While quoting the warrant sworn
out against Mr.. Lee Roper last week
we got il mixed with what Magistrate
Harris was telling us Mr.. Lesley
would swear to and would try to
prove, hence, the statement was
little misleading. The warrant
charges that Mr.. Roper "did wilfulIy,
maliciously, without just cause, un.
mercifully whip one Matte Lesley,
and did thereby commit the offense
of assault and battery of a high and
aggravated nature" We thought
the occuranoe such an unusual ono
that we gave what we could of the
case. The preliminary is set for
Thursday. In justice to Mr.. Roper
we make the above correction.
