Killed by Falling Tree. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.1 Petbbsbobo. Va, Feb. Samuel Mason, aged about 28 years, a son of Dr. Edward Mason, of Greenville county, was killed today near Pleasant Shade, the family residence in Greenville, by a tree, which he was cutting down, falling on him.

Insane oh His Wedding JotntNET. Sylvester H. Lafiln. son of the resident director in St. Louts of the Lafiln Rand Powder Company, arrived at the Metropolitan Hotel.

New ork, Saturday, accompanied by bis bride and bis sister-in-law. Miss Lilian Meyer. Sunday young Lafiln developed an eccentricity of conduct that led him to be closely watched. He walked incessantly about the hails and other publio rooms, and at last began to talk in an agitated manner to strangers. He said that he was being pursued by paid assassins, that others were after him for the purpose of stealing away his wife.

His principal topic, however, was the Injustice, as he termed It. of Ais father, who. he said, had threatened to disinherit hltn for marrying Miss Meyer. The services of detectives were finally called in. and he was under guard at last accounts.

Tempera ncb Delegation tkom Talbot. The steamer Olive was chartered by the Temperance Allianpe of Talbot county to convey a delegation on Wednesday last to Annapolis to present to the Legislature petitions asking for an amendment to the local-option law for that county, but owing to the danger apprehended from drift ioe and timber floating in the bay, and the heavy fog prevailing at the time, the vessel was unable to leave Baltimore until Thursday, ana the visit of the delegation was postponed until Wednesday, 20h (tomorrow.) when the Olive will proceed direct to Annapolis. The proposed amendment provides that violations of the law shall be punishable not only with fine, but with Imprisonment for not less than three dot more than twelve months in the House of Correction. Gen. Simok Cameron leaves New Orleans for Florida today.

Sunday last he drove with Senators Hoar and Cameron to Lake Ponchartrain, where he pointed out the reservoir which he dug by contract fifty-two years ago. A dispatch from Bismarck. says: "A gentleman just down from Poplar river says the reports of starvation among the Indians are not exaggerated. Seven thousand have nothing but a litt flour, all game having disappeared. Their dogg and ponies have been killed and eaten.

at SU.WS47.U-a.U W. 1 I .00 Clear TIBGIKIA UG1SLATCKK. Proposed Reservation for the Colored Kaco Reapportionment Bill Vetoed. I Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.1 Richmonp, Feb. 18.

In the State Senate today, Mr. KoiDer, democrat, offered a Joint resolution requesting the Representatives of Virginia In Congress to bring to the attention of the national government the propriety and necessity of providing a territorial reservation for the exclusive use and local government of such of the nearo race of the United States as may prefer negro population and local negro government, In order to demonstrate the capacity for self-government aud tbe highest development of their race. The resolution was taken up on motion of Mr. Norton, colored, and made the special order for Friday week. In the State Senate today, the bill removing from the Governor the power of appointing officers of the State Lunatic Asylum, and the bill vacating the offices of the present board of directors of that Institution were both passed over the Governor's veto.

The House caving taken similar action a few days ago, both bills are now laws: The effect of this legislation will be to turn out all of the most partisan Mahone members on the boards of directors of the three lunatic asyluinn and the deaf, dumb and blind institute if not all of these. As soon as this action was taken today, Mr. Munford, member of the House, telegraphed the news to Williamsburg. During the day he received a dozen or more telegrams from leading citizens of Williamsburg, stating that the people there were overjoyed and would have a big demonstration tonight over the happy event. The-Eastern Lunatic Asylum which is embraced in the bill, ls located at that place, hence the rejoicing.

The (iovernor today sent In another message, being a veto of the bill reapportioning the renresentation of Virginia in Congress. His chief reasons for withholding his approval are: First, that ho does not believe that the districts therein laid out conform as they might or should to the constitutional requirement, that thev shall be "of contiguous counties, cities and towns, that they shall be compact, and Include as nearly as may be an equal numtier of population;" second, that it cannot. In his judgment, be right, when the voting population of Virginia, as shown by the last general election, is neariy equal. to so apportion the representation as to give one political element of the State possibly eight and probably seven of the ten districts: third, that without reference to mere party questions, he thinks it manifestly against public policy to throw together counties and cities at different sections of the State, thereby losing the Identity ot sentiment and interest which should be observed. Action on the hill was assed Py after some debate.

