Newman charged Hodge with swearing falsely at the last Term of the Circuit Court. The latter brought suit for slander, when the defendant filed a plea of justification, which he sustained before a jury, obtaining judgment for costs.The third was a divorce case — Kennedy vs. Kennedy — the husband suing. In this case — though a separation had taken place for good and sufficient reasons — the application for divorce was made from bad motives, and resulted disastrously, as a consequence, to the p'arty applying. The plaintiff trumpeu up quite a formidable list of charges, and attempted to sustain them by the testimony of Ms bhildfenj but the failure was 6ignal and durfiplete upon each and every item, while the opposite side proV’ed- by many disinterested ^ persons that the defendant was the injured 1 part/—grossly arid mbst iniquirously so — in-juried as: a defenceless wife only can be injured by d't^rnnicar and unmanly husband only.— ” j J3tStf vile fdb'hbdri'a recital of the facts, haying no ^ j desirb that th'e character of the plaiiitiff,•adrevealed ori'this trial, shaft b’e borne by him be-yoiid tiilT circle’ of publicity given it bV the trfaftThe divorce was awarded t'o the defendant, together with $1500 00 alimony.Nave for plaintiff—Gregg And NewcombHarvey, for defendant.David Matlock, jr. vs McClain, Hurin, Wifeo'fi, and others—disturbing a religious assembly—was tried yesterday evening.
