WEsTMEATH.

In the c1ancery court. Dublin, on Janu-
|ary 49, before the Vice Chancellor, case
was heard of Nally VS.. Kelly The plain
tiff, Edward Nally, of 'Empor, near Bal
linaeargy, in the county of Westneath,
suing as executor of his deceased brother,
Brian Nally, sought declaration that
certain deposit receipt for $3.50 in the Mul-
Finger Branch of the Ulster Bank and a
sllln OF ETA in notes formed part OF the
assets of the: deceased. The defendants
were Rev. Simon Kelly, ONE Of the priests
Of the parrish, and the Ulster Bank. and
the bank had paid the money into court.
Brian Nally died OIL November. IS, 1894,
having previously on the 18th day OF May
1894, made will, to which he added "a CO.
dicil on the Both day of the same month,
by which he appointed the plaintiff and
Patrick Hanlon his executors, having a
deposit receipt for $3.50 in bank and also
ETA in notes in hands, which he gave to
Father Kelly for safe keeping, and to be
accounted for to him or his executors.
This money the plaintiff now claimed, the
other executors refusing to act. Father
Kelly's defense was that, previous to the
18th of September, 1894, the $3.50 was
lodged on a deposit receipt in the sole
name CT Brian Nally, and that, when de-
fendant's name was put into the deposit
receipt it was on the understanding that,
on the death of Brian Nally, defendant
should stand possessed of the amount of
the receipt in trust, to retain EGO for mass
es, to erect a monument over the deceased,
and to apply the balance in charities at his
discretion. AS to the ETA, the defendant
said that on the 23d Of November, 1894,
the deceased, being i'm his last illness,
handed over that sum to him, on the UNI
'derstanding that EGO of it was to go to a
niece of deceased, and the balance to the
defendant for his own use. The will left
three farms belonging to deceased to his
brother, the plaintiff, subject to pay
ment of f2O0 to deceased's daughter Mary,
and to the payment of any debts that were
due on the farms. He also left his broth
er all his furniture and effects. except
car and harness. He left f210 to his
nephew. Rev. Father Cahill; f200 to a sis
ter, legacies of f10O and ESQ to relatives,
ESQ for masses for the repose of his soul,
ESQ for charity in the parish, and a be-
quest to the friaTs Of a monestary at Null
tifarnham. The case was adjourned for
further hearing.

WASHINGTON. March 26.--While the

the provision in the bill for the erection of
residences on the grounds Of the naval OBJ
scrvatoTy. Those buildings, he said, We're

years as an officer of the navy. defended
the attainmcnts of these naval officers, and

MRS. DAVIDSON IS ACQUITTED
For the Same Reason That the Sailo;
Could Not Get n Peace Warrant

TOT tte same Reason That the sailor
Could Not Get n Peace Warrant.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-Mrs. Mary
a. Davidson was acquitted after q brief
trial yesterday of the charge of having ex-
tor,ed 500 from Rev. DR.. G. o. Brown.
The clergyman and the police detective
(who testified merely to the arrest of Mrs.
Dayidsonl were the only witnesses for
the prosecution, and the defense presented
no evidence. DIR. Brown on the stand re-
pcatcd the story of how Mrs. Davidson
had told he hai been discovered in LA
son with Miss OverInan, and of how, after
several interviews, he paid the woman
$780, taking her receipt therefor. In or.
der To secure a conviction it was necessary
to pay the money through fear.
But the minister was like the sailor who
on applying for a peace warrant was re-
quirCi to swear he was afraid of the other
fellow. This Jack refused to do. de-
Clariny he wasn't afraid of anybody on
earth. SoSwith the minister. He would
not admit that he was afraid OF any body,
although the question was asked in half u
dozen forms by his counsel and by the
court. He said his sole object in paying
the money was To enable him to bring
Mrs Davidson and her mythical principal
to justice. Browns attorney declined to
ask the jury To convict on such testimony,
and the court had no recourse but to in
struct the jury to acquit. This they did
without leaving their seats.
