To JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ, =
The Herald of this morning has Just arrived, con
tanning the charge Of Judge Rugges, delivered to
the jury last evening, in the case of Sullivan Me-
Ceester and Kensett also the verdict OF the jury
granddaughter IN the Jor.h degree The astonish-
ment here expressed at the enterprise OF the " lie.
raid, in thus providing the public with the result OF
this Interesting trial, day in advance OF all the
other papers in New York, is not more general than
presume II is in your city. The charge, as repor-
ted has been pronounced by all the members of the
bar who were present, well as Judge Ruggles
himself, TO be in his precise language and reflects
great credit upon your unring industry and fearless
regard of expense, to crafty the numerous readers OF
| the popular Herald" Such was the eager desire
to the contents of this mornings paper that am
told gentleman called upon to read il aloud in
one of the Harlem Railroad cars, while going from
your city Such enterprise and public spirit on
your part, viii certainly receive its full reward
The Prize Fight cases will be continued on Tues
day, and among the first that will be cal ed is that
| of DR.. Caldwell who attended the combat between
Mccoy and Lilly merely as a spectator, but who,
| strange TO say, has been indicted as a principal.
Doctor c. is one of the most eminent of his profess
| sion, and mas seen and performed much service as
surgeon in the English army in which he acted
professionally for many years II has been asserted
that he might possibly have avoided an Indictment
had he vowed ignorance of his own profession, but
sooner than do this we know he would remain in
the State prison till doomsday He possesses great
talents and ability surgeon, and a man, none
who know him but respect and esteem him for his
private virtues and social accomplishments.
Attorney General Barker has left, and will not be
engaged in the other causes, his duties before the
Court of Errors, Albany, requiring his attention.
DistrctAttorney Nelson, aided by John Jay, Esq,
will manage the remaining causes on the part of the
prosecution
The prisoners will not be sentenced until the end
of the term, which will probably close this week.
The Impression is that they will each receive
tence of at least six months Imprisonment in the
county prison, with fine, In addition, and doubt
the court istelf, with the Attorney General, will
unite in petition to the Governor for pardon of
two of the prisoners. Public opinion appears to be
decidedly set in favor of such punishment as will
prevent such scenes in future, but we hear none de-
srous of the penalty extending to Imprisonment in
the State prison. The instant they are sentenced,
shall send you the result by most expeditions ex-
press. So look out
The Jury in the case of Sullivan, McCleester and
kensett, we understand, on going out were three
for acqulttal and the remainder divided between
conviction for manslaughter in the second and
fourth degrees. They finally, after nearly four
hours consideration, concluded upon the verdict as
sent to you last evening. have to return my
thanks to Messrs. De Forrest and Lewis, of this
town for the prompttude in arranging every thing
for the immediate communication of the result of
this trial, in accordance with my directions The
latter is my worthy host and he deserves the name
well his attentive partner and industrious and
active attendants, intending his pretty and round
faced daughters. Let any one coming here certain
ly stop at Lews's.
An interesting case of assault and battery arising
from an attempt to separate man and wife comes off
which shall report in full The par
ties are among the bon ton, and the particulars are
rich and racy.
A strong prejudice has been recently excited
here against those concerned in the Prize Fight, by
the circulation Of pamphlet entitled ''The Life OF
Coy" in which are contained the most ridiculous
and wiful misrepresentation Of facts that could
possibly be imagined by some crazy headed idiot.
The impression is therefore, that of the other
trials will be postponed until another term.
The Herald is all the go here, and if you should
publish the trial with the admirable charge of Judge
Ruggles, and the verdict, demand for thousands
would follow.
P. S.--John Winchester is here in prison, and
will probably be tried this week for his participation
in the Prize Fight.
