their validity. Mr.
Parker also followed his associate with
the same argument and added that the
instruments must be registered in the
County Court of the county in which
the Corporation proposed to do business
and that until the law was complied
with they denied the existence of the
Board of Aid.
His Honor ruled that the burden of
the proof as to invalidity of the docu-
ments lay with the defendants, and
admitted them as competent evidence.
Mr.. Templeton will now call Mr.
John Boyle, and introduce proof of
evidence that there is such a Corpor-
alton.
John Boyle, sworn, said, The
actual settlement began Oct. 9Th, 1880.
Agricultural settlers are here now.

------~--
The Board Of Aid has wen it's suit, but
can scarcely be congratulated upon
having done so, as it has been won at
the expense Of the entire sympathy Of
those who have the interest of Rugby
most at heart. ' 90 - Exit
Upon technical point, or two, Mr.
John Boyle has maintained his case
against Mr.. Haigh, but these points
were such as required greater know
ledge than that possessed by the Court
whilst the charge against Mr.. Haigh,
introduced by Mr.. Templeton, upon his
own responsibility, but tacitly consen-
ted to by Mr.. Boyle, was an outrage as
unjust, as it was in every way uncalled
for. 1t fell miserably to the ground,
and only brought confusion upon those
who tried to support it. q .r'.''| '1..o
Mr.. Young had most difficult task
toperform, but his patient and equitable
conduct was admirable, and worthy of
higher field than that of hotel
dispute. The Judgment was fair, and
dignifcd, and couched in most appro-
pirate language and style, but reading
between the lines, it was plain to see
that whilst desirous and determined to
do his dutyto the laws demands, the
Judges sympathics, and kindly feelings,
went out towards the defendant. He
even called the suit "quite frivolous
thing" and further said "still if the
law and evidence must be strictly com
piled WITH" thus showing it was only
tho letter of the law which found the
verdict, he must find for the plaintiff.
The case should never have been
brought into Court, and never would
have been, if ordinary business tact,
and real interest in the welfare of
Rugby had been uppermost in the
mind of the Board, to say nothing of q
kindly, christian forbearance, which
was not more than might have been
expected of those who were so solicitous
of the welfare of young Englishmen, as
to especially hold out to intending
settlers the advantages of temperance
colony. The cause Of temperance has
suffered by the Boards upwise and hard
prosecution, whilst the zeal shewn has
been of the ultra-teetotal sort which SO
brings into discredit one Of the sound
est and fairest progressive movements
of the day. The clap-trap of the plain
tiffs counsel was fine, when he elo-
quently showed how necessary it was
the Board should keep to its agreement
with those who had been induced to
come to Rugby partly, and in some in
stances mainly, on account of its tenn
perance principles. We confess it was
no small inducement in determining
our own coming here, but most devoutly
do we wish the eloquence of Mr.. Tenn
pleton could awaken In the Board of
Aid little fuller conscientiousness,
and display of desire, and energy in
carrying out it's other inducements, SO
largely advertised, to intending emil
grants, comparable to the amazing
energy displayed during the past month
over Mr. Haigh.l The zeal, however,
was a personal one, and for personal
ends, the Board of Aid knowing about
as much of the facts of the case, as
they know of the real state of the
colony.

This closed the case for the Prosecution.
Mr., Parker asked the prosecution to with
draw all the testimony regarding the alleged
misappropriation Of the Boards provisions, on
the ground that it was irrelevant, that il was
a direct slur upon his clients good name, and
an attempt to degrade him. q. uol'
Mr.. Templeton said. cannot do it. Ihaye
proven it by the testimony of Mr.. Henry
Boyle and the Boards books. la ~.
Mr.. Parker; 1t is simply monstrous, and
has no bearing whatever upon the case. ey
Mr. Templeton disclaimed having dragged
in irrelevant matter or attempted to cast a
slur on Mr.. Haigh, for whom he had most
kindly feelings; but maintained that Haigh
was mere agent for the Board, having no
pecuniary inter est in the hotel, and therefore
accountable btfo accountable to his employ
ers. If he had invested any of his own funds
let him shew it. By misappropriating pro-
visions as had been shewn he had committed
a fraud and felonious breach Of trust, for
which he was liable to arrest and from five to
twenty years Imprisonment.
Mr.. Parker held that the only point at issue
was why were entitled to the possession of this
property, felony had nothing to do with this
case. If he were guilty he should be looked
after according to due process of law, and not
in civil action. Not one word of proof had
been offered that the provisions were the
property of the Board of Aid. This was
merely introduced to prejudice the case. It
had not been shewn that Mr.. Haigh was W t.

able to the Board for bis management of their

that Bright'S disease of the kidneys is one Of

ingly increasing and that it can be cured.

Rather Enthusiastic.

