a oueer Court necision.

A peculiar case disposed of at Cald
well court was that of a man who had
been tried by the mayor of Lenoir for
violation of town ordinance and had
pleaded guilty. The mayor fined him
more than he wanted to pay, and he
appealed, and in the superior court the
jury acquitted him of the charge to
which he had pleaded guilty in the
mayors court. This strikes us as some
thing new under the sun in the way OF
criminal procedure. Marion On. c.

up on the deck ready for action. This
fact shows that while the vessel was in
