The interest of one partner in the assets of the partnership most bo pnrsuod by a gar nishment against the firm, and the Sheriff was not guilty of a contempt in receiving the affi davit of illegality and tho claim, and, and stay ing the proceedings.

Jadgment roversod. It. T. Watts, John T. Clark, for plaintiff in error. Beall & Tucker, Ingraham A Crawford, for defendants. B. O. Kraton, administrator, vs. Jno. B. Mul ligan. Attachment, from Early. Warworn, J.—This was an notion brought by tho plaintiff against tho dofendant on a common law award. From tho written submission of the matters in controversy between the parties it is doubtful whether any other matters were submitted to the consideration of the arbitrators and decided by them than the validity of the sale of tho plantation, and stock thereor, and the services of the plaintiff as agent of tho de fendant prior to tho salo. The award of the arbitrators is, that the sale beset aside and that it is fair and equitable that the defendant should retain tho property sold by him to the plaintiff, and that the defendant should pay to tho plain tiff tho sum of $1,800. On tbo trial of tbo cose it appeared that the plaintiff was in pos session of the property as the agent of tho de fendant, at the time of tho pretended sale there of. The defendant offered to prove that the plaintiff had not complied with the terms of the award in turning over the property which was in his possession as the agent of the defen&nt, and which he claimed under the pretended sale, which evidence, so offered, was rejected by the court. Tho jury found a verdict for the plain tiff nrdor the charge of the court as to the eon- clusivenoss of tho award, and a motion for a new' trial was overruled, and the defendant ex cepted. _ Held, That the award was conclusive as to ail matters submitted to the arbitrators, but as it is doubtful from tho terms of the submission whether certain matters were submitted and passed upon by the arbitrators, the court should have admitted the evidonoe as to the facts of the case and then have charged the jury as to the law applicable thereto: Held also, That it was oom potent for tho de fendant to have shown on the trial, that the plaintiff had not complied with the terms of the award in tnrning over to the defendant all the property which he pretended to have purchased, and which tho award authorized the defendant to retain ; inasmuch as that would not have im peached the award, but would merely have shown a non-compliance therewith on the port of the plaintiff. Judgment reversed. J. E. Bowers, B. H. Clark, for plaintiff in error. Sims A Crawford, Hood A Kiddoo, for de fendant hands of a sheriff, he may bo ruled in tho Sn perior Court for hia neglect of duly in failing to erectile the same. Judgment reversed. Jas.

The Court r£ fused to grant the rule against the Sheriff on the ground that the conrt had no jurisdiction to rule tlia Sheriff on such claims. Held, That under the Constitution, the Sudo- rior Court has concurrent jurisdiction with the Justices’ Courts in all civil oases where the amount of th6 debt claimed is less than m. hundred dollars: Held, also, That under the provisions of the Act of 1S70, when an execution has been issned by a Justice of the Peace to enforces factor,s lien for a sum less than one hundred dollars the same may i>e levied by any sheriff of this StAte, or bailiff, on the property of the defend ant subject to such lien, and when placed in the Death to Rats, Roaches, Bed Bugs, etc. Never fai ling.
