A Novel Case.

Trial Justice O. T. Calhoun had a
novel a s before him on yesterday, the
points involved in which deserve the ut,
tention Of our legislators.
One Henry Rykard, colored, had been
indicted for ~disposing of goods under
lien. Between the issuing OF the war
rant and tho trial Of the CT y, the de-
PENDANT gave other security :, the pros,
ecutor for the payment Of the debt
The prosecutor then agreed to drop the
case against him. Yesterday vas the
day appointed for the trial, and the
county had been put to considerable ex-
pense in the way Of summonsing wit
nesses, &c. When the case was called
the prosecutor, by his attorney, an
nounced that he wished to discontinue
the case. The Trial Justice had some
doubt as to whether he had then the
right to discontinue. and after consult
ing authorities ruled that he had no dis
erection in the matter, but to save the
county the expenses Of the Case, said he
would discontinue it, provided the pros
ecutor would pay the costs.
This was refused, the Prosecutors
Attorney contending that he represented
the State, and had the right to say
whether the case was one fol trial or not.
The Trial Justice held that he too was
the guardian of the States interests and
it was his business to see that neither
State nor county suffered in his court.
He called the case, and the, prosecutor
was put upon the stand. The Prose.
cutting Attorney refused to ask any ques-
tons material to the case, when the
Trial Justice took the examination in
hand himself.
The case finally went off on a techni-
cality, the prosecutor not having the
mortgage itself with him, and the county
was thrown in the costs.
We say this matter deserves the atten-
ton of our legislators. Here the whole
machinery Of the Criminal Court had
been brought into action merely to en-
able the prosecutor to collect a debt
and after the securing Of the debt, the
case was dropped and the county made
to pay for it. What the remedy is our
legislators will have to determine.

A Nuisance.

We would call the attention of the
Town Council to a growing nuisance, viz:
the erection on the sidewalks of stands
fertile sale of apples, groobers, &c. Ere
quently the sidewalks are crowded with
noisy negroes, and passage along them
is impossible. If the parties have any
right Mt all to sell these articles, they
should be made to take their stands off
the pavements. We hope our city fathers
will look after this matter.
