The convicts and sentences were not
SO numerous as usual at this term, al
though some few OF a peculiar character
took place.
Jehn l., Moore was convicted OF keep
| ing gambling house, OF the highest or
worst description. He did not appear
to receive his sentence, but il was never
,heIess passed, that he should be impri-
soned in he PenItenliary six months, pay
| a fine Of 500 dollars, and give security
| for lis good behaviour two years, him
self in $500 dollars, and two others in
$500 dollars each. 1t was developed
by the evidence in this fragrant case,
That Moore bad boon vi associate with
| Gautier, and was last :sEh one Sollere,
| in a faro bank, the manner OF playing
which was destribed; Tia he had kept a
house in Nassau street, from which It
| was removed 10 Water street, after the
conviction OF Gatlsr; that one man,
(the late Mr.. AI-------n,) had lost there,
in less than Is minutes, one thousand
dollars, for whieahc cave his check on
the spo,, and had lost in the whole, at
the bank, tzuenty thousand dotlars, was
ruined, and driven by the misery thus
brought on himself and bis family, to
despair and suicide. Powerful applica-
lions have bsen mada in favor Of Moore,
|by respectable wsts, . daughter reru-
tabIy married, anil by Others, but TO no
purpose, in arrestins the judgment oil the
Court, which was descended by the I'M
perious necessity OF the case, and there
fore imposed The same as upon tiauiisr
for the same oiiehcc--in addition TO
which the district attorney moved Tor an
order or Judgment Of ontlawry against
him, which the court readily granted,
with the provision ,Aat it sAould not cx-
tend to the conGscatins OF the goods and
chattels Of the defendant. Ills bail, re-
oognized in 1000 dollars, was declared
forfeit, Of course, unless he returned and
submitted 10 his sentence.
Catherine Field lac co mmon scohd, was
called but did not appear. The recor-.
der remarked, that, Notwithstanding her
trial, and the law against her, it was not
deemed by the Court necessary to pro-
coed to sentence her, For the para
graph in the papera respecting her case,
she had gone 10 The printers and scolded
them--,he court would probable sc, a
scoldlng from her if brought in again--
and as it was uncertain where her scold-
ing would end, ii vas sought advisable
to let her go for the present, with the
lesson she had alresdy received. 1
II soarniag TO ScAolds.-An Ohio pa
per, published 81 Zanesvilie, relates the
following diverting occurrences:
A wouian lalely on her way to Gin
cinnati in Steamboat, commenced "a
most tremendous s shower OF words"
upon a sister passenger, a few hours be-
fore the boat landed. Notwithstanding
the vast experience of the modern Kan
tippe III the art Of scolding, she uniortu-
nalely opens : aerniouth 10 such an enor-
NOUS extent as actually to dis!ocate her
jaws. The passengers, as.on!shed at her
sudden silence, and grotssque appearance
kept arespectiui distance, while she with
hasfy steps and cltnchetl hands paradetl
the deck OF the boat. As soon as they
landed surgeon was called, who in
staniiy discovered the cause ofour hero
ines vide distorted mouth but from the
time which had elapsed, ~ eGort Of his
couldreduce the dlslacation wlhouta pre-
vious relaxation OF the contracted and RI
gid muscles ofths part. To effect his
purpose, he took a lighted segar in each
corner of his mouth, and puffcd the
smoke downth throat Of his patient, not
outstanding sht resisted, hngenis etcal-
cibns, with all her might. The smoke
presently producednausca and taintness,
and consequent rtlaxation OF the mus
cles; when the ioxation was immediately
reduced; and we are happy to learn, that,
though the woman is Still living, and i'll
good health, she has not been heard To-
scoia since. tits further stated, that il
hasa good effect upon ihe Xantippc Sis
terhood in the vicinity ofthat place, es-.
Ipecially in restraining such a vast extern
sion Of jaws as to enable them to pass
through.
