much excited, and claimed that her
brother, Jesse Jones, had committed an
assault aud battery on her and also on
her mother. A warrant was issued, the
pugnaci0us Jesse arrested, and last

Cummins.
Emma and her mother both testified
to the fact Of the assault, and while the
first named was giving her testimony
the Judge asked her II Jesse was
her brother, when she replied that he
was not, a. her mother had married
again after he was born, and Jesse was
child by that marriage. Jesse did not
seem TO relish this, and said be was her
brother, but she did not want to own
him, because he was blacker than she
was. He made q powerful appeal to be
released, and claimed that he was en-
ployed on an oyster dredger, but the
