A-XTGRJSTA, Friday Morning, November 5, 1875. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Decisions Rendered in Atlanta, (la., November 2, 1875—Hon. Hiram War ner, Chief Justice —Hons. L. E. Bleckley and James Jackson, Judges. [Atlanta Constitution. ! Green, Executor, vs. Akers. Rule from Troupe. WARNER, C. J. This case came before the court be low on an issue formed between C. E. Akers and Fisk, as to who was entitled to the money in the sheriff’s hands, arising from the sale of fifty acres of land, as the property of Samuel Akers. Ou the trial of the issue, the jury un der the charge of the court, found a verdict in favor of C. F. Akers. The case is brought here on a bill of excep tions, alleging error in the charge of the court to the jury, and to the ad mission and rejection of evidence of fered at the trial. It appears from the evidence in the record, that on the Bth of May, 18b6, Samuel Akers executed a mortgage to F. M. Fisk on certain de scribed lands, including the fifty acres, from the sale of which the money in controversy was raised, to secure the payment of certain promissory notes therein described. Pending the rule nisi for the foreclosure of the mortgage which was resisted by Sam uel Akers, the defendant therein, he proposed through his attorneys, in writing, to the attorneys of the plain tiff, for the purpose of settling all the litigation then pending between them, on the following terms, to-wit: “To allow Fisk to take a rule absolute upon the mortgage made to him by Samuel Akers, allowing Frank Akers (meaning O. F. Akers) fifty acres of laud, situ ated in the vicinity of LaGrange, Geor gia, and that said Akers (meaning Samuel Akers) will dismiss his action for words against F. G. Fisk ; and the damage suit upon attachment against F. M. Fisk.” This proposition in writing was agreed to and signed by the attorneys of both parties on the 18th of November, 1868, C. F. Akers being one of them. C. F. Akers was allowed to testify, over the objections of Fisk’s attorneys, “that part of the consideration of the fifty acres of laud in the foregoing agreement was the giving up by him to F. M. Fisk’s at torneys a four hundred dollar draft given by Fisk to his father, on P. Pease, and that the intention of the agreement was to allow him the use of the mortgage or to assign him the lion of the mortgage on the fifty acres of land. To the admission of this testimony, the counsel for Fisk exoepted. Fisk then offered to prove that although Samuel Akers had dismissed his suits at No vember term 1868, that soon after the adjournment of the court, he renewed the litigation by claiming the land when levied on by the mortgage fl. fa., had obtained a homestead on it and sold the homestead to third parties. The testimony thus of fered was ruled out by the court, and Fisk by his counsel excepted. Fisk then offered to prove by the testimony of J. and D. N. Speer, two of the attor neys who signed the written proposal for settlement of the 18th of Novem ber, 1868, that it was the intention of the parties to that agreement that Fisk should be allowed to proceed to collect his money with the mortgage.#. fa. without auy further litigation from Samuel Akers, and it was so agreed and understood at that time, and that this was the main consideration for the release of the fifty acres of land. This testimony so offered was also ruled out by the court, and Fisk by his coun sel excepted. It was competent for C. F. Akers to testify' what was'the agreement be tween the parties, and as to the con sideration of that agreement, but it was not competent for him to testify its to what was the intention of that agreement. Inasmuch as it was com petent for C. F. Akers to testify ’as to what was the agreement of the parties and the consideration therefor, it was also competent for J. & D. N. Speer, the other parties to it, to testify in re buttal what was the agreement of the parties, and what was the considera tion for it, as they proposed to do. The distinction between the testimony of Akers and that offered by the Speers is this: Akers stated what was the “in tention of the agreement,” without stating what was the intention of the parties to that agreement, whereas the Speers offered to testify what was the agreement and the intention of the pa-ties to that agreement, and the consideration therefor. The ruling out ofithe testimony of the two Speers, wlfceh was offered in relation to that point in the case, was error. The theory of C. F. Akers* claim to t hi* money in the sheriff’s hands, as dis closed by his evidence, was, that Fisk had agreed, in consideration of the pro posed settlement between his father, Samuel Akers, and himself, to assign to him, C. F. Akers, his mortgage lien on the fifty acres of land for his own bene fit, as compensation for professional services rendered in the suits which were to be dismissed, for his father. Samuel Akers, and the giving up of the draft on P. Pease. The theory of Fisk’s ci.im to the money was, that the asign ment of the lien of the mortgage on the fifty acres of land was made by Fisk in consideration that he should be allow ed to make the money due on his mort gage fl. fa. out of the other land cover ed by his mortgage, without any fur ther litigation by Samuel Akers, and that it was so agreed and understood between the parties at the time, but that the said Samuel Akers in viola tion thereof, renewed the litigation by interposing a claim to the land levied on, taking the homestead there on, and selling the sams, etc., and has thereby wholly defeated the collection of the money due on his mortgage fl. fa., all of which he proposed to prove, which the court refused to allow him to do. This was error. The court should have allowed the evidence to have gone to the jury, and let them have decided from the evidence what was the true agreement between the parties, and the consideration therefor. This being an equitable proceeding to distribute money in the sheriff’s hands, it would be competent for the jury, if the pleadings shall be so framed as to authorize it, to so mould their verdict as to protect the rights and interests of the respective parties, and do jus tice between them as they may believe from the evidence they are respectively entitled. Let the judgment of the court below Ug reversed. Speer & Speer, for plaintiff in error. No appearance for defendant. The hopeful offspring of John Henry appeared, yesterday afternoon, with a portion of his pantaloons, which shall be nameless, protruding after the fash ion of a lady’s pannier. “Good heav ens! Arthur,” said the fond mamma, “what have you been doing with your pantaloons?” “Well, you see, mamma, I cracked a piece out of pop’s razor, peelin’chestnuts, an’p’r’aps he might get mad about it when he gets home, an'go to foolin’ round.” John Henry says he extracted from that pannier four towels, one cashmere shawl, one bifurcated garment with insertion on the lower ends, two pairs of striped hose, and some new-fangled apparatus made of India-rubber, with a tube to fclow it up. Arthur is in bed. 'l' .A. 1&. E SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen. MALARIOUS FEVERS.

It is eminently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an hour of suf fering, and many a dollar in time, and doctors’ bills. After Forty Years’ trial, it is still re ceiving the most unqualified testimo nials of its virtues, from persons < >f the highest character and responsibility. Eminent physicians commend it as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the shoulders, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Pain in the Region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom, and Forebodings of Evil, all of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver.

ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY SUBJECT. Printed from New Type, aiui Illustrated with several Thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO PEDIA was completed in 18(53, since which time, the wide circulation which it has at tained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which has taken place in every branch of science, literature and art, have iuduc-ed the editors and publishers to submit to an exact and thor ough revision, and to issue anew edition, entitled THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made anew work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the indus trial and useful arts, and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own coun try, which was at its height hen the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and in dustrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE Have been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the par ticulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible cates, and to furnish an accurate account )f the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh pro duction in literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of of the progress of POLITICAL and historical events. The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it ou to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been PRINTED ON NEW TYPE, Forming in fact anew Cyclopfedia, with the same plan and compass as its predeces sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex penditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowl edge. THE ILLUSTRATIONS, Which are introduced for the first time in the present edition, have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to givo greater lucidity and force to the explana tions in the text. They embrace ail branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarka ble features of scenery, architecture and art. as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although Intended for instruction rather than em bellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. The cost of their execution is enormous, and it isbeiived they will find a welcome reception as an admirable leature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high charac ter. This work is sold to subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be complete in Sixteen Large Octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
