W. Hawes with shooting at him with intent to murder. The inquiry was held before tt. Stuart, Esq., J.P., and voluminous evidence was taken. The case was a very extraordinary one arising from a neighbor's quarrel. It was not concluded when our reporter left, the Court. It was proved that the accused had fired his gun several times, but whether at [he complainant or not did not appear. Threats had been used on both sides, and each party in the action had lam in wait for the other with loaded weapons ; a somewhat ludicrous aspect being given to the case by the fact that while doing so each seemed more disposed to keep out of the other's way than to meet him. During the continuance of the quarrel the families of each party took refuge in the house of Mr Parsons, a neighbor, who endeavored to act the part of a mediator, and from whose evidence most of the particulars were elicited. —Our full report is necessarily deferred.
