Smith vs. Jones. Complaint, from Ful
ton. Statute of frauds. Contracts. Non-
Suit.
Jacksox, C. J—Contracts within the
statute of frauds must be in writing
signed by tlio party to be charged or some
one authorized by him to sign, and mu3t
contain a statement of the agreement
sought to bo enforced.
(а) A receipt given by one party to an
other, and signed by the first alone, is not
sufficient to charge the party receiving it
with a contract stated therein, it beingone
required to be m writing.
(б) A letter referring generally to a con
tract as existing, without stating any of
its terms or otherwiso identifying it, is
not sufficient to bind tho writer to a con
tract the terms of which must be supplied
by parol. Judgment affirmed.
Coxwell vs. State. Murder, from Wilkes,
Criminal Law. Indictment. Evidence,
Charge of Court. Prisoner’s Statement.
Practice in the Superior Court.
Crawford, J.—1. Where an indict
ment alleged that tho defendants on
certain day, in tho peace of tho State
?hen and there being, with certain pis
tols and shotguns charged with powder
and leaden shot, did then and there
feloniously, wilfully aud of their malice
atoretlioimht kill and murder the said
Turner alias Awtrey, all of which was
contrary to the laws of said State, the
peace, good order and dignity thereof,
such indictment was sufficient, though it
did not allege that the killing was unlaw
ful.
2. Although after an injury is done
there is no principle of law which will
Justify an act of individual satisfaction or
vengeance, yet where the line of defense
to an indictment for murder was that a
continuous feud had existed between tbe
deceased and the defendant, that the lat
ter bad sought the protection of the law,
but its operation bad been avoided by tbe
flight of deceased, and that he had re
turned, and by threats and otherwise had
kept defendant in continual fear for his
life, all of the facts connected with such
feud, including its origin, were admissi
ble, in order that the jury might fully un
derstand the case.
3. The record of the trial aud convic
tion of a principal in the first degree is
conclusive evidence ol lii3 conviction and
prima facie evidence of Ills guilt ou tbe
trial of a principal in the second degree,
and tbe onus is on tbe defendant to show
that the principal in the first degree should
not havo been convicted. But defendants
indicted as principals in tbe first degree,
where they sever, have no presumption
against them by reason of tbe fact that
two may have been convicted before tbo
third is put upon bis trial.
4. Good character may be of use
doubtful cases, but when Hie evidence is
clear it can be of no avail.
5. While the court may so far restrain
the prisoner's statement 113 to prevent his
occupying the time of the court and the
jury with long, rambling and irrelevant
matter, yet as to all matters connected
with tbe case the prisoner may make such
statement as be may think proper, and he
should not be restricted to stating such
facts as would be admissible in evidence.
Judgment reversed.
Atlanta and West Point railroad
Johnson. Case, from City Court of At
lanta. Evidence. Railroads. Dam
ages. Negligence. Master and set-
vant. Charge of conrt. New trial.
Crawford. J.—1. Where a declaration
in a suit against a railroad on account of
physical injury alleged that plaintiff was
employed as a train hand on defendant’s
freight train; that by tbe negligence of
other employes the accident occurred
(describing it) by which liis fingers and a
portion of his hand were so mashed as to
necessitate amputation, and that bis ca
pacity to labor and earn money was there-
)>• permanently diminished one-half, evi
dence as to plaintiffs age and capacity to
labor was admissible without more spe
cific allegations in regard to them.
2. After stating an injury done to tho
plaintiff, giving all the material facts
touching his physical condition, his previ
ous capacity and present incapacity for
labor resulting therefrom, it was not error
to allow tbe witness to state liow much
less be could do after tbau before tbe in
jury.

