Delivered at Atlanta , Tuesday , August 10 .REPORTED EXPRESSLY FOR THE CONSTI TUTION, RY N. J. HAMMOND, SUPREME COURT REPORTER. Leopold Sternheiraer, plaintiff in error, vs. Isaac Coleman, defendant In error. Ac tion ou account, from Muscogee. Brown, C. J. 1. It is the right of the court in the ex ercise of a sound discretion, during the trial of a cause to propound to counsel on either side any question he may think proper or pertinent to the case. 2. When a party has given up the man agement of his case to his counsel, and is on the stand testifying as a witness, and a question is propounded by the opposing counsel to winch his own counsel objects as illegal, but lie expresses his willingness to answer, it is not error in the court, if the question propounded be illegal, to sustain the objection and refuse to allow the an swer to be given in evidence to the jury. 3. Where one of the items in plaintiffs account is for money paid by plaintiff to a railroad company for the use of defendant, and plaintiff tenders a receipt from the ageut of the company, signed as agent, showing the paymeut, which is objected to, because it is not in proof that the person siguing the receipt is in fact agent, or that it is in his handwriting, and the court overrules the objectiou, an J allows the receipt to be read in evidence, and the defendant in iiis testi mony afterwards admits-that plaintiff (lid pay for him to the railroad compauy the precise amount mentioned in the receipt, the admission of the receipt in evidence is no ground for anew trial. 4. When two items in the account are for mouey paid by plaintiff for the use. of defendant at his request, and plaintiff of fers in evidence the receipts of the persons to whom the money was paid, which arc ruled out because they are not stamped, and the defendant admits in his testimony that plaintiff paid for him to each of said persons the amount specified iu the re ceipt, but swears that he paid back to plaintiff the money whicli he paid to one of them; which the plaintiff iu his testimony denies, and the receipts are permitted by the Judge to be carried by the jury to their room, with the other papers in the case, to which defendant’s counsel afterwards states in his place, he objected ; and one of the jurors afterwards swears that he heard'de fendant’s counsel say something about the papers going to the jury, but cannot state what he said, and does not state that the jury either read or considered the receipts, and neither the Judge nor opposing coun sel have any recollection that such objec tion* was made. He'd: That the fact that the jury carried out the receipts under these circumstances is uo sufficient cause for a new trial. Judgment affirmed. Moses & Qerrard for plaintiff in error. H. L. Beuning for defendant in error. Martha Webb and Wesley Webb, plaintiffs in error vs. Lafayette Harp, defendant in error. Motion to dissolve injunction, „ from Chattahoochee. Brown, C. J. Where a plaintiff in fi.fa. had a lot of cotton, mules, etc., levied upon, and pend ing the levy it was agreed between him and the defendant that he should release the property from the levy, and return it to the defendant, and should enter the execution fully satisfied, in consideration that defend ant would convey to him a tract of land, tEci-Wcckli) (Sjpnstitntiounlisl. with certain personal property, in payment of the ji. fa.-, and in compliance with said agreement plaintiff' released and restored the property levied upon, which was suffi cient to have satisfied the fi. fa. to the de fendant, and the defendant, delivered to the plaintiff possession of the land and personal property, and turned over to him the title papers, and was to take him a deed as soon as they could get it drawn, and defendant died soon after, without making the deed ; and his widow, who was admitted to be insolvent, after the end of the year, finding the premises vacant, took possession, claim ing the land for her husband’s estate, and commenced proceedings in the Superior Court to have her dower allowed out of the same, there being no legal representative of her husbauds estate; and plaintiff filed his hill alleging these facts, and praying that she be restrained from trespassing upon the land, and also from prosecuting her action f6r dower until a legal representative of the estate is appointed. Held: That it was not error in the Judge, who gr inted the injunc tion, to overrule a motion to dissolve it, and to hold it up, until the serving of the bill, placing his decision upon the ground of restraining the trespass above. Judgment reversed. Blanchard & Minor, by Mr. Russell, for plaintiff in error. E. G. Raiford &D. H. Burts for defend ant in error. Andrew Jordan, plaintiff in error, vs. the State of Georgia, defendant in error. Burglary, from Muscogee. Brown, C. J. 1. The penalty for the crime of burglary was changed by the Legislature between the commission of the crime by the defend ant in the case and the time of his trial. Held: Under section 4570 of the Revised Code, that the defendant was properly prosecuted and punished under the laws of force at the time the crime was committed. 