Court Philadelphia Is from ths Philadelphia
An immense crowd filled the Court House
and Hall this morning. The prisoner was |
called up for sentence. Judge Todd and
Bowler sitting: the indlsposition Of Judge
Conrad detained him until late IN the day
Judge Todd announced that the Court was
ready 10 senlence the prisoner. Mr.. ]. r.
IngersOl then moved the Court 10 so order
the sentence that it should take effect from
after the next session Of the Supreme Court,
IN order to give the prisoner an opportunity
10 take out 3 Writ OF Error. The Court re-
fused to grant this motion, on the ground that
there was no particular reason to found such
q favor upon. and IL done in this, II could not
be refused in any other case. Mr.. Ingersol
then read an affidavit Of the prisoner deny
/! tion to the sentence Judge Todd asked the
prisoner his age: he answered seventy
Judge Todd then said, without preface, the
| prisoner, having been fully and fairly tried,
and convicted, the duty of the Court was to
! sentence him. The sentence was " three
| years solitary confinement in the cells Of
/ the Eastern Penitentiary at hard labor
Judge Bowler remarked that he was in fa-
yor Of at least fire gears, that the magnitude OF
the prisoners frauds, and tho number ofsuf-
ferers who were his dupes, demanded q
/ heavy sentence.
The prisoner was then conducted to q car
riage and started off on his way to the Fran.
cisville Penitentiary. The crowd ia frontOf
| the Court House manifested their approba-
\ ton Of the sentence by shouts. M
i DR. Dyott solemnly testifies, that he is not
guilty Of fraud that he is now pennyless,
and that he has surrendered all he has. y" Ii
1 is impossible" says inc Philadelphia Ga
| zette, "to contemplate the imprisonment of
this man, at the age of seventy years, with
! his gray hairs, in solitary confinement and
at hard labor, without feelings of commise-
ration for himself his family, and his
| friends" i.es5i

"A very polite polite and amicable cores
pondence has taken place between Sir John
! Harvey, and Gov. Fairfield OF Maine, in
4 which the former flnctionary announces to
| the latter that Commissioners are appointed
1 by the Queens government for a topOgraph-
ical examination of the disputed boundary
| line between Maine and New brunswick, and
! that those gentlemen had entered on the dis
charge of their duties, and expressing full
| confidence that no objections would exist on
l the part Of Maine. Governor Fairfield has
answered Sir Johns note very courteously
and very properly. The Governor says.
Being fully convinced that the difficulties
supposed by the British Government to be
involved in the pending question of bounda-
| ry would vanish before correct topograph-
ical knowledge OF the territory, shall not
only offer "no interruption 70 the proceed
ings OF the commissioners. which you des-
cribe as "entlrely amicable" and purely
scientific, and the result of which you APP
| prehend may have 81 material influence in
| exnediting the decision Of the pending nego-
citation" but will with great pleasure. afford
the commissioners all reasonable facilities IN
my power, for the prosecution OF their de-
sign.
| This is an az il should be, and we indulge
| the hone that this yexatious business will be
seftled definitiyely and satisfactorily to all
narties. We hone ii is not too much to be-
[ fieve that the two British Commissioners are
men of sufficient intelligence to convince
themselves Ind convince their government Of
the full validity of our claim. If they are
men of intelligence, this will certainly be the
result.