The Wilmington del Daily Repub-
lican lately contained the following item
of popular interest: DR.. j. +. Speck,
who is connected with the Wilmington
Every Evening, speaks rather enthusi-
astically of st. Jacobs Oil. DR.. Speck
states that he uses the Oil in his family
as household remedy, sort of uni
versal panacea for all aches and pains,
and has always found it to act most hap
PLY. His attention was called to it by
the many testimonials i'll it's favor, and
he one day used it upon himself for sore
throat. Two applications were sufficient
to effect cure. He also used it on his
little girl for sore throat with gratifying
success. The same child had scarlet
fever this winter which left the tendons
of one leg much contracted. The little
prattlCr couldn't walk without assistance
and suffered much Inconvenience and
pain. Several applications of ST. ia
cobs Oil restored her limb to it's normal
condition and she has not experienced
any trouble since. DIR. Speck states
that he has also seen the Oil act charm
ingly III toothache. He thinks st. ia
cobs Oil is a sterling remedy, and does
not hesitate TO recommend it for rheu-
matism, etc.

NOT long ago Mr.. Beecher's door bell
was rung by bright-faced boy, who
seemed to be in breathless haste as he
asked to see the clergyman. He was adj
mitted, and at once explained that two
gentlemen down the street were holding
a debate over the proper spelling of a
word, and had sent him for Webster's
Unabridged to settle the question. The
quarto was obligingly handed to the
messenger, who hurried off with it. Mr..
Beecher has never learned how the or
Geographic difficulty was adjusted, but
he is aware that his library is minus one
dictionary. The jealous young collector
is probably ambitious to establish a
bookstore. as he has been heard from in
other parts of Brooklyn prosecuting the
same industry with local variations.

The Wolf and the Peasant.

[FroIn the Detroit Free Press)
One day q Peasant who was laboring
in his field was surprised at receiving a
visit from the Wolf, and be was about TO
rush for lis gun when the " called
out:
"Hold on, my frien, my visit is one
of peace [ have come to have Il serious
talk with you
"But you killed one Of my sheep

[ have come to talk about. / have felt
conscience-stricken ever since that event.
and have firmly decided to kill no more
sheep"
"Well, I am glad to hear it, and 1
| hope you viii stick to your resolution"
"Oh, / certainly shall, and l hope
you will give me due credit in the
| future
The Wolf took his departure with a
sweet bow and melting smile, and the
Peasant softly scratched the back of his
neck and did heap of thinking. That
night he placed a large trap at the weak
point in his calf-pen. and next morning
he found the Wolf held firm and fast.
"Excuse my embarrassment, began
the Wolf as the Peasant appeared, "but
why did you move this trap from the
sheep-fold ?"
because, replied the Peasant, as he
hunted around for club, experience
has taught NE that Wolf who is tired
of mutton is simply working up an ap-
petite for veal. "

a MINER REVERE.

Now slowly fades and dies the light of day,
While over hill and plain steals twilight gray,
Shrouding both lowly cot and lordiy ball
In sombre folds of natures funeral pail.
The wind means sadly through the branches bare
OF sturdy oak and elm. whose boughs, so fair
And green erewhile, waved gayly in the breeze
Their rustlipg leaves making sweet harmonies.
The limpid brooks which watered hill and glade,
Whose mu-muring music sweet accompaniment
made
To love-song of the birds, make no glad sound
For all are fast in icy letters bound.
The meadows, once so gay with blossoms bright,
Look brown and dreary in the cold, gray light;
While DER the hil-tops which the sunlight kissed,
Comes creeping up the cold and wintry mist.
The blitheeome birds who erst on joyous wing
Did thankful melodies in sweet notes sing,
Have ceased their song, and to SUMMER shore
Have flown, where they may still their glad notes
pour.
The merry insects who in colors fair
Oft danced so lightly on the summer air,
Are seen no more; their little part they played
In life-then sank in calm Oblivion's shade.
All things are hushed and still; vain strives the
To catch some mirthfu sound-nought but the clear
And ringing tone of woodman's axe is heard,
Or far off cry of some lone, startled bird.
But yet little while, and once again
Nature shall chant in glad, exultant strain,
For all-obedent to Divine command,
Sweet Spring shall spread her brightness DER the
land.
Their shall be heard again in SHADY grove
And leafy dell glad symphonies of love,
Warbed by sweet-voiced songsters, and unborne
To realms celestial on the wings of morn.
The flowers upgpringing from Earth's genial breast,
In all their gayest, brightest colors drest,
With rich ux1lriance shall bedeck the ground,
And shed their fragrant perfume all around.
E' Earth's many voices shall harmonious blend
In one glad chorus, which shall cen ascend
To highest Skies proclai1ning far and near,
stern Winters past, and merry Spring is here "
