DEAR SIR -
The announcement in the Herald this morning OF
your intention to publish in extra the Trial OF Sui
Ivan, McCeester and Kensett, with the lucid charge
| OF Judge Rugges, correctly reported, as well as
the proceedings in the case of Webb, has created
| considerable anxiety here, and demand will fol
low that will keep the press in motion. Send five
hundred copies to my address at Lewls's Hotel, by
the Harlem Railroad and Red Bird Stages They
will all be snapped up in hurry
| The Circuit Court was opened this morning, Judge
Ruggles and Tompkins presiding, but no business
was transacted, owing to the absence of the other
two Judges the presence of one of which being ne
cessary, the Court of Oyer aad Terminer was not
organized until near O'Clock, when they imme-
dately adjourned for dinner.
AT the opening of the Court at two O'Clock, Five
Point soarlock, named Alder. Hamilton, who had
| strayed into this county in search of prey, was
placed upon his trial on charge of burslariously en-
| terng the dwelling of Jonathan Hatfield, of the
town OF Mount Pleasant, the night of the 9th of
September, between the hours of IL and O'Clock,
and stealing six silver table and six tea spoons and
silver susar-tongs, Nc, valued at about $40 He
was arrested in New York, opposite the Tombs, by
officer Sparks, and ten OF the spoons and the sugar
| tongs found in his possession The prisoner on be.
ing arrested asserted that the articles were given to
HIM to ellby man NAMED Thomas Jefferson Potts
who was also arrested and committed to the Tombs
Potts was discharged and Hamilton sent to this
county for trial. There being no evidence that pri-
soner committed the burglary, further than the mere
fact olhis having the stolen silver in his possession
the jury returned verdict of burglary in the second
degree. and he was remanded for sentence.
There appears to be great doubt that jury will be
found among the present panel capable of trying
either of the persons indicted for being concerned
in the Prize Fight, the challenges for cause in
GLIDING the twenty peremptory, which defendants
entitled to- it is supposed will exclude all pre-
| sent.
The District Attorney is prepared to bring on the
| case Of DR.. caldwell tomorrow morning, if a ury
can be obtained. The prisoners convicted will not
be sentenced before Saturday. They appear to be
in good spirits, iand expect as Webb does, to be par
| doned out
The curious, peculiar and striking case of Charles
F. Miller indicted for assault and battery on Coun-
| sellor John w. Mills has just been called up AL
| though a matter of knock down argument at its
origin, yet it has redeemng points, in the fact that
he was defending himself against an attempt to
prevent his wife from being forcibly taken from his
| hands.
The jury has just been empanelled, but as it is
o'clock must close.
