The Fall Courts
--Cherokee Superior Court was in session last week, his Honor JUDGE BAILEY 
presiding. The docket was very large, but not a great many cases tried. The 
Indian, who was arraigned for the murder of another Indian, was tried, 
convicted of manslaughter, branded, and sent forth with Cain's mark upon him.
Just at close of the week, JACOB WILLIAMS and N. B. HOWELL engaged in a street 
fight, when ALEXANDER, a son of HOWELL, ran up, drew a pistol, and shot 
WILLIAMS, the ball exiting the right breast and lodging within the body. Young 
Howell escaped and has not yet been arrested. Some apprehensions are 
entertained of WILLIAMS' recovery.
The Superior Court is in session here at this time. JUDGE BAILEY dispatches 
businss with his usual urbanity and acceptability. We notice in attentance
MR. SOLICITOR ERWIN, COL. GAITHER, COL. HOKE, COL. DAVIDSON, GEN. HENRY, 
MESSRS. SHIPP, J. W. WOODFIN, COLEMAN, BRYSON, ROBERTS, HYMAN and others. Some 
important suits are for trial this week, but we will notice their result at a 
future time. -- Franklin Observer
