PETTIS. BASSETT & CO..
A LAND TRADE.
A Transfer that Was Unsatisfactory to One
of the Interested Parties.

The story of Justinian Halls land trade with
Richard Haworth is told in the complaint for
redress fled in the Su~perior.Courtiby the former,
yesterday. Hall owned a lot in this city, and
Haworth, who lives in Rush county, said he had
some fine Florida land, and would willingly ex-
shangs it for the Hall property. The trade was
sffected, the Indianapolis property going to
Haworth, and the Florida land of eighty-fve
acres, at the mouth Of the St Johns river, to
Hall The latter says that Haworth gave him
q. 600 boot money" 81, 500 of which he raised
by mortgaging the property the complainant
transferred to him. The property he obtained
was, instead Of being cultivated, heavily
fimbered land. It was not of the finest quality
in Florida, and had no beautiful grove adjacent,
where Northern visitors spent their winters. In
stead of having no marsh near, it was surround
cd by . swamp. To make the land at all service
able il wsuld cost at least $50. and perhaps $40
per acre. IT, was thirty miles from Jacksonville,
not fifteen, and altogether, upon these alleged
Misrepresentation, Mr.. Hall claims he has been
damaged to the extent of SO, 900. He asks the
court to compel Haworth to give back the COM
piainanSs property, and receive in return the
FLORIDA land. The complainant also procured a
restraining order from Judge Howe against de-
fendaBt. to prevent him from selling the Indian.
apolis property until hearing for Injunction can
be had, on the 18th inst. Haworth was served
with the order late yesterday afternoon. az he
was about to leave for Rushville.

A DISGRACEFUL EPISODE.
A Convict Who, Though Under Sentence,
Could Not Be Cared For.

Ed. Harvey, colored, who gave Bob Garrett a
nasty wound in the neck with a razor at a
Thanksgiving ball, was tried without jury by
Judge Norton yesterday. He was sentenced TO
the work house for six months, but when the
sheriff that officer refused to receive him.
Sheriff Carter said Harvey did not belong to him,
as the commitment sent him to the work house.
Since the Commissioners have refused the
sheriffs bill for boarding prisoners, which they
claim ought to have gone to the work-house by
their general order issued at the time the insti-
tuition was opened, the relations between him
and the board have gradually become unpleas-
ant. Had they allowed me anything for keep
ing this man Harvey over night I would have
taken charge of him. and delivered him over to
the work house officers tomorrow" said
he, "but they have refused to pay me
even for this slight service. I will not turn any
man over to them without a special order if I
have to board him and a hundred like him for
the rest of my term without pay. I don't say
anything. you know, when the man is sentenced
to the work house. That is all right. but when
the commitment reads to the Jail, he is my
prisoner, unless the commissioners want to give
me a voucher for him and take him out to their
prison."
On the other hand, COMMISSIONS Clinton said
the board offered to pay the sheriff for keeping
Harvey one night, until they could get him out
to the work-house in the patrol wagon. There is
an agreement with the Police Commissioners
that the prisoners should be transferred to the
work house in the patrol wagon, but
it makes only one trip a day, at noon time, with
the city prisoners. AS Harvey was sentenced in
the afternoon, the bailiff and sherif's refusal
to take the prisoners off his hands had to 60 to
the commissioners After a couple of hours
waiting, a work house guard came in and re-
lieved all concerned of the difficulty by making
Harvey walk the two miles to the institution.
While all this was going on the Black Maria,
constructed especially for, this purpose at a cost
of $500, stood in the shop of its maker, with its
bright paint and newness untarnished by use.
The vehicle is paid for, but a team is wanting,
although there is a stable to put it in.

The Mysterious Ballot-Rox.

The bailot-box which was found in the cellar
of briggs & Tarkington's drug store, q few
days ago, was opened last evening, and it was
found that it contained Republican and Demo
cratic presidential electoral tickets of 1876. Most
of them evidently had been thrown in the box
in bulk, but beneath these were found several
small packages of tickets which had been strung
together and bore evidences of having been
folded and voted. At the bottom of the box was
found the poll-books of the first precinct of the
First ward, and it is supposed that it was there
that the ballots were cast. How the box han
pened to be placed in the cellar where it was
found is unknown.

plaintiff has no legal capacity to sue; that there
is a defect of the parties plaintiff, for the reason
that the State of Indiana is not q plaintiff, and
of the parties defendant for the reason that the

est in them, and that the complaints do not
state facts sufficient to constitute q cause for
