FATHER AND SOW



Tears and EmbracesL
Sr- LOUIS, No, Oct 20 Another and
more public interview occurred in the Office
Of circuit attorney between Mr.. Samuel n.
Brooks, of England, and the prisoner who
has heretofore gone By the name of Max
well The scene was . sad ona The old
schoolmaster was seated at table with his
head resting upon his hands As his son
entered the old man arose and took step
forward The prisoners face paled, but
otherwise he exhibited no emotion For q
moment they gazed into each others eyes
with a look of intense SORROW. Almost
mechanically their hands ciasped and in
another moment they were-in leach. others
arms.
The father in vain tried to hide the tears
which fell from his eses; the son, too, wept
bitterly. For moment they stood thus.
then the old man drew back and gazed at
his son intensely. The younger man whis-
pered something unheard by all save the
father and then led his father to seat and
the two were left alone under the care of an
officer

from the Circuit Court of Warren
county Hon. Ralph North, Judge.
Appellant was named as garnishee in
a writ of attachment, upon which the
following return was endorsed, with the
date, over the signature of the sheriff:
Executed this writ by serving a copy
on the within named George w. Fai-
SON."
Judgment by default was entered
against the garnishee on this return.
ARNOLD, j.:
Held, l. A writ of garnishment must
be served as provided by sections 2442
and 2443 of the Code of 1880, which
sections introduce new rule as to ser
vice of this particular kind of process.
If the return had simply been" executed"
with the date and signature of the
officer, under Sl52S of the Code, it would
have been implied that the process had
been served asrequired by law, SO Miss,
35S. Or a return under 22442 of
summoned = as garnishee, manning the
person, would be sufficient. But this
return being special, and setting forth
what the officer did, no presumption is
to be INDUCED that he did anything else.
2. If it be assumed that this return
implies that copy of the writ was de-
iiyered to the garnishee in person, no
provision of the Code renders such SER
vice valid. Constituting sections 1927,
PAP and Pap together, it is held that it
is not sufficient to serve garnishee
merely by copy. Reversed.

From the Chancery Court of Kinds
county, First District Hon. NJ. Dab
ney, Special Chancellor.
Appellant was administrator of the
estate of G. w. Prince, which was
declared insolvent. Appellee as credi-
tor had probated two open accounts
against the estate. On the day fixed
for examination and allowance of claims
the administrator objected generally to
the allowance of these two claims, but
declined to say that he thought the
accounts untrue. The court decided
that in such case the production of the
accounts, itemized and sworn to, emitting
them to probate, was itself sufficient,
unless the administrators or some credi-
tor would dispute the correctness of the
accounts, and the claims were allowed.
CAMPBELL, j.:
Held. That the probate and registry
of the accounts amounted to nothing as
proof of their correctness when objected
to. The Indebtedness should have been
established by competent evidence. Re

the names of the streets on which they
reside, and we have heard strangers ire
quently express surprise that they were
unable, without repeated inquiry: to ascer-
tain the names of some of our most pub
lie streets. Our City Fathers are doing 80
much for street improvement we venture
to ask them to take this matter into favor
able consideration. Let the Board mark
each street-corner, and notify the owners
Of stores and residences of the numbers
they shall place on their doors, or other
suitable place, and require the same to be
done within a specified time. Unless we
greatly mistake the spirit of local pride
and progress now prevailing, such action
oil the Board would be heartily approved.
