| Court Notes.
Yesterday morning Rev. Z. George Bid
die, pastor of Zion (African) church. &C
companied by his counsel, ex-Judge
Joseph Sheldon, called on Attorney
Kleiner and asked that he as q justice Of
the peace administer the poor debtors
oath. There being no opposition the Rev
Mr.. Biddle swore that he had 81 and II
thus supposed to be free from all process
that may be pending against him.
The object of the proceeding ia to avoid
being arrested and sent to jail on the exc
cution taken out against him by Attorney
J. Birney futile in behalf of his client
Edgar 81. Martin, in fraud suit in which
Martin was awarded $11s. The Rev. Mr.
Biddle engaged the plaintiffs steamer TO,
an excursion last summer and q eontro
vsrsy arose over the payment of the bill
which resulted in the suit.
It seems that Attorney futile or Mr..
Martin were neither of them notified of the
proceeding, and the oath, therefore, has
no legal value.
Deputy Sheriff Pond has attached the
property of DR.. Paul 8. Robinson on State