A gentleman named Blair is talked of by
the Mahonites as candidate for Attorney
General of Virginia, largely because he
formulated the leading principle of the
party in the phrase: “Honor won’t buy a
breakfast.”
(a) Suit being brought for a perma
nent injury resulting froth a railroad ac
cident, future pain and suffering may form
an element in estimating damages, pro
vided tbe eviilenco renders it reasonably
certain that they will necessarily result
from the injury.
4. It is not proper to introduce in ev
idence standard life tables to show tbe
expectancy of life of a person of tbe age
of the injured party, as a basis upon
which to estimate the amount of dama
ges he pliould recover and such in effect
was the charge of tbe court.
(a) That the judgo directed the jury to
inquire into tbe plaintiff’s capacity to la
bor instead of bis ability to earn money is
no ground of reversal. The capacity to
labor was in fact the thingof which plain
tiff claimed to have been deprived, and as
a result thereof arose an iuability to earn
money.
5. In a suit by an employe against his
employer for damages done by a co-em
ploye. the question whether I10 himself
was fiee from negligence, refers to negli
gence operating at the time of the iujitry-
That he might havo been negligent at
some other time would not affect tbe is
sue.
0. Tbe rule tbat positive is superior to
negative testimony docs not apply where,
of two parties having equal facilities for
seeing or hearing a thing, one swears that
it occurred, the other that it did not. Tbe
preference tho law give3 positive over
negative testimony is when one swears
positively that a tiling bappaned and an
other swears tbat he was present and did
not tee it or bear it (as the case may be),
it being quite possible tbat it may never
theless have happened. Judgment
affirmed.

Crawford, J.—A receiver, when call
ed upon by tbe court to account for funds
in bis bands, cannot demand a jury to
pass upon such accounts; but, if objec
tions being fifed by creditors, the court
refers tbe account to au'auditor, and the
receiver files exceptions ot fact to the aud
itor’s report, be may demand a jury to
pass upon such exceptions. Judgment re
versed.
Malone vs. State. Assault with intent to

Criminal Law. Prisoner’s Statement.
1. Under tbe rulings previously made
by this court there was no error in the
charge that “the iury are tbe exclusive
judges of the evidence and tbo credibility
of witnesses; the court delivers to you the
law, and endeavor* to deliver it to you
correctly, and you can safely follow tbe
evidence of the court when advising you
touching tbe law.”
Speer, J., concurred dubltante.
2. Though a section of the charge as
set out in the motion for new trial may be JILLE. BERXHARDTSBOXAXZA. f Webster said it wasn’t safe to take her dar
open to criticism, yet if when taken in
connection with its context there be no
error, anew trial will not be granted.

Gen. Moeoan, of Alabama, in his last
speoch in tho Senate, spoke of the people
who helped Mr. Hsyas to the vote of Louis-
ana in 1876 as having their names perpetn-
ated on the pay-rolls of a grateful country,
and farther on compared them to para
sites. He mentioned several of them by
name, inclnring Mrs. Agnes Jeuks, who
was sitting in the gallery at the time. The
fair Agnes was aa much incensed for being
called a “parasite” as Danh O’Connell’s
fisherwoman was when he called her a
parallelogram. She to-day posts the Ala
bama Senator as an economist of the truth
os a maligner of the good or a lover of trea
son, and as a parasite himself, and winds
np by telling him if she was a man he wonld
quickly retract his epithet.
How She Cubed Him or Sweabino.—Th
husband of a certain Nashville lady, says
the American, was, before his marriage, a
furious swearer. Through his wife’s in
fluence he left off this bad habit, exoept
one favorite on s word, which clung to him
nnder oil circumstances, and whiah, to the
great annoyanoe of the good wife, he would
nnoonsciously use everywhere—the word
“damn.” Several months since he arose
one cold morning, before the servant came
in to make the wood fire; and, after a long
effort and the fruitless burning of many
matches, - turned and said: “Sallie, this
damn wood won’t burn.” To this, the good
wife earnestly said: “yes, the damn wood
is too green, and the damn servant has for
gotten to bring np any damn kindling to
start the damn fire with.” He looked at
his wife in obsolete dismay, bat at one*
saw the point and said nothing. A longer
period than usual passed without
the favorite expletive being used,
but later on he wanted a basks t
ail said, after looking for it: “Sallie,
whore has tho damn basket got to ?” Tha
wife quietly, as if putting a child to steep,
sate: “Ask the damn 000k to gst you the
damn basket—damn her, she keeps it” As
before, he said nothing, but months have
passed; and if he damns anything it is oat
where she is. She says it was iike taking
quinine, and she always went a ud washed
oat her mouth afterwards, but he is cured
