Deers & Cos., G< nts:— Consideration* of du- | ty to tlie afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary j testimonial to the great value of “Carter's Spanish .Mixture,” J for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula. Without leitrdisposed or deeming it necessary to go into the particulars of the case, 1 can sav that the astonishing results that have been produced by lhc use of that medicine on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence,'-sifter the skill of the best physicians had been exhausted and all tlie usual remedies had failed, fully justify mein recommending its use to all who may be suffer- j ing from that dreadful malady. 1 do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, of course, 1 know nothing about that—but from what I have seenot'theef- : feds, 1 would not hesitate t > use it, in any and every case of ! Scrotula, with persons for whom 1 felt an interest, or over whom 1 could exercise influence or control. Very respecttullv, JOHN M. NOTTS. THOMAS M. TURN HR & CO. J AS. H. CARTER, Savannah, Ga.

Sup. Court 1851, John” 1. Boyd was duly tVied and found guilty ol the crime ot Murder in the Second Degree, upon the Indict ment against one David Wright, Principal,! ll the First Degree, and the said John TANARUS., Principal in the Second De cree,lor the Murder ol Alexander M. Robinson, upon which verdict of guilty he was, by the Jhdgement of said Court, sentenced to be hung on the 7th day of September proximo ; and whereas, it appears, by the exemplification oi the testimony and verdict in-said case, that the Jury who tried the said John T. unanimously “recommended him to mercy;’ - and wheroas, two of the Jurors, viz: Julius R. Clapp, and E. C. Bellamy, represent upon oath, duly ad ministered by L. T. Downing, Notary Public, that they desired to render a verdict of guilty ofmansjatightef onlyfas to said Bovd, hut being instructed by tlie Court, that the Bill of Indictment, as drawn, contained no charge, in law, of the crime of Manslaughter as to Boyd, and that the Jury were obliged either to convictjiim of Murder or acquit him altogether, they reluctantly acquiesced in the Verdict as rendered in preference only to a total acquittal; and whereas, James Johnson arid Marshall J. Wellborn, members of the Columbus Bar, certify that they were “pre-’ sent and heard the decision of the Supreme Court overrul ing the motion for anew trial made by John T. Bovd, and heard the Court announce verbally from the Bench,” in the case, that the Court below who tried it, mistook the law and erred in holding that the Bill of* Indictment did not contain a charge, in Ufw.of Manslaughter, but as the evi dence delivered to the Jury,in the opinion of the Supreme Court, applied exclusively to the proof of the crime o Murder, so far as the same tended to show the defendan guiltyof any crime at all, the Court below did right in intf structing the Jury that they must either convict the defend ant of the crime of Murder or acquit him altogether;” and whereas, C. D. Finley makes affidavit before E. C. Gran nies, “that he was near the scene of action on the 27th of February, 18:>4, at the “Pleasant Hour House”—said John Boyd standing two or three doors above, and after rehear- ; sing a short conversation between himself and Boyd, says 1 he “went into the house and after remaining for a tew mo- ; rnents started out’—that before “he reached the door he ! heard the repoit of a pistol on the side walk near the door —that there was but one pistol fired— that he immediately went out and saw A. M. Robinson falling,—David Wright j running and two or three persons running after him, and ! firing pistols at him—that several shots were fired at that. 1 time—that during this time John Boyd walked off* towards : the river; he was not running and there was no person in ! pursuit of him;” and whereas, Eleazer Morrell makes afli- ; davit before Jordan Howell, J. P., that he “was present at i the rime Mr. Alexander M. Robinson was killed in the eitv j of Columbus—that he was in a position where he could I see all the parties, and that he saw David Wright draw his I hand from his pocket, arid saw the flash of a pistol as if! in the hands oi Wright, and saw Robinson fall immediate- I ly—that at the time Wright fired at Robinson, he, depo-I nent, saw John T. Boyd, run off and be did not see him (Boyd) shoot at Robiuson—that lie did not hear but two shots at the time Robinson was killed, and one of them j was from a pistol in the hands of David Wright, and the ! other from a pistol in the bands of Zachariah Gammell, j who shot at W right as he ran off; there was another shot ! fired by deponent at Wright some four or five minutes af- i ter the first shots were fired—Boyd ran to the West, and ! Wright to the East—that be. denonent, did not see a pis- i tol in the hands of John T. Boyd at the time of the killing —that ho could see Boyd distinctly at the time of the kill ing, and that he, Morrell, was one of the City Guard at the i time, and engaged in arresting the parties;” and whereas, Alexander P. Prior, makes affidavit before Jordan L. How ell, J. P., “that at the time of the killing lie, Prior, was standing withiu three feet ot David Wright and JohnT. Boyd, when Robiuson approached and arrested Wright and Boyd—at that moment deponent heard the report of a pistol and saw Robinson stagger back—David Wright immediately rau off into the middle of the street and guard ran after him; during this time Boyd was standing near de ponent’s door, and deponent saw him until the firing com menced across ihe street, when he, Boyd, went off; De ponent states that he did not hear but one pistol at the time Robinson appeared to be shot, or make any resistance whatever; at the time, deponent heard first pistol fired, j Wright made a demonstration to resist the officer Robin- j son, but Boyd did not make any demonstration to resist; | Deponent further statos that he did not inform M. 1. Well- ! born, Esq., Counsel for Bovd, of any of the facts above j stated; and whereas, John E. Code makes affidavit before : Jordan L. Howell, J. P.,“that he was present at the lime ; Alexander M. Robinson was killed in the city of Colum- : bus, and =aw the difficulty, and that he saw David Wright j shoot at Robinson, and saw Robinson fall, and that he did not hear but. one report of a pistol at the time Robinson fell, j and did not hear a second report until Wright started to run j off; he further says he did not_see John T. Boyd shoot at ; Robinson or attempt to do so; witness says that he was 1 , standing about ten or twelve steps from the parties when j the difficulty occurred, and thinks that he could have heard the report and seen the Hash of the pistol if Boyd had shot; Deponent further says that he was a witness on the part ot the State in Wright’s case, but was not a witness in Bovd’s case— that the deponent did not know Boyd at the time the difficulty occurred;” and whereas, it appears from the ex emplification of the testimony adduced on the trial, that the aforesaid F'inley, Morrell and Code, were not sworn : on the trial of the said John T. Boyd, and by the affidavit j of Marshall J. Wellborn, the only surviving Counsel for ! the accused, that “the existence of their evidence was un- ; known to him until after the trial of said case, and after the opportunity to move for anew trial had passed; and whereas, upon a careful examination of the testimony, and i especially the affidavits herein substantially recited, it is, to say the least, extremely doubtful whether the said Boyd fired a pistol at the “time of the difficulty, it is therefore deemed a proper case for F3xecutive interposition, so far as j to allow the Legislature, in its wisdown, to pass upon the j guilt or innocence of the said John T. Boyd: Therefore, by virtue of authority vested in me by the ; Constitution of this State, 1, IIERSCHEL V. JOHN- j SON, Governor of Georgia, do, by these presents, respite ! the execution of said sentence of death against the said I John T. Boyd, at the lime aforesaid, and to the end that Ii may be able to make report thereof to the next General! Assembly, in pursuance of Constitutional obligation, 1 do I by these presents, stay the execution of said Judgment, of ! said Court, upon said John T. Boyd, until die twenty-third day of November next, between the hours specified in said j Judgement and command you, and each of you, to with hold and desist from the execution thereof until the clay 1 and between the hours aforesaid, to the end that the Legis- , lature may pass upon the ease, as the same shall be report- j ed by me to that body.