Gen. Wlckham. straightout republican, in discussing the bill, said be had acted with the democrats in all meaures of interest to the State this session, except the one under consideration. He expected so to continue to act, but claimed that that bill did not, in his judgment, fully comply with the constitutional provision r'-quirinir compactness to be observed 111 laying the Stateoff into congressional districts. It si-cms to be pretty generally conceded that Gen.

Wiekham will vote to sustain the Governor's vetoon that measure. If he does, the democrats cannot, as the Senate is at present constituted, carry it over that opposition. The impression seems to be that the outcome of the affair will be the adoption of a compromise plan of apportionment, which will meet the approval of Gen. Wiekham, unless he will agree to accept the present one. That at present does not seem likely.

The contested case of Callahan. straightout republican, vs. Kue. Mahoneite. from Portsmouth, will probably be decided in the Senate tomorrow.

If Callahan is seated it will add another to the Senate. A resolution was offered by Mr. Heaton to refer to the committee for court of justice the question of whether the Governor has a right t.i veto a bill apportioning the State for members of Congress. WALL STREET. "LETTER FROM ANNAPOLIS.

Co art of Appeals Cases Anne Arundel Connty Affairs. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.l Annapolis. Feb. 18. Fourteen Baltimore city cases are yet to be argued In the Court of Appeals to complete the docket for the October term, as folio ws: Hopkins vs.

Hinkley and Tieck. Kobinsnn and Campbell vs. State, use of Dittman. White, executor and devisee of Miles White, vs. McClellan, Treusch vs.

Shryock and Clark, from the Superior Court; Krietd vs. Myer from the Baltimore City Court: Lebr, administrator of Boninger. vs. Cooklin, from the Court of Common Pleas, and Pole vs. Pietseh, Willson vs.

Timothy Haves, Gorsuch vs. Gelston, and in the matter of the construction of the last will and testament of John Carson, deceased, vs. an appeal of Thomas M. Lanahan and John Carson, executors arid trustees. from the Circuit Court of Baltimore.

The argument in these cases will consume about two weeks. The Court will be iu session tomorrow (Tuesday.) A farm near DavldsonviUe. Anne Arundel county, about five miles from Annapolis, of 234 acres, known as "Summer Hill Farm." and Improved by a frame dwelling, formerly belonging to Allen Marriott, deceased, was sold at public sale today to William Tallant for George Briscoe, colored, recently arrested in Baltimore, charged with the larceny of $700 from Dr. Samuel I). Lynch, of Anne Arundel county, was again before the Circuit Court today on a writ of habeas corpus, the hearing in the case having been postponed from last week on account of the absence of several witnesses, including Dr.

Lynch, who was not present today. Without hearingany additional testimony Judge Miller refused the application and held Briscoe in $1,000 bail for the action of the grand jury, and being-unable to furnish it he was remanded to jail. Mr. Philip C. Clayton, crier of the Anne Arundel Circuit Court, was taken suddenly ill at the breakfast table this morning from heart trouble, and is thought to be in a critical condition.

Although under the three years' sentences for the liouse of Correction many prisoners are sent there instead of to the penitentiary, as formerly, the penitentiary is self-sustaining as befor. and, as shown by the last report, turned about $5,000 surplus into the State treasury.

The Naval Academy court-martial was engaged today with the hazing case of Cadet McKean, and examined cadets Craiir.l'hiliips and others for the prosecution.

Commander Sigsbee, president of the court, rebuked Cadet Craig, who was testifying-. The president said: "You are showinga little too much partiality to the accused in your answers; this court was not organized to convict nor acquit anybody, but to get at th? truth, and you owe more to the government than you do any individual. I want jour answers hereafter to be direct and flat footed." Qneen Anne's County Affairs. rCorreSDondenceof the Baltimore Sun.1 Ccvthevili.e, Feb. IS.

shipments ttiarket strong i I "Esmeralda" at the Academy "Friend and Foe" and "Hobbies." nte ported for the Baltimore Sun.l The performance of "Esmeralda" was given last night at the Academy of Music by the Madison Square Theatre Company, which is undoubtedly one of the best organizations that has ever produced the pretty drama. In commemoration of the event handsome tiles bearing the profile of an ideal Esmeralda were distribute among the large audience. The story of the play is thoroughly a domestic one, with a healthy moral developed in excellent literary style. The tender, clinging love of Esmeralda for her old rather and her trusting lover; the simplicity of Rogers and his fear of his wife: the artful designs of the latter; the manliness of Dave Hardy and the humor of Estabrook mingle in a delightful harmony, which is heightened by the clever treatment of the minor characters. The performance of the company is as artistic as the literary work of the drama.

