r II UNDREDS OF our custom
ers, remembering OUR
GREAT QUARTER OFF
CASH BARGAIN SALE during the
Holidays for tho past few years
have repeatedly asked US If we
would give them the same oppor-
tunity to buy bargains this season.
We have decided to again throw
profits to the four winds, comply
with the request of our patrons,
and inaugurate a sale that for
good round bargains will again
excite the wonder and surprise of
our competitors and the adnira-
ton Of our customers. While we
slaughter thousands and thous-
ands OF dollars worth of goods in
which there is not one cent profit
to US, the magnitude and daring
of such a sale cannot but advertise
and bring US before generous
public in a manner that they will
not soon forget. Eear in mind
that this sale only lasts until Dec
IS. Come early and make your
selections. One-quarter off on
everything excepting On E. e w.

precedent In one case Judge Wales. then
one of the counsel in a case, was allowed
this privilege. In another case Chief JUS
tice Gilpin allowed an attorney to testify
when the latter knew of n demand being
made for money. Judge Cullen was one of
the attorneys in this case The general rule
of this court WAS to exclude the testimony
of attorneys. The court eventually allowed
Mr.. Chandler to testify under a decision
handed down by Chief Justice Gilpin.
Mr.. Chandler then stated that he had
called upon Constable Porter and demanded
the release of Mr.. Morrow's COW, which
porter declined to do. The plaintiff then
rested.
Mr. Hlles arose and asked for non
suit on the ground that the defendants had
not been mentioned in the case, and it
had not been proven that the property was
taken in New Castle county,
Mr.. Chandler contended that these
things had already been proven. At Judge
Cnllcns request Stenographcr llardesty
read the evidence given by Morrow.
Mr.. llilles admitted that it had been
proven that the property seized was in
thrlstiana hundred but held that the de-
PENDANTS had not been connected with the
case.
Judge Cullen, in delivering the decision
Of the court, said that the detention of the
goods was the gist Of the offence in Il case
OF replevln. There was no evidence thai
the goods were detained by the defendants
The plaintiff said he did not know who
took the property, and il was not the fault
of counsel for the plaintiff that that was so.
The court accordingly granted the non-
suit, which Mr.. Chandler eventually &C.
cepted. Mr.. liilles then asked for jury
OF inqnisition to accept damages in the
case.
At this point the jury in the case of Scy-
mour VS.. Dettrlch filed into court with a
verdict for the defence in the sum of six
cents This carried all the costs with it
and was another victory for Mr., lliles.
At $50 O'Clock a jury was cmTaneled to
try the case Of Gideon Il. Hukili VS.. Will

Martin b. Burris appeared for the plaintiff
and Thomas Davis for the defence. The
claim was for S7S.4 with interest from June
l2th, l5ol. The case was ia progress when
court adjourned until 10 o'clock Thursday
