Supreme faA1ial Court.

Saturday latt the Supreme Judicial
unH-Court clofed its annual felton, in this
onou,=town during which time the trial Of
md 2the unfortunate Capt. POTE, for the
Fsisnurder Of his wife, came on and occu-
thspied the whole Of Thurfday, till eleven
|1na o clock in the evening. The evidence
[IoFn was very full and clear that on the nth
of November laf, at about eight
[a O'Clock in the evening, after many re.
nee sproaches for her unfaithfulnefs 10 his
|cagbed, for which not the leat foundation
cxi0ed, and attempting to Triangle her
q. with handkerchief, he killed her with
repeated ltrokes Of fre-hovel upon
Ngathe head and neck. There being tome
haevidence that gave colour to iuppofe
that Capt. Pote might be infane at the
4 e y time, the fame was fully and ingcniouf-
/. h ly argued in his favor by his council,
Mcfrs. Symmes and Davis, but with
out efe6, as was anticipated; for the
Jury were but few minutes agreeing
- 70 the fatal verdid. The unfortunate
offender was on Saturday fentenced to
death by the Chief Jufice Of the SUI
preme judicial Court, in very pathetic
address, amidR a large concourfe of
fpe6ators Whole deep attention and
and uravailing regret did homage to the
. ). umpire Of the laws.
At the fame court JQlbua Cords was
tried for aGaulting and cutting his wife
with an axe, with intent to murder
her and though infantry was again
pleaded to fecure him, and appeared
muchomore probable than in the cafe of
y Pote, yet his jury brought him in gull
81 ~ of the whole indictment, and he is
TO receive his fentence at the next term.
Some other criminals were tried.
1t is worthy of remark, that the
= court in the line Of civil buinefs did not
get TO the actions that were entered
u this year, which may be in a great
degree owing to the multiplicity Of
p. criminal matters before them, but GER
tainiy proves the great necefity of a
Y feParate Judicature for Maine, by which
r fuffcient time could be devoted to the
Z complete administration Of diltributive
y jutice.