Benjamin Maginley. as Old Rogers, gave last night as smooth a rendition of the timid father as could be wished. His shading of the character and make-up wore realistic. As Dave Hardy, the lover, Mr. Jos.

Wheelock, a Baltimore favorite, was excellent. His quiet pathos in the last act was exquisite. The Esmeralda of Miss Louise Dillon Is an intelligent one, different from any other interpretation of tho part seen here. She is an artiste both of gentleness and force. The Mrs.

Rogers of Miss Kate Denin-Wilson and the Estabrook of Mr. Charles M. Walcot were highly creditable, In fact was the acting of all the others in the company. Tonight the company will appear in the same drama for the benefit of the Journalists' Club, of this city. The indications are that the audience will be unusually large.

Mr. William J. Scanlan, the popular Irish comedian, appeared at Ford's Opera House last evening-in Mr. Bart ley Campbell's drama, "Friend and Foe." The play is one of love, Is located in France, and briefly is as follows: Carroll Moore (Mr. W.

J. Scanlan) loves Andrea. (Miss Fiorine Arnold.) Quentin La Font (Mr. Mart James) wants to marry Andrea himself. La Font has a power over Andrea's family, and is about to assert it when he is drawn in the conscription.

He offers to pay a substitute. Carroll takes his offer, and with the money frees Andrea's family from La Font's debt. A series of incidents in the war times follow, and in tho last act Carroll returns with honor, and all ends happily. The play affords Mr. Scanlan excellent opportunity for the display of Irish humor and pathos, of which he takes advantage.

He is peculiarly graceful in his movements and possesses a rich baritone voice, which ho used to advantage in rendering a number of original songs. "Bye, Bye, Baby. Bye. Bye," and "Peek-a-Boo" were rendered with particularly fine effect, an! received several encores. Mr.

Scanlan' a sunnort is above the average. Mr. and Mrs. Nat. C.

Goodwin began a week's engagement last night at Holliday Street Theatre by playing the burlesque "Those Bells; or. Mathias Irving." and "Hobbies." by B. E. Woolf. The first plav is a ludicrous contortion of Erckmann-Char-trian's famous story of the Polish Jew, which Henry Irving presented underthe title of "The BeMs." and in it Mr.

Goodwin gives striking imitations of the famous English tragedian. In "Hobbies" Mr. Goixlwin gave good imitations of a number of well-known actors. His personations of Edwin Booth, J'ie Jefferson. Steuart Robson, Joe Emmet and Raymond were much applauded.

He sang a song in Robson's peculiar voice, which erealed much merriment and was encored. The play is full of smart sayings, though it has little merit in other respects. Miss Jennie Weathersby took the part of Miss Bang, an old maid in love with the central figure of the play. As a "human persimmon" and "a gushing fountain of impulse" she was a success. Her sad song.

"1 Want to be Somebody's Darling." was touching, and her appearance as the "Centennial Fairy," in tights, brought down the house. A. Locke's play, entitled "Nobody's Claim." was presented at the Monumental Theatre last night before a large audience. It is a melodrama of the wildest Western style, and is illustrated by elaborate and realistic scenerv. At the Front Street Theatre there Is a double attract io-ar-nn emotional drama, entitled "Home frorti Sea." in which Mr.

Sid France appears in the leading role, and a variety performance, in which a number of specialists take part. Prof. Car-nter's lecture on psychology will be continued at Masonic Temple this week. Major Atom and Admiral Dot are the leading curiosities at the Dime Museum. Friday evening the Princeton College Glee Club will give a concert in the Concert Hall of the Academy of Music for the benefit of the Home for Incurables.

