 'The case of Samuel Lide against the State has not been submitted for de- cision to the Supreme Court" said Col. R F. IiRon, Clerk of the Court, yester- day. "The article in Sundays Advertiser created the impression that the case had long been pending for a decision. As it
 has not been submitted for decision, 1t Is not now pending. The appeal in this case was filed in November, 1900 In De- cember a writ of certiorart was granted at the instance of the appellants and at the next call of the division in May, on motion of the appellant the case was continued. The case will be called again in the Supreme Court during the call of the Third Division next month, at which time I presume. it will be submitted for decision. No order of submission has as yet been entered in the case and conse- quently 1t Is not pending for decision"
