PRINoEss AENK, Nd, March 20 The
Rev. James NICK. Brewngson, who until
the Last session Of the Wilmington Con.
ference OF the N. &. Church, held at Snow
Hill, was the junior minister Of the
Princess Anne circuit, brought an action
OF slAnder to-day in the circuit court OF
Somerset county sgAinst his senior, the
minister in charge, the Rev. W. &. Tom.
kinson. The circumstances which gave
rise to the suit, as near es can be asoer-
tanned, are as follows During Messrs.
Tomkinson and Brewington's pastoral
services on this circuit together Mr.. Tom
kipson preferred certain criminal charges
agi lst Mr.. Brewinston. The friends of
the latter from among his church mem
bsrship took up his defense, acquitted
him Of the charges, vlndicAted his char
aeter and brought counter charges
against Tomkinson for lying and
other imprudent conduct unbecom-
ing minister. The conference,
the proceedings Of which were
published in the Sun, cleared Mr..
Tomkinson Of the serious part Of the
charge, lying, and assigned him another
appointment. Mr.. Brewington, on the
contrary, failed to pass the examination
for admission to the conference. This
failure he attributes to she talk which
had been going on about him, and he
therefore seeks damages and vindioAtion
in court Of different jurisdiction. The
case has excited much sensation here,
where the nature Of the old fsud 10 I'M
derstood. Messrs. Crisield, Page and
Dashisll are counsel for Brewinston.

half the actual population. Had the