The City Council. Reported for the Baltimore Sun.1 The members of the city council who bolted last week still remained out yesterday afternoon, and the call of the roll showing only 12 members present, an adjournment, was had until today. The twelve members who are in favor of the fire ordinance held a meeting previous to the assembling of the council, aud agreed not to take any action looking to the resumption of business without the presence of the members who bolted until this afternoon. The reform members also held a conference yesterday and agreed not to return unless the majority would give them assurance that the tire ordinance should be amended so as to go into effect in l.V5 Instead of 1sh4; or that the matter should be referred to the people at the next general election as to whether there should be a lire commission or a tire marshal. It is under stood that the majority of the memliers who remained the branch will not accede to either of these propositions.

It is stated that the twelve members who attended would have nrooecded to business yesterday had not one of the members wished to bo better satisfied as to the validity for such action, under the opinion of ex-City Solicitor Ritchie that a majority of the members or the branch formed a quorum for the trans action of business. It is probable that an opinion will be obtained today sustaining Mr. Ritchie views and settling the matter in the minds of the members who remained in as to their authority to act. In the second branch an ordinance was passed for the establishment and support of a manual training school for boys. The sum off.

.000 was appropriated Tor that purpose. Previous to the passage of the bill Mr. John B. Wcntz. member of the school board, addressed the branch on the necessity aud advantages of such a school.

The committee on highways, through Mr. Wevler, presented two ordinances, providing for the completion of Race-street sewer, from Cross street to West street, ami appropriating also, to condemn and open Clement street, from Charles street to Hanover street. Both ordinances were passed. The report of the committee on city passenger railway company, authorizing the Citizens' l'assenger Railway Company to extend its tracks along Harlem and Lafayette avenues to Fulton avenue, and the Central Railway Company to extend its tracks from the terminus on Fulton avenue to the city limits, was made the special order for tomorrow. The German Home of the Aged.

IReported for the Baltimore Sun.l Plans for the new German Home of the Aged have now been completed by Mr. George Frederick, the architect, and were placed on exhibition at Mechanics' Hall, on Fayette street, near Eutaw, jesterday. A general meeting of the subscribers will beheld there tonight to finally adopt the pKns.

The centre wing is four stories high, the lateral wings each three, whilst the extension has two stories and a basement. The centre wing contains the business office, together with the physician's, superintendent's and visitors' rooms; on the second story are the dwelling rooms of the superintendent's family: the third story is the infirmary, and the fourth floor is for the domestics. In the lateral wings are accommodations for 80 inmates.

There are a number of double rooms, though most of them are single rooms. Every room has ample light. The east winlr has a "day-room" on the first floor, 18 by 2S feet, where the old people will find means of recreation and amusement. There are numerous and easy stairways throughout all the buildings. In the extension the basemenfis divided off into a kitchen 22 by 28 feet, and various store and pantry-rooms.

The dining-room, 28 by 47 feet, is on the first floor, and a large assembly hall, with small siae rooms, takes up the second floor. The building will be heated by steam, the boilers being placed in tho cellars of each of the lateral wings. There will be bath-rooms on every floor, and special attention will be paid to ventilation. A one-story building in the rear of the lot will hold the laundry and bakery. The Home will be built of brick, with stone trimmings.

The Senate at 4.10 went into executive session, and when the doors were reopened idjourued. The House. Under the call of States the following bills, were introduced By Mr. Bel ford, a resolution calling1 on the Seeretarv of State to inform the House whether Prince Bismarck had sent to his department any letter touching the resolution recently passed by this House coneern-iner the death of Herr Iasker; and if so, to transmit a copy of the same, and inform the House of any advices he may have on this subject, either bv telejrraph or letter.

He bad received a petition from a gentleman which contained statements which, if true, would unseat a member from Michigan. Mr. Calkins ra sed the point of order that the petition must be referred to a committee through the petition box. The Speaker sustained the point of order, and the petition was referred to the committee on elections.

The member whose title it attacks is Mr. II. H. Hatch, of Michigan. Mr.

Holman introduced a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to huw much of the money now in the treasury can be applied at this time in liquidation of that part of the public debt now payable without embarrassing his department. r.

A call of the House was ordered, and the sereeant-at-arms was ordered to take the absentees into custody and to bring them before the bar of the House.

Letter from Washington. (Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.1 Washington, Feb. 18. It is well understood that the District commissioners are opposed to that section of a bill for building a $20,000 free bridge at the Three Sisters wtiich provides that this sum shall be charged to the District. The commissioners think that to withdraw this sum from the estimates for streets and roads would seriously cripple the projects of next year's internal improvements in the District.

