BERRIEN SUNJBIOR COURT,
Regular October Term, toon One of the
Busiest Ever Held,
Tli* regular Octob-r term of
Berrisn Superior Court \vn# hold
in Nashville this week with
Judge John 8. Candler, of the
Stone Mountain circuit, presid—
ing, It was generally under-
stood that Judge Candler was to
preside and the lawyers and
people generally were expecting
court very much,
without ft minute’s delay “roil
court was convened and the
called.” The grand jury organ-
i*ed by electing Mr. T. E. wil-
Hams foreman and were given a
Verv clear but Hot lengthy
charge. The Judge charged the
usual sections of the criminal
cod* and then touched upon
county matters generally. He
was particularly clear and strong
upon the subject of roads and
bridges and defined the three
classes of roads; first class roads
being clear of obstructions for a
width cf thirty feet; second
class roads, twenty feet, and
third class, sixteen feet. He
statedthatif the twelve miles
of road that h. traveled ov.r in
getting to the court house was a
fair sample of our roads that we
did not even have ft third class
road in the county, and tliere
wat no one present who could
deny the truthfulness of his as¬
sertion.
A few jurors who did not ans¬
wer to their names Were ordered
to be arrested and brought in
under attachments. Daring the
day light, fines were imposed up¬
on those who did not gi-o good
reasons for their absence. All
were notified that, there would
be no calling of clients or wit¬
nesses from tli* court house door
and then the court settled down
to business.
Tli# court business began
about ten y*ars back, the first
jury case being O’Neal vs. Pick-
ren St Varn, damage for tres¬
pass. This was a long case and
consumed the day Monday, the
jury bringing in a verdict of
$600 in favor of O’Neal.
Tuesday was well nigh con¬
sumed in hearing the case of
Bryd Belote vs. W. W. Tim¬
mons, damages for ejectment,
the jury giving a verdict in this
case for $500 in favor of Belote.
Melcher vs. B. <fc W. R’y., suit
for damages for personal injuries
revived by a full from depot
platform in Tifton, occupied the
greater part of Wednesday, the
jury in this case giving a verdict
in favor of defendant.
L. B. Varn vs. M. R. Lindsey,
involving titles to a lot of land
was decided in favor of Varn on
a technical point.
J. B. Gunn, receiver for Wei-
ton & Gunn, by his attorney,
Capt, Hammond, filed a report
and orders were taken for the
disbursement of about $10,000
now on deposit in bank.
Quite a number of cases,
amounting to !16 or 40, were
stricken from the docket for va-
riouscause, verdicts were agreed
upon in quite a number of cases,
several claim cases were tried
and about ha'f a dozen divorces
were granted.
The criminal docket was tak¬
en up Thursday afternoon and
George Flowers plead guilty to
the charge of bigamy and was
given three years ir, the peniten¬
tiary. A number of negroes
were convicted of minor offen¬
ses and sentenced according to
the lieinousness of their crimes,
A negro was to be tried to¬
day (Friday) for murder but we
cannot give the result yet.
The grand jury held a very
busy session and it is reported
that a large number of tru* bills
have been returned. We hope
to be able to publish the general
presentments next week.
Court is still in session and we
cannot give a complete synop¬
sis but all things considered, the
term has been a very busy one
and the docket has been reliev¬
ed of a great burden and is now
up to a comparatively recent
date.
Judge.Candler is an indefati-
buble worker and is very elsewhere pleas¬
ant on the trench and
and has made many frieds on
hi* first trip to Berrien.
