SUPERIOR COURT.
The Case Of Dempsey W. MalOney-
An Unexpected Termination.

Court resumed proceedings at 8 clock
yesterday afternoon, and proceeded
with the case of Sarah Dempsey, w.
Bridget Maloney. j. Earnest Smith
sworn, and testified that he is connected
with the Wilmington Savings Fund
ftSscist0 NJ He >iaenti6ed a, cA4ok -, Ans
that had been given Sarah Dempsey on
account Of her deposit, and it was
offered in evidence by Mr.. Bird.
George ID. Armstrong, of the First
National Bank, testified that a check
for S530.98 was charged to the Will
mington Savings Fund. The bank book
was offered IN evidence. The deed and
cOnveyances of the property were also
offered in evidence, and Mr.. Bird, for
the plaintiff, announced that he would
rest the case.
Mr.. Spruance moved for nOn-suit, on
the ground that as the deeds were made
out in the husbands name, Bridget had
no power to borrow money on the
property, and if she did, it could not be
recovered. That while married woman
can hold property in her own right, she
cannot place a claim on that of her
husband
Mr.. Spruance spoke for some time,
and Mr.. Bird in reply said that it was
customary in cases where parties had
not justice on their side, to resort to
| technical means to accomplish their
ends. He c6nt6utieti that N the money
was borrowed for the purpose of buy
ing this property, and had been inves-
ted in the house, they must look to the
house for its payment. The fact that
the deed was made TO Patrick Maloney
| could not be set up as a bar to the pay
ment of this money. The property was
decided to Bridget Maloney in 1880, and
should by right and justice have been
band. Mr.. Bird argued for some time,
and was followed bv Mr.. Spruance,
who pressed his motion for a non-sllit.
When Mr.. Spruance concluded the
Court, without rendering IA decision on
the motion for non suit, ordered Mr..
Bird to proceed with his argument to
the jury, and Walter S. Hayes, Esq !,
addressed the jury for the plaintiff.
He spoke about twenty minutes, ard
fully reviewed the evidence that had
been presented. Mr.. Spruance spoke
for the defendant, and denied that any
evidence had been produced to show
that Mrs. Dempsey had ever loaned
Bridget Maloney this money. He had
spoken but few minutes when he
stopped for moment, and after speak
ins to Mr.. Bird, that gentleman an
nounced that they were willing To ac.
cept IL compromise verdict of $500.
The jury being instructed by the Court
rendered a verdict for that amount for
the plaintiff, aud thus unexpectedly
terminated case that promised to con-
Sulne several hours more of the Court
time.
George Burton and Samuel Fisher,
both colored, convicted of the larceny Of
chickens from John G. Biddle, were
sentenced to pay the costs of prosecu-
tion, $34 restitution money, undergo an
imprisonment of one month, and on
Saturday next receive ten lashes each.
AT $50 O'clock the jurors were dis
charged uItil Thursday morning, and
to-day set apart fer hearing argument
on demurrers and filing exceptions. A
iew minutes before i o'clock Court ad-
jOurned until 10 o'clock this morning.

The Pope's Circular.
ROME, May 15.-The Pope's circular
the Irish Riahnna aAYR.

ROME, May 1.-THE Pope's circular
TO the Irish Bishops says:
Whatever Mr.. Parnell's object may
be, his followers have often adopted a
course openly against the rules Of the
POpe's letter TO Cardinal McCabe and
the instructions sent to the Bishops,
which were accepted at their recent
meeting in Dublin. While it IL lSpxful
for the Ifish "a, seek f1AAress' for their
grievances and to stfike for their
rights, they should at TIM same time
seek Gods justice and Mhenber the
wickednes . of illegal means in further
ing even just cause. 1t is the duty Of
the clergy to curb the excited feelings
of the people and to urge justice and
moderation.
The clergy are not permitted to de-
part from these rules aId join and
promote movements inconsistent with
them. Collections TO relieve distress
are permitted, but subscriptions to in
flame popular passions are condemned.
The clergy must hold alOof when it is
plain that by such movements hatred
and dissensiOn are aroused or distin
guished persons insulted, and when
crimes and murders go uncensured
and when patriotism is measured by
the amount subscribed for, the people
are thereby intimidated. Therefore the
Parnell fund is disapproved and no
clergyman should recommend suhscrip-
tions thereto or promote it.
1t is stated that Archbishop Croke, on
hi~ return from Ireland, will pay = visit
to Cardinal McCabe, and that the latter
will come here to confer with the Pope
AZ soon as his health will permit him to
undertake the journey.

In February brutal assault was COM

Greers, town fourteen miles from

white man, answered the general de-
scription of the criminal, and had been
seen in the neighborhood Of the crime
on the day of its commission. A squad
of the citizens took Keller to Greers,
where a crowd gathered to lynch him.
The young woman positively declared
that he was the wrong man, and he
was released.
Subsequently he brought suit fordam-
ages against the men of the party that
arrested him, and the case was recently
tried. During the trial the defendants
introduced such strong circumstantial
evidence of Keller's guilt-discovered
in the effort to justify the arrest-and
the victim of the assault gave such un-
certain testimony that Keller not only
lost his case, but was on Friday arrest
ed for the crime by officers of the law
He was committed to Jail OF the evil
dence brought forward in the civil suit
to await trial for the assault, which is a
capital offence in the State, and it il
not improbable that his suit for dam
ages may result in his being hanged.
