(Fortbf Seymour Times]. . , . * •New Faumingtox, May 17.* Dear Doc ;—Your correspondent has but little of interest to report this} week. j1 The motion to quash the affidavit in j the Whitson case of last Tuesday, was i ably urged bv Capt Smith, on the plea j that the.Justice’s seal had been omitted, j Justice Carter ruled, however, that said ‘seal was not indcspensible, and that its j omission did not affect the validity of j the case, But that veteran umpire of i legal technicalities Mr. C. K. New-I • ^J kirk gave it as his opinon that “the law ' makes it obligatory upon a Justice to • have all such documents scaled up tight jand fast, so that there can be no possi-j i bility of their getting lost out of the] | wrapper. Justice Carter thought that j the gentleman’s ideas of an official seal I “were as clear as mud. The Galamus;! Cart,—Capt Parsley.—with dates to the j 116th insL, arrived here to day from ;tbe vicinity of Azalia and Kcdington.—I Her advices in reference to the wheat I crops in those regions are discouraging. The “fly was still making dreadful havoc among the early sown fields.-— j The same may be said of this vicinity, and the neighborhoods south and west.Our Justice was called upon . to-day | to administer matrimony to a Mr.I Pleasant M. l\ceth, and Miss. Julia Ann Gibbons. Judge Patterson thinks that in this instance our Squire has transcended his jurisdiction, us the parties | wore married in Jennings County.—I But Bob Parsley could sec no iinpro.jprietv in the Squire’s official duties ex- j| tending to the county that gave him his ;■ greatest support in his election.— |Esquire Whitson was on hands to-day,!before Justice Carter. He was arrestedI on n peace warrant last Tuesday, and! the case coin*; to a iurv who could notagree, he cntereu into a rerocogniz-ance to appear to day—the prosecutingwitness (his wife) not appearing he wasdischarged.
