THE WAYNF-BLPN SUIT. It la Now In Progress sn tb® Superior Court. The entire seasion of the superior court yesterday was occupied with the case of the heirs of Oen. Wayne against Capt. Henry Blun to recover lands alleged to have been fraudulently secured. The counsel for the heirs are C N. West. Eeq.. of Savannah, Hon. Pope Barrow of Athens aud (Jen. Henry R. Jacks,m{of Savannah. George A. Mercer & Son represent the defendant. At the conclusion of the plaintiff’s’evi dence CoL Mercer moved for a non-snit on the ground that there was not u’indent evidence produced to make out a aas The court was occupied until 5 o’clock in the afternoon with hearing arguni-ut from bo h sides upon the motion. Judge Falli gant overruled the motion and’the case continued. Cant. Blun was put upon the stand to testily as to how ho came tn possession of the land. He stated that ,t was by purchase from Dr. Cuyler, trustee for the heirs, in a regular aud legal msginer. Capt. Blun said It wa* a sentimental purchase on his part. He said that tte negro squatters on the land S ?A Kht *]!"’. to buy it, as after build.ug their own houses upon the land they were In danger of being Capt. Blun said he paid $3,500 lor the land, Ke would not make any oeflDlrq statement as to its present value. Hon. Pope Barrow put the question several tim sa os to what he would take for the laud now. Capt. Blun wanted Mr. Barrow to njake him an offer. When asked if he would take J’Jo.OjO for the land he replied that he would. The case will be continued this morning, and will undoubtedly occupy the whole day. Judge Falligant stated to the counsel that he was very anxious to conclude the case to possible, as an important murder trial has been set for Monday, and he would prefer to conclude the case without inter under the circumstances. ahe land in question is a tract of 103 acres southwest of the city. Capt. Blun the tract of the Wayne heirs in 18k.o for $3,500. Its value is now variously estimated at from $20,000 to SIOO,OOO. It is returned for taxation at $5,000. The case is of considerable interest and Is beiDg hard fought. The attorneys upon both sides are of well known ability and no effort will be spared to secure a result favorable to their interests. Judge Harden devoted yesterday morning in the city court to the hearing of motions. Argument was heard in the afternoon In the case of JC. W. Fountain vs. the Charles ton and Savannah railway. MoAlpin & Laßoche represented the plaintiff, and W. S. Chisholm, Esq., the defendants. The jury rendered a verdict for $175. The case of Boykin, Connor & Cos. against the Perkins Fertilizer Company was called In the United States court yes terday. Tne litigation is a very important one, embracing a large number of accounts. Judge Speer took the matter from the jury’s hands and appointed Marion Erwin, Esq., as auditor to look into the matter. There Is an array of counsel on both sides, and the case will evidently turn out quite an interesting one. Ben Green was befors the mayor yester day for beating George Roberts on the streets. Benny’s parents corrected him with a stout whip in the yard at the bar racks, after which ho was turned loose. Thomas Powers peddled oranges on the street without the necessary license and was fined sl. Nellie Wright was arrested for disorderly o nduct and the mayor im posed a fine of $lO or thirty days. Henry Patrick (colored) stole a basket of coal from T. A. Folllard aud was held snbject to a warrant. Charles Reilly was arrested for disorderly conduot in the theater by Officer Godbold and was fined $1 or two days. Richard M. Lareombe was appointed a commercial notary publio by Judge Falli gant yesterday. TWO MOBS FROM NEW ORLEANS. The New Orleans Board of Trade In dorsee Deep Water. Capt.

ANIMALS TRIED l.\ COURT PIGS, AS-E3 AND ODW3 AR RAIGNED FOR OFFENSES. Curious Old Records and Documents Showing the Forms of Procedure Against Wild and Domestio Arena’s for Violations of ttaa Law. ™ Edmund Collins in Our Anim il Friends, I have rece iHy discovered surae very in teresting old recurds concerning the trials of animals for all sorts of offenses. These documents are authentic, aud in most cases are official records, and they show the cu rious views entertained respecting animals by tfce most enlightened portions of Chris tendom from the beginning of the twelfth century down to 1784. The right to try animals was founded on thejewisnlaw os laid down in Exodus xxi., 28: “If au or goro a man or woman that they die, then the ox shall be surely stoned, aud bis flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be quit.” There are among the official rec irds in the French courts elaborate accounts of ninety-two legal processes against animals extending from 1130 to 1744, when tbs last trial and execution, that of a cow, took place. There are also many records of similar trials in the English court, showing that animals came before the judgment seat, were ar raigned, tried and sentenced with all the