Strong Feeling and much Excite ment. The Post gave last week a state ment of tho grounds on which Mr. Edward Perry had Mrs. John Perry and Rawls’ wife arrested. Tho trial came off last Friday. We hoped (as did every ono else) that the testimo ny in tho caso would bo thoroughly sifted* But such was not th$ busi ness of the Ordinary’s Court. It was only to decide a question of law, as is sot forth with great clearness and strength in the following decision of Judge Duncan, which will better explain the status than anything we could say. Laurons Court of Ordinary, At Chambers, July 20, 1878 Ann Perry & Susan Perry vs ) Habeas Corpus J. C. Scarborough Dept. Sheriff This case dismissed as to Susan Porry, she having failed to swear to tho petition—or any one else for her—J. C. Scarborough Deputy Sheriff having produced Mrs. Ann Porry in Court, with his answer set ting forth that ho is holding said party in custody under, and by vir tue of a writ of Trover und Bail front Laurens Superior Court at tho in stance of Edward Perry, Executor of John Perry Sr. vs Ann Perry and Susan Perry, for the recovery of a lot of gold and silver ebin and United States currency.—And the only ques tion beforo this Court being, is the party legally hold in custody?—This Court of the opinion, from a eare- fut cKainination of said Bail writ that isifd Edward Perry, Ex’r, has fully complied with Sections 3118 and 3419 of the code.—And tho princi ple involved in this case having beon fully decided by the Supromo Court in tho caso of Harris vs Bridges, in 57th Ga. page 407, tho other question before this Court—is gold and silver cfljn and United States currency per sonal proporty? This Court not having access to a law dictionary, cannot give tlio legal definition; but taking, tho definition of personal proporty as laid down in Webster’s Dictionary, viz, Personal Property consists in things belonging to tho person, as, rnonoy, jewels otc., in distinction from real property, Which consists in houses and lands. There fore this action 'being for gold and silver coin and United States curren cy, and that being personal proporty, and tho said Ed ward Porry Ex’r hav ing fully complied with said sections, 3418 and 3419 of tho code in bring ing said action of Trovor and Bail, and said J. C. Scarborough Doputy Sheriff having only done liis legal duty in arresting said Ann Perry and holding lior in custody.—Therefore this Court is of the (/pinion that said Ann Perry is legally hold in custody by said J. O. Scarborough Doputy Sheriff. It is thoroforo or dered by the Court that this writ of Habons Corpus bo, and is heroby dis missed at tho applicant’s cost—and that said Ann Perry bo remanded back into tlio custody of tho Doputy Sheriff of said county, ’tho samo as if this writ of, Ilabeus Corpus' hud not been issued, /- Johu-T. Duncan, Jnly 20, 1878. Ordinary. Tho above decision was not reached till Monday morning. Tlio two women were placed in jail tho same day, where they now remain. Wo understand that tho women’s attor neys have applied for a now Writ of Habous Corpus beforo Judge Pate, and that tho now trial will come off in Ilawkinsvillo noxt Tuesday. But while this ipart of the programme is boing'vjgffonsly pnsheth, thdvomerhls- attorneys have turned a double back summersault, and ordered ! tho arrest of Mr. Edward Perry, on the ground that he hits tlio gold and silver iu question, and that it is tlio property of tho widow!!! IIo is, at the hour of going to press, looking round for a bond, which, it is presumed, he will find no difficulty in making. Tho plot thickens. What next? For Sale.
