IN THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Mr.. Duvall Most Vacate The Store
Mr.. Melvin Wins The
SUIT Case.

In tile Circuit Court this morning
before Associate Judges Revell and
Thomas, the ejectment suit case of
George T. Melvin VS.. Joseph w.
Duyall for possession of premises, cor
ner Main street and Church Circle,
now occupied by Mr.. Duvall as a
grocery store, was heard before a jury,
and verdict given in favor of Mr..
Melvin.
Mr.. Duvall has occupied the premi-
SEES for number of years as a family
grocery store, and he was given notice
by Mr.. Melvin some months ago to-
vacate the premises, which he refused
TO do. Mr.. Melvin then sued out a
writ of ejectment and the case was
argued this morning before the Court
and jury with the above result 1t is
said the premises are wanted for the
new banking and trust companyIthat it
is proposed to start here shortly, and
for which q charter was granted at
the last Legislature. The location is
a most desirable one for almost any
business.
Henry Meyers, who was confined in
Jail on the charge of embezzlement,
the grand jury failed to find an indlct-
ment against him for want of evidence,
and the Court ordered the man dis
charged, and he was dismissed by the
Sheriff this morning. His father. an
aged man, was in Court at the time,
said he intended taking his son to
Charles county, where he had employ
ment for him, when he was dismissed.
Some one remarked that that was
worse than going to the Penitentiary.
Young Meyers had been employed BY
Irving l.. Hall, of the Third district,
to sell charcoal and failed to turn over
the money. hence his arrest and COM
mitment to Jail for Court.
The grand jury, so far, has examin-
ed 100 witnesses and brought in seven
teen indictments and found twelve
true bills. At 10 O'Clock Court ad-
journed until 10 O'Clock Monday.

ed some little difficulty. Mr.. Basil is
acting for his son, Mr.. Frank Basil,

Annapolis to purchase calf and was
on his way home when he attempted
to cross q stream. After getting some
distance he found the bridge had been

was Obliged to straddle the horse, I'M
harness it and leave the wagon and