It is probable they will send a protest to the committee having the matter in charge. The funeral of Mrs. Craven T. Peyton took flace this afternoon from her late home on ndiana avenue. She was left a widow 62 years ago.

Matters in Wicomico County. rCorrestxmdence of the Baltimore Sun.l Salisbury. Feb. 18. Several parens Of valuable real estate were sold at trustee's sale in Salisbury last Saturday.

The Peninsula Hotel property was put under the hammer, and brought $12,600, which is thought to be remarkably cheap. A farm containing: 1,400 acres was the next disposed of, and was struck off at Other small tracts were sold. The total amount of sales was $22,000. The work of laying the steel rails on the New York. Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad is being pushed ahead as fast as the weather will permit.

About two miles have been put down, commencing at the junction, going towards Pocomoke City. This week sections of track-layers will be stationed at different portions of the road from Delmar down, putting down track as rapidly as possible. The curves and grades on the road are being changed, and all bridges will be shortened. The bridge at Salisbury will be tilled in behind stone abutments, with an Iron arch in the centre just large enough to permit the tlow of water. The bridge contractors have commenced driving piling for the new bridge at Pocomoke City, which is expected to be completed about the first of April.

The Tteggnr Stuilrnt. Jiblire Fisher, in the Circuit Court, yesterday B-rauted the injuue-tion asked Januarv 8 by John A. MeCaull, of tho New York Casino, to restrain Charles E. Fori! from prcvliieinir the new eomio opera of "The Heirifar Student." Fixher holds that there is such resemblance betwt-en the libretto of Ford ami the original that it amounts to substantial identity. "In many instances," the juusro says, "expressions whieh occur in the ore-'inal librettos and not in the SfiifS are to be found in the work of Mr.

Ford, aud frequent trifling changes in words, without alteration in the structure of sentences, make it impossible to escape the conclusion that Mr. Ford was either bet raved by his memory or made a free use of the original dialogue. It is not necessary that it should appear that any part of the original libretto has tieen appropriated: it is enough that a substantial part has been taen.and this fact appears, in my opinion, upon nearly everv pat'e. Mr. Ford has wholly failed also to establish his ritrhi to use the ary-u merits published by White, Smith i of New York, in makingr a libretto.

In order to maintain this position it was incumbent upon him to prove that the publication was made by the authority or with the acouiesence of the owners of the literary property. "The rule of decision which treats as an abandonment to the public the publication of a work which can te useful to the public or profitable to its owner oftly through publication appears to my mind to anomalous, and scarcely fair in its operation. Nevertheless, it is the settled law of the land, but its ojieration should not be unnecessarily extended, and the courts should, in my opinion, not be slow to lend their assistance to authors who arc willinir to surrender a portion of the results of their labor, and who vet desire protection for the remainder. I think that Mr. Ford m.iy present any libretto not an imitation of the original with the music and sonr8.but he should advertise them in some manner as music and song's only from the opera, together with new matter, and not as the opera of "The Beirirar Student."

The Extent and Valu- of the Oyster Trade Views of Baltimore Packers. Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l Gen. Bradley T. Johnson. Col.

Thomas S. Hodson, State Senator for Somerset county, and Mr. J. Upshur Dennis yesterday visited a number of the oyster-packing houses of Baltimore, with a view of forming some idea of the extent and value of the oyster trade to the city and State. They were accompanied by Mr.Wm.

H. Thompson and Mr. Benjamin F. Leech, representatives of the oyster trade. They visited the establishments of A.

The examination wound up at the extensive house of J. S. Farran where a handsome entertainment was given. Oysters of high grade were served in different styles and other delicacies. Several hours were consumed in discussing the oyster question and the practicability of closing the Potomac river.

It was shown that the oyster-packing business includes about sixty-five nouses in this city. The largest raw house in Baltimore and in the world, that of A. Booth opens about 11.000 bushels per day, the others running down in some cases to 4.500 bushels per day. The business is divided between those who ship raw and those who ship canned oysters. The house of Booth Co.

has a house in Chicago packing game and poultry, one on the Columbia river packing salmon, another in California packing fruit, in all eleven houses. The aggregate product of the Baltimore packers is over $14,000,000 per annum for oysters alone. They have possession of the market because they have an all-year trade. As soon as oysters stop fruit begins. The wages for shucking are paid by piece work.

