Synopsis of Gases Appearing on the Docket and List of the Grand

The fall term of the Circuit Court .convenes at Batesville next Monday, and the docket is an unusually heavy one. The criminal docket, however, is lighter than usual, there being only S4 cases in all, eight felonies and 76 misdemeanors.
 The felonies are: Don. J. Casey, embezzlement: Lee Musick, seduction; Alfred Hogan, seduction:. Will Mag ness, (coD murder in first degree: Riley Sherrill, (col., carnal abuse: F. l.. Kinkaid, embezzlement; Lewis Pearcy, removing property under lien; and Calvin Chastain, perjury.
 The misdemeanors consist of 36 vio- lations of the liquor law; two disturb ing the peace: five disturbing public worship; six breach of peace; eight carrying pistol: two malicious mis- chief: one against the railroad com pany for failing to sound whistle or ring a bell; one carrying knucks: one non-feasance in office: four gaming: one resisting an officer: one unlawful seining; one practising dentistry with out license; one contempt of court, and one breaking the sabbath.
 The following parties are under bond or lH ing in jail awaiting an in- vestigation, for the following offenses: :: Dick Bailey, grand larceny: R. B. INnnAvro.I Fol ,,l, Emma Minard, removing mortgaged property: Billie Long, burglary: J. W. Miller, islander: John Adams, embezzlement; Barrett Morrow. seduc- ton; Red SherriH, (col.,) carnal abuse: and Frank Helms, murder in the first degree. There are also five inquisitions reported for investigation by the Grand Jury, other than that upon the body of Mrs. Sarah Helms in which the Coroner's Jury. charged her husband with the crime The five above mentioned seem to be of purely known causes and will doubtless be passed without much investigation.
 The civil docket is almost twice as large as usual, there being aS cases in all to be disposed of at this term. Thirty-nine of the above cases are against the railroad company, and range in amounts from $6.50 to Sl1.- 925.0o, and aggregate over S69, ,000.00. Doubtless less than half of this num- Der of cases will be disposed of at this term. and. as a rule, the amounts ob- tained in judgments do not come up to one-third the amount sued for.
 The first three days of the court are devoted to misdemeanors, the next three days are devoted to felonies, and the second week is devoted to civil cases, the first three days thereof be- ing devoted to the cases against the railroads.
