Motion For New Trial Refused.

Judge r. S. Sease, of Spartanburg
who presided over the last clarendon
court, and before whom the case Of A.
J. Briggs and others against James N.
caldwell and Others was tried to prove
the will OF the late Mrs. E, NJ. Briggs
in solemn form. and which case re-
suited in verdict of the jury declar.
ing against the validity of the will,
has sent down bis order refusing the
motion for new trial.
It is presumed that this case involv-
ing so much will be appealed to the
supreme court. There is more interest
taken in this case than any that has
heen before tho courts OF this county
in many years. A considerable amount
of property is involved, and too, it has
been before the court for some time
aud the public would like to know
jus. how it will be finally determined.
The matter was first heard by the
Judge of Probate, who decided against
the will, then it went to the court OF
common pleas aud on the question OF
having it heard by jury it went to
the supreme court, which tribunal
decided the case should be heard by a
Jury 10 determine the questions OF
fact. The first jury failed to agree,
aud mistrial was ordered, at the last
term q jury decided against the will.
