The DALEY MATTER.
THIS TINE THE COURT TAKES Ak
ACTIVE HAND
AND oRIrIcIsEs AN ATTORNEY ron
DEMANDING HIS JUST RIGHTS
ALLOWED HIM IN Law.


ALLOWED HIM hY LAW.
One Of the most novel methods Of adj
ministering justice IS perhaps to Do
found in Berkeley County to-day.
Even an attorney can no longer en-
JOY his rights and privileges for d
client, that the law has given him from
time immemorial. For some time past,
at the personalrequests Of not less than
a hundred good, peaceable, law-abid-
ing and respectable citizens ~of this
community, THE WORLD has been try
ing to develop matters and publish the
full particulars concerning the death
Of James Daley, even at its own ex-
peuse, in order to give the public, and
its supporters especially, the facts that
they might know the wholc truth. AS a
public journal THE WoRLD's columns
are always open for such matters, and
especially to any one who may think
themselves wronged. Asyet, never to
our knowledge have we tried to will
fully or maliciously stir up strife. We
say further, and invite contradiction
from any source. that we have never
used The World in anyway that has
deceived the public, or unjustly show
ed up an individual. We defy anyone
to produce a single instance.
Instead we have used, and propose
to so continue while in control, this pa
perrin any legitimate way that will ex-
pose fraud, rascality or properly bone
At this community and our patrons
generally. We want an equal and just
administration Of affairs, and mean to
have it. Let the one come to the
front who dares deny such privilege,
and We think there would still b.
enough patriotic citizens left 10 obliter.
ate him from the face o. the earth
and we for one would assist in doing
so.
In working mp the Daley matter W.
have no intention whatever Of censur.
ling any particular individual only
with view Of enlightening the pub.
lie and assisting the helpless. If per.

they fear 2 If one is not implicated in
any wrong doing, what need they b.

lions why conceal matters that may
throw light on the subject and save
unjust criticism and censure. Thu
WORLD, let it be understood, cannot
be subsidized, and Is always ready to
assist the public in legitimate way,
But, we claimed from the start, that
the Daley matter was an offense
against the public peaceone that
every good citizen was interested in
then. why not let the people know the
facts Who will dare say The WoREI
is doing wrong in working up such .

Since working up this matter ",
found an important paper that woult
furnish some information was the. in
dictment found at the last term o
Court against Cornelius Veney. Are