formality and dignity observed in dialing with human beings. Men hko Chasseueuz, who were strong supporters of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, hold that everything that exists was created for man’s use aud benefit; that we should not misinterpret God’s providence by tolerating any creatures that rendered themselves in any way harmful to man, and he wound up his learned thesis by saying: “Religion per mits snares to be laid for birds and other animals, and the best of all nets is the light ning of anathematization.” Ho it came to pass that the bishops and other dignitaries or the church, acting, as they believed, under the sacred sanction o f the scriptures, solemnly met many times in the year, but most frequently in harvest season, and then and there deliberately tried all offenders of the animal kingdom against which complaints had teen made. In the civil courts there was hardly a week in auy large town in France that one or more d< mestic animals were not brought before the bar to answer through counsel to the charges preferrel ag'.inst them. The same practice was adopted in the English courts. But the most interesting part of it ail is the methods adopted in trying the animals. When locusts, rats, field-mice or any other creatures harrassed the peasantry they first prayed that God would rid them of the nuisance: but if their prayers wero unanswered they at once came to the near est town where there was a bishop, laid the case before him and besought him to take action in the matter. The bishop, when satisfied that their representations wero cor rect, at once appointed a number of experts to go out and examine the rav aged districts. If these experts reported that crop3 or other proporty had boen serioudy injured by these creatures, then the bishop at once instituted proceedings against them. His first step was to appoint an advocate, who was usually an ecclesi astic well versed in canon law, his duty being to defend the animal. A regular legal document was next made out calling upon him to show cause why the defendants should not be summoned, and If he could not show oause to the court, the Insect, ani mal, or whatever it was, was then cited three times to appear before the tribunal. If they did not appear after the third citation judgment was given against them by de fault. The court then issued an admonition, warning the animals to leave the district within a certain time under penalty of ad juration; and if they did not disappear on or before the period appointed, the exorcism was with all due solemnity pronounced. The courts, however, by every available reason for delay evaded the last extremity of pronouncing the exorcism, probably lest tbe animals should neglect to pay attention to it. Indeed, it is actually recorded that in some instances tha noxious animal did not “wither off the face of the earth" after being anathematized. This the church lawyers attributed neither to the injustice of the sentence nor want of power of the court, but to the malevolent antagonism of Hatan, who, as in the case of Job, is at times permitted to tempt and annoy mankind. There is to be found in the “Meinolres de la Societe Royale Academique de Savoie,” a curious account of proceedings instituted in 1587 against a beetle that committed great destruction in the vineyards of St. Jullen. Forty-two years before the same boetle had appeared in millions, devouring everything that was green in the march; go the inhabitants applied to the bishop to take proceedings against them. They wero cited to appear, and the usual formalities were proceeded with; but, before judgment was pronounced, the beetles, strange to sav, dieappeared. The paysana believed that the insects wero in dread of being anathomatized, and for this reuson had left the country. High masses were chanted and Te Deums suag in thanks for the deliverance, and a delegation waited on the archbishop through whose action the pests had gone away. However, the descendants of the frightened beetles forty-two years later, as I have said, came back and overran the meadows and vine yards, spreading desolation everywhere. Dulaire, in his History of Paris, mentions a legal process set forth in 1(590 ageinst the caterpillars that laid wastif the cultivated portion of the little town of Pont-du-Chateau in Auvergue. A vicar named Burin excom municated these caterpillars and sent aa ac count of the proceedings to the justioe of the district, who laid an interdict upon these insects and solemnly relegated them to an uncultivated spot, which was duly desig nated. No district could commence a legal proc ess of this kind unless all its arrears of tithes were paid to tbe church, and this circum stance gave rise to the well-known French legal maxim, "I'he first step toward getiing rid of locusts is the payment of tithes.’’ The summonses were served by an officer of the court reading them at the places which the animals frequented. These cita tions were written out with all technical formality, and, that there might bo no mis take, contained a description of the ani mals. Thus, in a process against rats in the diocese of JJAutun, the defendants were de scrit ed as dirty animals In the form of rats, a grayish color, living in holes. This trial Is famous in the annals of French law, for it was then that Chasseueuz, the fatnou3 advocate, won his first laurels. The rats not appearing on the first citation, Chas seneuz, their counsel, argued that the sum mons was of too local and individual a character; that as all the rats in the diocese were inter ested, all the rats should be sum moned. This plea being admitted, the cu rate of every parish in the diocese was in structed to summon every rat for a future day. Tho day arriving, but not any rats, Chaeseneuz said that, as all his clients were summoned, including young and old, sick and healthy, great preparations had to be made, and certain arrangements carried into effect, and he therefore begged for an extention of time. This also being granted, another day was appointed, aud again no rats appearing, Chasseneuz objected to the legality of the summons under certain cir cumstances. A summons from that court, he argued, implied full protection to the par ties summoned, both ou their way to it and on thf-ir return home.but his clients,the rots though most anxious to apnear in obedience to the court, did not dare te stir out of their holes on aocount of the number ef evil-dis posed cats kept by the plaintiffs. “Let the latter,” he continued, "enter into bonds, under heavy pecuniary penalties, that their cats shall not molest my clients, and tbe iummons will be at ouee obeyed." The court acknowledged the validity of this plea; but, the plaintiffs declining to be bound over for the good behavior of their cals, the period for the rats’ attendance was adjourned sine die, and thus Chasseneuz gained his cause. The civil courts assumod jurisdiction over domestic animals. When a complaint was made against a pig. a cow or a horse, and the court was satisfied with tha dep sition, the accusal animal was committ-d to prison at the place of criminal justice where the trial was to take place. After hearing the witnesses and taking down the depositions againit the delinquent, and the crime of homicide being proved, the judge i condemned the animal to be strangled and { hung by the two black legs to an oak tree or gibbet, according to the custom of the , country. The animals were led by a halter, one j menial court official bolding the cord: another walked behind aud g.iadsd the j prisoner onward. Uf ail the animals that were brought before the bar the pig was considered the most uuruly, for while the learned counsel on both sides discussed and the judge expounded, the hng frequently grunted and screamed and tried to poke his non® through the bars of the prisoner’s box. Conduct of this kind was sometimes held to be disrespectful and told against the defendant. But an ox, a oow or a bull, an ass or a dug that remained quiet received a certain measure of consideratiou for thoir demeanor. While the animals remained in prison, before, during or after trial, they were entitled to tho same amount of money each day for food as was provided for a human being. Thoy were treated, in fact, exactly as human offenders. Let mo cite a fe sr interesting examples of domestic animals. The execution of these animals was public and solemn; sometimes they were clothed like men. In 138(5 the judge of Faialso con demned a sow to be mutilated in the leg and head, and afterwards to he hanged, for having torn tho face aud arm and then kill ing a child. This sow was executed In the public square, clothed in a mans dress. The execution cost 10 sous, 6 de dors tournois, besides anew glove for the oxenutioner. In 1497 a sow was condemned 1 1 be beaten te doath for having eaten the chin of a child belonging to tho village of Churouus. Tho sentence declared that tho flesh of the spw should be thiown to the dogs, and that the owner of the animal and bis wife should make a pilgrim igo to Notre de Pontoise, wlie e, being the day of Pentecost, thoy should cry "Mercy," after which thoy were to bring back a certificate that this hud been complied with. The charter of Eleouoro composed in 1395, and carta ili log u of Sardinia, states that the oxen aud cows, wild of domestio, might t e killed legally when they were taken in the commission of a crime. Asses guilty of the same conduot were treated more hu manely, they wers placed in the samo cate gory as tbievea The first time that one of these animals was found in a.cultivated floid which did not belong to his maste’’, one of his ears was cut off. A repetition of ■ the offense entailed the loss of the other ear. If caught a third time in the prohibited place, the ass was not hung like other large animals, but was confiscated to tuo prince of the country. A pig once having destroyed a child, the image of St. Panere was brought out, and the child, it is