tOWt, Vus"btSOt CouHy, H. I.
On Saturday, the 22d inst, the Grand Jury found
several indictments against the accused. Mr.. Hoban
his counsel stated to the Court that he was instruct
ed by Mr. McNuy to press for trial at the present
term of the Court and urged the considerations which
made Mr.. McNuIty unwilling that it should be de.
layed till June. The District Attorney remarked
that he was willing either to proceed with the trial
at this term to continue the till the next term
If they to be tried at the present term, few
days would be required to obtain the attendance Of
distant witnesses; and it therefore desirable that
day should be fixed for the trial. Some converse.
ton ensued in relation to the business of the Circuit
Court which, in consequence of the recent change in
the term Of The Supreme Court had done but little
busines Il the last Term and which was to hold
its March term, this day, the Oath instant. 1t
not seeming probable, if the Circuit Court should
yield the Court Room for the next week, that the
trial could be concluded within that time, the cases
were continued till the next term, in June.