2. The evidence in this case was suffi cient to sustain the verdict of the jury. Judgment affirmed. Ramsey «fc Kainsey, Williams & Thorn ton, for defendant in error. Carey J. Thornton, Solicitor General for the State. Squares. 1 Week. 12 Weeks. I 3 Weeks. 1 Month. 2 Months. 3 Months 4 Months. 6 Months. 6 Months. Joseph Douglas, plaintiff' in error, vs. M. S. Thompson, defendant in error. Equity, from Bibb: Brown C. J. When the equity of the bill is fully sworn off by the answer and the' bill Is retained for a hearing, and no irreparable mischief can result; this Court will not control the discretion of the Court below, in dissolving the injunction. Judgment affirmed. Washington Poe, for plaintiff in error. O. A. Lochrane, by Judge Clarke, for de fendant in error. Henry C. Pope, plaintiff in error, vs. W. U. Garrard. Complaint, from Muscogee. Brown, CL J. 1. By section 2207 of the revised Code it io declared: “The destruction Os a tene ment by lire, or the loss of possession by any casualty, not caused by the landlord, or from defect of Ids title, shall not abate ,lhe rent contracted to be paid.” Held: Under this section of the Code and under the former rulings of this court, if the prem ises rented are destroyed by fire during the term the tenant, under au ordinary rent contract, is liable for payment of rent for the full period for which he rented. 2. Where a room in a building was rent led for a drug store, for one year, and three notes were given at six, nine and twelve months for the rent, and the building was burned down a little before the end of six mouths, the tenant is liable for the pay ment of the two last notes as well as the first. 3. The counters and drawers in a drug store, placed there by the landlord, and rented in their place with the store, are fixtures, which tenant has uo right to re move, and if the bulling is burnt, and they are saved by the tenant, they are the prop erty of the landlord, and he has the legal right to dispose ot them as lie thinks proper. The tenant has no right to remove them to another store rented from a third person. 4. The fact that the landlord has the building insured does not eliauge the rights or liability of the tenant. Judgment affirmed. McCay, J., dissenting. James M. Russell for plaintiff in error. Moses & Garrard for defendant iu error. E. Whelchel vs. O. B. Thompson. Parti tion, from Hall. McCay, J. 1. The pendency of a former suit for the same cause of action, is a proper matter to be pleaded in abatement, aud if the parties go to trial ou the merits, the defendant can not set this up in law. 2. If, iff au application for a partition of lands, the defense be that there has been a partition, by commissioners who made no return, but that the. parlies had acquiesced, find had subsequently, under said partition, each occupied for several years his portion as set off, to the exclusion of the others, and made valuable improvements, so that it would be a fraud upon either to repudi ate the division, it is error in the court to charge the jury that this adverse and inde pendent possession by each of his part must, in order to constitute a defense to an application for anew partition, have con tinued seven years. Judgment reversed. W. Boyd and C. R. Simmons, by George Hillyer, for plaintiff iu error. E. M. Johnson for defendant in error. Hole. — Brown, C. J., did not preside in this case. Rivers Reese vs. D. H. Burls, administra tor, etc. Illegality, from Chattahoochee. McCay, J. » 1. A temporary administrator may file an “ illegality ” to an executive proceeding to sell the intestate’s lands, and the perma nent administrator will, on motion, be al io wed to become a party to the proceeding. 2. An execution to enforce a judgment must follow the judgment, and if there be a material variance, the execution will be quashed. 3. When a decree directs that certain described lands shall be sold to satisfy a lien for the purchase money, with a proviso that this shall not interfere with the wid ow’s dower, and that the parcels set off to her shall be “ free from -the force of the lien.” Held: That a fair' construction of the judgment is, that the lien is to be en forced against all the lands described, but not to proceed against the dower lands un til the death of the widow. 