From 20.000 to 25.000 women and men are employed. The women make expert shuckers. and earn from $2 to $3. The supply of oysters is diminishing-, and they are deteriorating in quality. Oysters that five years ago would not be used for the raw trade are now being, bought and shipped.

The unanimous opinion of the packers is that the deteriorated quality of the oysters now being brought to the Baltimore market shows that the beds are becoming exhausted, and that if some means are not at once taken to protect the oyster beds. within five years they will be practically exhausted. and the packers' trade gone. The opinion is thai oysters should not be taken after April 1 by dredgers, and that there ought to be a closed season. It wa9 thought that regulations for taking oysters in the Chesapeafte bay cannot be enforced until some law is passed preventing the taking of oysters in the Potomac.

If oyster-taking in the Potomac river can be properly reguiatea. men the packers tmntc they can have a good business for years to come. If it is allowed to go on as at present, then the product will be destroyed in a few years. Col. Hodson stated that he was willing to give Virginia an equal right in the Potomac river, provided Virginia gave Maryland an equal riparian right in the Pocomoke sound, though thecompactof 17S5did not give Virginia any right to oyster in the Potomac river.

Captain James Willing said the oyster interestsof the Potomac river were 100 times greater than those of Pocomoke sound, aud should not be yielded in order to secure a share in Pocomoke sound. Gen. Johnson thought the compact secured to Virginia a right to take oysters in the Potomac river. Mr.J.S. Farran said.the oyster trade was being rapidly developed in the North, and that now Western dealers to his surprise were able to have one-balf of their orders filled in New York.

It was decided that Gen. Johnson and Mr. Dennis should go to Richmond, to confer with gentlemen there about closing the Potomac river as soon as the Maryland authorities take some decided step in the matter. SON AGAINST FATHER. The Suit of Ernault H.

Williams Against the Hon. George H. Williams. Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l In the Circuit Court. Judge Fisher, the bill of complaint and answer were read yesterday in the suit of Ernault H.

Williams against his father, George Hawkins Williams, to have set aside a deed of trust made by the complainant May 31, 1882, conveying to the defendant all his property, including his shares under the wills of the late John S. Gittings, grandfather of the complainant. George Mav Williams, his uncle, and Mrs. George H. Williams, his mother.

The value of the property so conveyed and now asked to be restored is estimated at between and $400,000. The bill of complaint sets forth that the complainant, Ernault H. Williams.has always been susceptible to the influence of those in whom he confides, and especially of his father, George Hawkins Williams, who is declared to be a lawyer of. great ability; that being desirous of obtaining control and possession of the estate of Ernault H. Williams, to deprive him of bis leg-al rights thereto, to make him dependent upon the will of the defendant aa far as possible, to secure for himself the benefit of the management of the complainant's estate, and to secure objects personally desired.

George Hawkins Williams did, on May 3L 1882, obtain from Ernault H. Williams a certain deed by which he conveyed and made over to George Hawkins Williams all his estate and property of every sort, to have and to hold the same to his heirs orover, to receive and collect rents, Ac. during the natural life of Ernault 11. Williams, and to pay him $2,000 per annum, and no more, and to reinvest the surplus as the defendant may think advantageous, and to convey the estate to the right heirs of the complainant at his death. Besides the conveyance of all his property, Ernault H.

Williams, by the same deed, was induced to constitute the defendant his irrevocable attorney to do for hi under his name everything ia regard to bis property that he himself could have done. The complainant further alleges that the deed was procured by the unlawful abuse on the part of George Hawkins Williams of the influence which he possessed and exercised as father of the complainant and confidential legal adviser. The defendant, it is furtheralleged, represented that the com- Slainanlhad full power and authority under is grandfather will to the control of that part of his estate devised to Eleanor A. Gittings, mother of the complainant; that George Hawkins Williams availed himself of certain circumstances to make representations that Ernault H. Williams stood in great bodily peril, and urged him to absent himself from the country and place his affairs in the hands of the defendant: and that the defendant availed himself of an occasion when the complainant was under great distress of mind brought on by threats of the defendant and induUrenoe in intoxicating; drink.

The answer denies the allegations in the complaint, and alleges that the making of the deed of trust was a voluntary act. The case will be resumed on Monday next. The counsel for Ernault H. Williams are CoL. Charles Marshall.
