wonderful and novel pursuit whicl re-
suited in the capture of the raiders,
near Chattanooga, has rece. we'd letter from

During the session of court Mt Camilla

and in other particulars, were found in a
stranger stopping in Camilla some few
years ago, calling himself Potter, and NJ.
SHindle and others were so csrtain that he
was the man wanted in Louisiana by a
sheriff there, that he arrested him aad
carried hum to Albany for safe keep
ing, there being at the time no jail at
Camilla, neglectlng to sue out a warrant.
The prisoner was kept incarceratei in the
Albany Jail for four or five days, until the
officer of louisiana came after him, who
failed TO identify him as the man wanted.
He brought, as stated, a suit for damages
for false imorisonment, etc. Judge Pope
and Solicitor Spence were the prosecuting
| attorneys and Bush and Hanse appeared
for he defendant. The jury brought in a
verdict for $500. 1t is rumored that the
plaintiffs attorneys will carry up the case,
being dissatisfied with the amount of dam
age. The defendant has no objection, because
it is believed by counsel that the verdicG,
before another jury, would be less, because
the claimant did not get up an enviable
character, and, on the other hand, it was
proven that the sheriff did nothing mali
ciously.