4. Held further, That on proof of the death, the court will direct execution to issue against all the lands, but that it is il legal for the clerk, without an order of the court, to issue an execution directing the sale of the whole, without qualification, even if the fact be that the widow is dead. 5. The vendor’s lien for the purchase money, when it exists, stands under the Code on the same footing as a mortgage, in the distribution of an estate, and it does not lose its priority, even if not reduced to judgment until after tbe death. Judgment affirmed. E. G. Raiford for plaintiff in error. D. H. Burts for defendant in error. John H. Lovelace, vs. Chas. H. Smith, el. al. Debt from Harris. Warner, J. When a suit was instituted on a guard ian’s bqud against the principal ainl surety, to reedver the amount of a judgment al leged to have been rendered against <he guardians, and when the judgment was or sered in evidence, it appeared eo have been rendered against the defendant therein in hrt-individual capacity, and not as guard ian—the plaintiff then moved the court to amend the judgment upon the ground that it was rendered by a note signed by the de fendant in his individual capacity, but in the body thereof promised to pay the plain tiff the amount specified in the note “as guardian ” without stating for whom he was guardian—the court refused the motion to amend the judgment, and non suited the plaintiff’s case upon the evidence offered to charge the guardian and his sure ty in a suit upon his guardian’s bonds, for the amount of the judgment claimed by the plaintiff. Held: That the guardian could not by any contract bind the estate of his ward so as to render his surety liable there fore, other than such as are specially al lowed by law as provided by the Code, and that there was no error in the refusal of the court to allow the judgment to be amended, and in granting the nonsuit, upon the statement of facts contained in the re cord ; see sections 1828-1821 of the Code. Judgment affirmed. L. L. Standford, for plaintiff in error. Jas. M. Mobley, by L. E. Bleckley, for defendant in error. John C. F. McCook vs. Paulina Cousins. Motion for new trial, from Chattahoo chee. Warner, J. When C, and E, a freedman, entered into an agreement to rent land and make a crop for that year, and in pursuance of such agreement, E, the freedman, rented land from M and cultivated the same, ancl made a crop thereon ; and from the evidence in the record, the jury had a right to presume that M had knowledge of the agreement between C and E as to the manner in which they were workiug and making a crop to gether. Held: That M could not retain out of the proceeds of the crop C’s share there of for provisions furnished to E, without the conseut of C, the more especially when it appears that M had made a special con tract vvith E, the freedman, to furnish him with provisions for that year, and had taken other security therefor. Held: Also, that, in view of the facts of this case, as presented by the record, the court lie low did not err iu refusing to charge the jury as requested, nor In the charge as givefi to the jury on the trial of the case. Judgment affirmed. D. H. Burts for plaintiff in error. E- G. Raiford for defendant in error. B. Hawkins vs- Thurston & Andrews. Tres pass, from Muscogee, Warner, J. When the court below granted anew trial in a case, upon the ground that two of the jurors who tried the same were members of the grand jury and had found a true bill against the defendant, which fact was not known to defendant until after the trial. Held : That this court will not control the discretion of the court below iu granting a new trial npou the statement of facts con tained iu this record. Judgment affirmed Ramsey & Ramsey, P. Brannon, for plain tiff in error. Ingram & Crawford, (by the reporter,) for defendant in error. SPECIAL MOT Hurley’s Sarsaparilla and Potash Maintains the searetions, especially thso of the skin and kidneys, increases nu'rition, and allays moibid irritability of the nervous and circulating systems. Ilenco an admirable remedy for debility during or after a mercurial course, and for tbe multi farious variety of symptoms which arise, when the health is broken down, as well as by tbe disease us by its remedy. For Scrofula, it is the most certain cure. DISEASED KIDNEYS, if neglected, are almost certain to end fatally, some times the patient dies of exhaustion and obstinate vomiting; sometimes of suppression of urine, and coma; sometimes in a sudden lit of severe shivering ; and sometimes of a rapid attack of acute inflamma tion. In the treatment, the golden rule must be ob served, so forcibly stated by Dr. Trout, that modera tion in the quantity is of quite as much consequence as attention to tbe quality of food. Os alcoholic liquors, sound sherry of the drier kinds or small .qualities of brandy or Ifpllunils and wafer are the best. In the medical treatment, HURLEY'S COMPOUND SARSAPARILLA AND POTASH has proved highly b nellcial f»m its vegetable alkali principles, wi.ich Entering into the blood, possesses the property of abstracting from it a quantity of nitrogenous mat ter sufficient for its conversion into hippntic acid, anr, in this veiy soluble form is readily excreted, and ex pels disease from the kidneys. It may therefore be given with coufldcnce that it will limit, if not cure, the disease. je!B- A Pbactitiover. English Fema’c Bitters regulates and rest ires. E. F. B. will cure your sick wife.

