SAVANNAH, July 29, 1885.
Some two or three weeks ago there appear
ed IN the columns of the NEWS several con-
trOyersial communications by Mr.. Gustav
heisllng and myself in reference to my right,
as lessee of the Vernon Shell Road, to charge
toll on that portion of Bull street extending
from Anderson to Twelfth street. This con-
troversy was ended by my stating that the
decision of Mr.. Molina was not final, but that
the question was undergoing judicial Investi-
cation in the Superior Court, and would
shortly be decided
The following is a copy of the decision rem
dered by Judge Adams, and, / think, eff
fectually puts an end to the question at issue
between Mr.. Keisllng and myself, and aflirms
my right, as lessee, to collect the toll, as
claimed. Respectfully,

EXTRAORDINARY SEMI-ANNUAI
DRAWING

June 10, 1885, under the personal supervision an
management OF Gen. q. Il. BsAUREG ARD, OF
, 1885-11-14
a Quaint Old English Ceremony

At Chingford, in Epping Forest, there
vas some hundred years ago an estate
called Brindwoods, which had originally
belonged to the rector of the parish,
and had been given to another person
on condition that he and his successors
did homage to the rector. Every time
the property changed owners the new
proprietor, with his wife, man-servant
and maid-servant, each riding on horse
back, had to go to the rectory.
The master took a horn with him and
carried a hawk on his fist, while the
man-servant had a greyhound, to the
use of both of which the rector was en-
titled all that day if he desired to go
hawking. ON arrival at the parson .
age the gentleman blew three blasts on
his horn to let the rector know of his
Of his arrival. The rector then gave
him a chicken for the hawk, n peck of
oats for the horse, and a loaf for the
greyhound. All then dined together,
and when the master started home he
again blew three blasts on his horn.
This quaint ceremony has, however,
long been in disuse.
