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. 3.

A Representative candidate. Philadelphia Timet. 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. Akers, receiver, vs. Veal ot al. Exception to auditor’s report, from DeKalb. Prac tice in the Superior Court. Receivers. 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.

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.

Forepaugh’a agents retaliated with pla cards saying that they were “glad to get on official acknowledgin'it that Barnum’s attractions were stuffed monkeys and worthless animals.” Then, when Fore- paugh’s people made a grand street parade, the rear was brought np by several enor mous transparencies on which was painted “Wait for Barnnm.” Gen.

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.

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
