W.e read of misery in Ireland that seems.incredible, of

do not recognize tbe misery fightaboutus at this moment,
nor know the suffering that is even now in thiscily drag-
ging down hundreds to the grave.- During the last win"

any that can be met "with in .the wo-stricken. -hovels of
j&nn: ana inougn sucu extreme cases arc rare, cises de-
manding the advice and aid of every humane man and
woman, may be discovered in any square of our thriving
town. .- - .

which occurs .amongNis is ndt physical; those cases

a coarse calico foose gown,, her -hair neatly brushed back
Trom her brow, and fyer fingers busjly at work upon 'some

"Ellen," said the.engraver, "here's a man who says fie

The wife, pale, weak,. and evidently desponding, strug-
gled toreslram herself when thus addressed, but she could
not, and sobbing, fell back in her chair "
"My good friends," cried I, Vlell me your troubles.

1 ABSTRACT , ,
Of the Decisions of the Supreme Court delivered at its
4 last session Chief Justice Hemphill presiding.
Where, in an action of trespass to try title to Land, no
suggestion as auttiorize"d,by law, is filed by the Defendant
in relation to the improvements made on the Land there
being no allegation in "the answer to justify, the introduction
if proof to establish the-alue ofthe said improvements'
all evidence on that point sbduld be.rejected as being ex-
trinsic to the issue. Scott and Solomon; vs. Mayrtard and-
Wife. ",...
Where tliere'is ho difficulty in designating and identify-
ing the Land in dispute, there is no. necessky for a survey
thereof, and tlte Courttnay proceed" to trial vithourmak,-
mg an order iocthe same though on motion, by any one
ofthe parties, the order will be made as a raalrer of right
. . ., . . Ibid.
Deftiand of possession and notice to quit are only neces-
sacy when the parties occupy the relative position of land
lord-and tenant, aid nqt wherethe Defendant claims the
Lwd adversely to the Plaintiff in aljsoluteprpprty.--Ibid.
Under the laws of Spain, propertyacquired durin-
jparriageby purchase whether the acquisition .be made
in uiejoiui names or nu3oanu ana wire, arm me name ot
either separately, must be-considered as common proper-
ty any exception -lo this general rule must be-established
by certain and positive evidence, otherwise the presump-
tion that the property is common will remain unimpair-
ed. Ibid. ' -
Under.the sam'e system of laws the actual dominion
over the community, prqperty is vested in tfie husband
during the.continuance of the marriage and he can sell
ahe same without the consent ofthe wife, such disposition
being vajid except -when- made fpr the purpose of defraud
ing nnd injuring the wife. iijrf... - '

in his Republic at the time of making the contract Ibid.
' A widow left destitute .of properly at the deathTof her
husband, is entitled, under the law3 of Spain, to one-fourth .
part of his estate, provided the same does not exceed one
hundred pounds of gold, (computed to amount to 102,705
reales, nnd 30 maravedis vellen.) Jacob Garrett, vs:
John D. Nash anjL Wife.
The prohibitory and penal law, see Part 3, Tit. 11th,
Law 3,J forbidding marriage wij.bin one year -from the
df-alli ot the husband, is annulled and. reversed. Ibid.
Whefe there are.children in exisjence of the'anterior
marriage, the poorvvidoj, on her re-martiagejwilf only .
enjoy the usufVact ofthe fourth pari of her deceased hus-
band's property; but where there are no children ofthe
former-marriage, nor their descendants, the legal, aswe!i
as the equitable title tothe fourth, vests in the widow, and
il becomes entirely -her own Ibid.
The widow is entitled to this marital fourth without
subtraction or diminution nltboughshe can sup'port ber-
sejf Ky herjnbor, and may have acquired Some prdp'erty
since the death of her husband and although rfifj; hus-
band may have .bequeathed to her ihe fifth if this were
not sufficient for her accustomed allimony.-r-Jfifri, ' v
The questions, in this.cafise werejecided according to
the'laws in force in this Republic, prior to the introduc-
tion of ih"2 Common Law. . The authorities Tefened to
are Part 0, Tit 13, Law 7. Pariida 3d, Tiu I Uh, Law
31 Febroro Vol. 1, ParM, Cap. 1. Whites.' Recopila-
cion, Vol. 1, p'. 47. ''Febrero Nov. Vol. t p 425.- Sala,
lib I. Tit 8. 2 vol. p. 61. Mexican edition.,1832, and
"Diccionarib de Legislacion," under the title Guart&
Marital.
Foreign laws mustbe proved ns facis,and without sucli
proof, the Court could not judicially, know the rate of in-
terest allowed. ina foreign j3late, and the.contract being
made in another country, and with reference fo its laws
the rate of interest authorized by ibis Republic., cannot be
allowed. JJtiJJi vs. Folger, Lamb df Co. -
Where the demand is unliquidated, the intervention'of
ajurymustbehad lo ascertain the amount of indebtedness
before the judgment by default can bemade final. Cuj?j-
mines, vs Butler. '
When the general issue is pleaded, the defendant can-
not introduce proof of plaintiff's indebtedness to him. Sucli
defence, with a bill of particulars, should be specially
pleaded, or the evidence would operate as a surprize to
