A POINT OF LAW-UB FACT? A few days ago a fortune-teller at West Point had an interview with a yođug girl, upon whose superalitious she is alleged to have so successfully worked as to extract from her two dollars to keep evil spirits away; the penalty of non-payment of the money was death at sunset the same day!

Mr. O. D. Ibomeon, solicitor, defended, and abaitted that as a fact the accused was not guilty of the offence alleged against her.

His Worship contended that the defendant was grilly in that she obtained the money, by professing ability to ward off evil spirits.
