CITY INTELLlGENCE.

City Court. The case of young Robert.
was continued in this Court yesterday. Chas
+. Mayer, Esq, on the part of the defence, oc.
cupied the morning session. He spoke upward
of four hours, and at the conclusion of his ar
gument a recess was taken. The Court met
again at half past o'clock, when Attorney
General Richardson made most pow erfu ar
gument, before the jury, in the early stage Of
which the dense crowd present were moved
more, we are sure, by the irresistible force OF
the sentiments uttered, than through any feel
ing of hostility toward the youthful prisoner,
applauded the speaker by tapping, &c. This,
however, was soon subdued, as those who Join
ed in it no doubt felt conscious of their fault.
Upon Mr., RS concluding, the case was given
to the Jury, who retired to their room; about an
hour atterward, the jury not having returned,
the Court directed the baiff to remain in their
room until such time as they should make up
their verdct-upon doing which, if during the
night, they might repair to their former quar-
tiers for rest, otherwise TO remain in Court
The Court thereupon, about O'Clock, ad ourn-
ed till this morning, 10 O'Clock.