It is idle to expect healt it the precautions ncces saiy to secure it are neglected. The human organizi tion Is a delicate piece of mechanism, and lequires as much iiitellit-ent care and watchfulness to keep it in order, as are requisite in the management of tho most complicated combination of levels, wheels and pinions. At this season of the year the holy is peculiarly sensitive, because It is greatly weakened and relaxed by the continuous heat. The skin, in Summer, wilh its millions of pores wide open, is a very difil-rent sort of tegument from the compact fibrous coveiing which It becomes under the action of the Wintei’s cold. The muscles, too, are comparatively flaccid, the nerves tremulous, the blood poor, and the whole frame less capable of enduring fatigue and resisting disease, than in cool weather. These indications of ad -press ed condition of tho vital forces are so many unmis takable hint - that nature needs teinforciug. Ordinary stimulants will not eflect this ohject. 'J iiey inflame and excite, but do not strengthen. Tiie only preparation which can he .depended upon to impart staminal vigor to the system, and eDahle it to endure the ordeal of the heated term without giving way un der the pressure, is HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, a tonic and corrective so pure, so harm less, bo utterly free from the drawbacks which render many of the powerful astriug mts employed iu medi cal practice more dangerous than the ailments they aie employed lo cure, that it may be administered without fear to the feeblest female invalid, or the most delicate child. The cathart c and alterative vegetable ingredients, which are combined with those of a tonic nature in its composition, keep the bowels moderately free and perfectly regular, while the work of invigo ration is going on. Tbe finest blood depurents which the herbal kingdom affords are also among Us com ponents, so that it recruits, purifies and regulates tbe system simultaneou-ly. anl-tl6 King of Chi IU never failß.

The reputation this ex. ----— v cellent medicine enjoys, is derived from its cures, r £ r-\ A many of which are of a I_JL iat truly marvellous char. wHbw acter. Inveterate cases ff oij of Scvopila, where the Jk system seemed utterly I Jr& v given up to corruption, 1 have yielded to this coin vwr * ® pound of anti-strumoua ----- virtues. Disorders of a |Sg9§p* scrofulous type, and af -afeS3sSHSw«^r’*--’ feetions which are merely aggravated by the presence of scrofulous matter, have been radically cured in such numerous in stances, in every settlement in the country, that the public do not need to be informed here that it is in most cases a specific and absolute remedy. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber cles may be suddenly deposited in tho lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver. These facta make the occasional use of the Sarsaparilla as % preventive, advisable. It is a mistake to suppose that so long as no erup tions or humors appear, there must be no scrofulous taint. These forms of derangement may never occur, and yet the vital forces of the body be so re duced by its subtle agency, as materially to impair the health and shorten the duration of life. It is a common error, also, that scrofula is strictly heredi tary-. It does, indeed, descend from parent to child, but is also engendered in persons bom of pure blood. Low living, indigestion, foul air, licentious habits, nncleanliness, and the depressing vices gen erally, produce it. Weakly constitutions, where not fortified by the most constant ahd judicious cave, are peculiarly liable to it. Yet the robust, also, whose turbid blood swells the veins tfith an appar ently exuberant vitality, are often contaminated, and on the road to its consequences. Indeed, no class or condition can depend on immunity from, it, nor feel insensiblo to the importance of an effec tual remedy. In St. Anthony’s Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, fbr Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ring worm, Sore Ears and Eyes, and other eruptive or visible forms of the diseases caused primarily by the scrofulous infection, the Sarsaparilla is so ef ficient as to be indispensable. And in the more concealed forms, as in Dyspepsia,Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and other affections of the muscular and nervous systems, the Sarsaparilla, through its purifying powciN re moves tho cause of the disorder and produces aston ishing cures. The sarsaparilla root of tho tropics docs not by itself achieve these results. It is aided by the ex tracts combined with it, of still greater power. Se potent is this union ofliealing virtues, Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it, though a long time is required for subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine. Lcucorrhoea, or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female Diseases in general, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by the invigorating and puri fying effect of our Sarsaparilla. Rheumatism and Goat, otten dependent on the accumulations of extraneous matters in the blood, have their remedy also in this medicine. For Diver Complaints , torpidity, inflammation, abcess, etc., caused by rankling poisons in tho blood, we unhesitatingly recommend the Sarsaparilla. This medicine restores health and vigor where no specific disease can be distinguished. Its restora tive power is soon felt by those who are Languid, Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and filled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears, or who are troubled with any other of those affections symp tomatic of weakness. Many, after taking it foe General Debility, have written us of the youth ful vigor imparted to their nervous system, which seemed buoyant with that prolific life they thought had departed on the advance of ago. Others, whose fountains of life were always sterile, acknowledge their obligations to it for an obvious change. Ayer’s Ague Cure, For fever and Ague, Intermittent fe ver, Chill fever, Remittent fever. Dumb Ague, Periodical or Billon* fever, Ac., and indeed all the affec tions which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not Zinc, nor any*o§ier mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowisq injures any patient. Th« number and importance of its cures in the ague dis tricts, are literally beyond account, and webelieve without a parallel in the history of medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we re ceive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed. Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro tected by taking the AGUE CURE daily. For Liver Complaints, arising from, torpidity of tho Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. sw-Hpai Pmmired bv Dr. J. C.
