CALLED THE PREACHER A LIAR.
And the Minister Knocked Him Down
in the Justices Office.

There was a scene in Justice Evans court on
street yesterday which was somewhat out of
the regular order. There was a civil suit tried
between William A. Stewart, colored real es-
tate dealer, and Rev. Albert Lott, a colored
minister, who is a clerk in the Pension Office.
The suit grew out of a real estate transaction
between the parties named and was brought
by Stewart against Lott. The amount involved
was about 800
STEWARDS IMPRUDENT REMARK.
Justice Evans heard the evidence and passed
on the legal objections as they were raised by
Lawyer Hewlett, who appeared for the de-
PENDANT, and by the complainant Stew
art, who plead his own cause. MIR. Hew-
let's client made frst-class showing,
and the court about to give
judgment in his favor when Stewart arose and
said that he wished TO withdraw the case and
bring it again, and gave his reason because
see that ne Uott) has come ready to swear to
anything"
You ought not to say that" interrupted
LAWYER Hewlett, Mr.. Lott is a preacher and
he told the truth"
Preacher" retorted Stewart, she's liza T. "
KNOCK DOWN.
Even il Mr.. Lott was preacher he would
not swallow that and in less time than it takes
to tell 1t blow from his fist landed the real
estate dealer on the floor of the magistrate
court.
Lawyer Hewlett grabbed his client and the
judge seized Mr.. Stewart to prevent further
hostillties.
Mr.. Stewart called, Fine him IS for con-
tempt" but the justice declined to do it in the
face of such provocation for the blow, and
Stewart saying, ''You won't fine him, renewed
the fight by striking the minister on the
shoulder. The magistrate finally permitted
the suit to be withdrawn.
