CAPTAIN BUNTING TOO

Gave Jurors Five Dollars Each

ONANCOCK, VA. February 21.--A
special term of Acccomac Court has been
in session several days. Among the
causes tried was that of Denaard Merritt
against John w. Bunting, involving u
lot of land on Assateague island. the
ownership of which carries valuable
oyster planting grounds. The grounds
are on TOMS Cove. Immediately on the
Atlantic, and are among the most profit
able in this section. After trial of two
days the Jury gave verdict in favor of
Captain Bunting and were discharged.
In leaving the courthouse the captain,
gratified at his success offered each Juror
a five dollar hill. and ten of them ;c-
cepted the present When adjournment
was had Judge Blackburn heard of what
had been done and on reassembing of
court issued rule against Captain Bunt-
ing and the Jurors to appear before him
the first day of the next term.
The Judge declined to set the verdict
aside at this time. but will thoroughly in
vestigate the matter. 1t is the first in
stance of the kind in the history of the
county and has caused general comment
and regret.
Few, If any think Captain Bunting In
tended the public tender of the money
as n bride or that either of the Jurors
accepted 1t as such. They are all mon
OF good standing and the offer seemed
to have been made from happiness and
exaltation at the verdict.
There are several other suits for adj
Joining lands pending against Captain
