4 Suit Against the Mlddletons.

Mcssrs Crittenden S Mackcy and A. NJ.
Muckey, as solicitors for John !. Bcrrct and
4 hcodorc Il. Moodey, have fled II bill in
equity against Daniel W. Middleton, $. L. Mid
dlcton, Julia Middleton, Enos a. Skillman and
Alice, his wife, Ann Van Dyke, and James II.
McKcnncy, clerk of the supreme court of the
United States. The bill sets forth that the
complainants are judgment creditors OF Mid
dlcton Il Co. to the amount of 81, 900; that Dan
icl W. Middleton. ST., left at his death to his
heirs-at-law, d. w. Middleton, Julia Middle
ton, and Alice Skillman real estate at the
assessed value of about $4,000, but the real
value of which was much larger: that on Jan
Z, 1881, the last named defendants undertook
TO make partition among themselves and
Miss Van Dyke of this real estate
The bill alleges that Miss Van Dyke Is not
an heir-at- law of Daniel Middleton, ST., and
that so fur as any cOnvcyances were made to
her by u. W. Middleton they were voluntary
rs against his creditors; that complainants
estimate that the legal title of d. w. Middle.
ton to at least $4,000 worth of real estate was
thus conveyed TO Miss Van Dyke.
The bill seeks to subject this property to the
lien of their judgments. A conveyance by
ID. W. Middleton to Julia Middleton of all hi,
interest in the family residence is also ut
tucked, and the conveyance to James III. Nc.
Kcnncy Is alleged to be voluntary and void
against the creditors of ID. W. Middleton so fol
as II undertakes to convey more than Si,UOC
worth of property. The bill alleging that the
debt attempted TO be paid was the debt o
Middleton, the elder for which all the heirs
were liable to contribute.

A Friends Wife Can Testify.


In the criminal court yesterday novel
point was raised. George Burroughs and Fred
erick King were on trial on the charge of
breaking into the house Of George McNair on
the night of the 2oth of last April, and steal
ing his wifc's dresses and diamond bracelet,
The accused We're both married men, and
their defense was that of an ulibi. Mr.. Mackey,
their counsel, offered the wife of Burroughs us
n witness in the case of King and the wife of
King in the case OF Burroughs.
The government objected to the admission
of the testimony on the ground that the de-
PENDANTS were Jointly indicted, and the tcsti
mony applied to both, and the statute made
| the testimony OF awife incompetent as to a
| husband.
Judge Wyle said that IL It was a case OF con
| spiracy there would be no doubt of the incom
potency of the evidence offered, but in the cast
| before the court he should admit the tcsti
| mony. The wives We're then called in turn
and each testified for the. friend of her hus
| band. The trial was not concluded when the
