Rnnimors Gin Conri. The following cases

! were tried in this Court yesterday: John X.
! Wiley, charged with having assaulted William
| Saline, with intent TO kill, also another count
| charging him with simple assault. The evi-
| dence exhibited a degree of intimacy between
! the plaintiff and Mrs Wiley, in the absence of
| her husband, who was in the ship Brandywine,
as to palate the offeucc-consIsting OF cut
| upon the arm with knife, and an effort to do
tho plaintiff other personal injury. He was
acquitted of the first CONT, but found guilty of
an assault. Not sentenced. Watson for the
State; Hack and Cox for the defence. Jesse
Owens and Charles Walsh, charged with at
tempting to rob George Lent, and also of as
saulting him, IN stopping his wagon near the
| edge of the city, were discharged plaintiff
! failing to appear against them.- Michael
| McGin, Ga boy) indicted for stealing a tame
duck the property Of George w. Lorence -
The alleged offence as charged in the indict-
ment in this case, (the amount of property and
the age of the accused, very naturally excited
no small degree Of sympathy in behalf of the
prisoner when arraigned, but the testimony
elected certain facts, which, whether fully sus-
! tanning the charge Of guilt or not, exhibited
novel and deplorabe state of human yico and
degradation, on the part of the youth and his
/ associates. The testimony as to the felony was
of a contradictory character. The case was
given to the jury, who retired. Cox, for the
defence. During the absence of the Jury, the
Court adjourned till this morning, 10 O'Clock.
