Miss Edna Holloway gave delightful

and most convenient in our town.
Lots ofou young people were out in
their new cutters on Tuesday last, and the

enough.
Our old friend. Wash Bennett, was in
town last Thursday.
DIR. King, the celebrated street banjoist

THE CoUPox-CRUsWER CASES.
one Decided Against the State. Mine
for Her.

The entire time of the City Circuit
Court was consumed yesterday in the
trial of suits brought by the Common
wealth. under what is known as the
coupon. crusher," against persons who
had rendered coupons for the payment
of their tax-bills The first one taken
up was that of Joseph a. King, which
had been partially tried.
When this case was pending one week
AGO Yesterday counsel for defence sought
70 Law the foundation for the introduce
ton of secondary or expert testimony to
prove the genuineness of the coupons.
In former case-the first one tried IN
this court-Judge Wexford declined to
allow such evidence. Yesterday he read
an opinion allowing such testimony in
this and like cases. In the former case
the coupons were rendered after the
passage of this act, and the Court held
that the bonds should be produced as
contemplated by the law; in the
present instance the coupons were
rendered before tho enactment OF the
statute, and the Court, in a carefully pre-
pared opinion, held that the principle
does not apply, as the taxpayer might
have innocently purchased what were
supposed to be genuine coupons OF the
State without having any idea from what
bond thew were taken. The trial of this
suit resulted in verdict for the de-
PENDANT. Mr.. Pendleton, representing
the prosecution, made a motion to set
aside the verdict, which was Overruled.
He was given time in which to file bills
of exception.
Nine other cases were tried. in all OF
which verdicts were returned and judg-
ments, with costs, rendered in favor OF
| the State.
