An "Iron Clad" not in Court.

--Pursuant to adjournment, the habeas corpus case of Jas. W. Griffin alias Tim Morris, was called yesterday morning. His counsel was present, but Griffin did not appear. By consent of both sides the witnesses present were examined. Capt. John H. Freeman said he had known one Joe Griffin since he was a boy, whether that Griffin was the one involved in this case he could not say without seeing him. That Griffin could not be more than thirty five. Detective officer Craddock said he knew Griffin since they were small boys together. Griffin was not more than thirty three. C. R. Brown, of the Iron Clad Troupe, knew nothing of Griffin's age, but knew that he had been discharged by the conscript officer at Macon, Ga., on the affidavit of his (Griffin's) mother, that he was over forty-five.

The case was again continued till this morning to ascertain what had become of Griffin.
