San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, August 25, 1860, Vol. 2 No. 21 BARLEY GROUND ! The undersigned is now prepared to grind any quantity of Barley at a very low price, at his mill on Brittan's Ranch, one mile north of Redwood City. M.L. BRITTAN Notice of Creditors. In the County Court of the County of San Mateo, of the State of California. In the matter of the Petition of ALFRED F. GREEN, an Insolvent Debtor. Pursuant to an order of the Hon. Benj. F. Fox, Judge of the said County Court, notice is hereby given to all the creditors of the said Insolvent, Alfred F. Green, to be and appear before the Hon. B.F. Fox, County Judge aforesaid, at the Court Room of said Court, in Redwood City, County of San Mateo, on the twenty-second day of September, A.D. one thousand eight hundred and sixty, at ten o'clock, A.M., of that day, than and there to show cause, if any they can why the prayer of said insolvent should not be granted, and an assignment of his estate be made, and he be discharged from his debts and liabilities, in pursuance of the statute in such case made and provided; and in the meantime all proceedings against said Insolvent be stayed. Witness my hand and the Seal of said Court this twentieth day of August, A.D. 1860 B.G. Lathrop, Clerk COURT. - The Twelfth District Court for San Mateo concluded its labors after a session of three days, as we predicted last week. There were but few cases of general interest. The case of The People vs. Terry - the duel case - elicited some attention. It was submitted to a jury on the question as to whether the proceedings in Marin county were a regular trial. The records of the District Court for that county, the Judge charged, were evidence of such trial, and the jury accordingly tendered a verdict for defendant. The case of Lathrop vs. Crook et al., was continued till next term. Hawes vs Brittan - verdict for plaintiff. Teschmach er al. vs Thomspson et al. - Ejectment - tried by jury. Verdict for defendants. Arguello et al. vs. Donnelly - Ejectment. Judgment for plaintiffs by default. Hawes vs. Hovious et al. - action to recover taxes paid under protest. Argued and submitted on demurrer to answer. THE SAND HILLS. - We are advised that the north end of the county, though making little stir in the world at this time, is still in existence. Potatoes do not "grow small, over there," and can be had in any quantity by those desiring to purchase. The people are very much pleased that the stages have given preference to the San Bruno road, as the sand hill turnpike is improving in consequence. CROPS. - We learn that the crops in the Halfmoon Bay country have suffered greatly from blight. Many fields of wheat will scarcely pay for harvesting. A threshing machine last week at work near the Purissama, did not turn out more than one fourth the usual quantity of grain. Oats and vegetables have been and are doing well, as usual.