related, was restored to life. The pig was oited to appear iu the bishops court at Lausanne. It was found guilty of wilful murder and sentenced to death. Rueiiat says that “the executioner was a pork butcher." By turning to a list of the animals cited to appear before the courts from 11JU to 1744 may be mentioned the following: Pigs, horses, cows, bulls, oxen, cantharides, ros, leeches, domestio fowl, moles, house-mice, field-mice, chafers, snails, weevils, grass hoppers, locusts, dogs, asses, caterpillars, goats, sheep, mules, pigeons, other birds and worms. Just one more curious incident in this strange history. In the year 1403 Simon do ISaudomont, lieutenant at Mouian, Jhean, Lord of Maintenon, the ball ff of Mar.’os aud Meulan, signed an attestation making known the expenses which had been in curred tn order to execute justice o . a bow that bad oaten a child: “For expenses within the jail the charge was 0 sola Item, to the executioner, who came from Paris to Meulan to put tho sentense into execution, by command of Lord the bailiff and of the king's attorney, 54 sols. Item, for the car riage that conveyed her to the execution, 6 sols. Item, for ropes to tie and haul her up, 0 sols, 8 dealers. Item, for glove3, 12 deniers; amounting in the whole to 69 sols, 8 deniers.” Tho item for gloves has puzzled some persons. Southey suggests that they wore insisted upon by the executioner ns a point of honor, that no one might reproach him with having Boiled his hands by per forming a such subjects. H3AD Taid, YB TOPERS! What Rev. Mr. Peters Found by Ana lyzing Beer, Wines and Liquors. From tlte New Yorlc Herald. Rev. Madison C. Madison of tbe Bloum lngdale church, at tbe Boulevard and iSixty eighth street, gave an interesting lecture on “Samples from Sample Rooms” the other night. Mr. Peters began by saying that In De cember be visited a dozen of tho beßt kept liquor stores in the neighborhood and bought pint samples of their best gin, whisky, brandy, port wine, sherry, etc. These he had taken to expert ohemlsts for careful analysis. “In the sample of ‘pure Holland giu,’ ” said he, “we found neutral spirits, rotten corn, juniper berries, turpentine and vitriol. Wo dropped the white of an egg and an oyster, both eisily digestible articles, into this compound and saw them shrivel up into hard, stringy musses. This shows how nicely a drop of gin ai ls digestion. “In the sample of‘fine old band-made Kentucky whisky,”’ be continued, “we found neutral spirits, glycerine, sulphate of zinc, chromic acid, ere ,soto, unnlaked lime and fusel oil. Now, fifteen drachms of fusel oil evaporated in a box will make tho toughest cat you can put in that box in sensible in less than an hour. POrSON IN ALL. “But the port wine.” said Mr. Peters, “that rich, fruity drink which solid respect ability is proud to take after dinner—that was the worst of all. Wnat do you think we found in tbe best sample that I could buy? Well, there were neutral acid, glys eritte, licorice, zinc, mercury, antimony, salts of tartar and ether, muriatic acid and alum. “I have statistics to show that one hun dred tunes more iniD .rted port wine is sold than can be made from all the grapes in Oport, >. It Is the s itue with all other wlues. Madeira produces 80,000 barrels of wine'per year and America aion i drinks .50,000 bar rels of Madoira wine iu that time.” In the best lager beer be could get, Mr. Peters said, there were discovered pepper, ginger, vinegar, capsicum, cream of tartar, acetic, nitric, citric, tartaric, sulphuric and prussic acids; nitric, sulphuric and acetic ether; spirits of nitre, the oils of vitrol, turpentine and cassia; caraway seed, doves, japonic extract, bitter almonds, orris root, grains of paradise, Spanish juice, black aats, dried cherries, orange peel, coriander seed, white oak bark, tuuaio acid, fennel seed, cardamon seed, wormwood, copperas, alum, sulphate of iron and copper, liqu rice, opium, gentian root, quassia, coeculus in dicus, tobacco,'saltpistar, logwood, marble dust, eggshells, hartshorn, nutgabs, potash and soda. POLICE PROTECTION. “One ounoe of whisky,” continued the speaker, “is a good big drink. There are 128 of these in a gallon, which at 10 cents a drink brings in sl2 80 for what costs the saloonkeeper just $1 70t But how is it these 8,000 are allowed u stay open beyond their legal hours and have their petty crimes winked at? It is not polloe stupidity. It is police complicity. “By police I mean not patrolmen, but the captains and commissioners who, by tbe elaborate system of blackmail they main tain on these saloons, live like princes, though they not so long ago were pauper*. I know a little ssloonkeoper in this town who told me only a short time ago that he put np $1 a week to the police regularly for tbe privilege of keeping open on Sun day. If all bis companions wore taxed tbe same small amount there would still be tho neat sura of $400,00(1 per year spent for police protection,” Local Record for tho Morning News.
