Three of the Justices of the Inferior Court have Indian wives.—The Sheriff refused to take the oath to support the laws of the Constitution of Georgia, or to leave the State. He was seen [or run] a number of times by the Guard, but they could never saving such a sheriff and such a court backed by the missionaries, we may reasonably expect many and serious difficulties. The Sheriff says he goes the whole amount for the Indians.'—and I am credibly informed that the Missionaries are more unmeasured in their abuse of Georgia than ever."
