American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1845-10-29

crowded yesterday morning, and an unusual
number OF legal gentlemen were within the bar,
anticipating the trial of the five young men in
dlcted for violating the person of Margaretta
Ehrmann. As separate indictments had been
| found against the accused, Edward Pelham Ro-
berts was arraigned, as party to the charge
He having plead "not guilty." the following
gentlemen were selected Gall from the regular
panel except the two last as a jury to try the
case John T. Barber, Thos S. Williams, Jas
| II. Carlisle, VIM G.. Wetherell, Geo. Brown,
: John II. D. Boon, John A. Bosley, John Busk,
VIM. P. Patterson, Thomas G. Owings James
! II. Valiant, and Geo. w. Waters. By agree
ment of counsel the case was postponed till this
morning 10 o'clock, and the jury adjourned &C.
cordingIy. with instructions from the Court to
forbear conversng with any person in reference
to the case at issue. George r. Richardson,
States Attorney, appeared on the part of the
prosecution, and Charles F. Mayer, Esq. for
the defence. The Court adjourned till this
morning, when all parties interested will do
we'll to be punctual in their attendance.
A Warming to Liquor Sellers. During the
session of the City Court yesterday, two per-
sons, Hellmann Hobe and Moses Koogle, were
brought up, and pleaded guilty to the charge of
selling liquor in less quantities than pint, con-
trary to their license. The Attorney General
remarked that there were many, no doubt, who
obtained license for Sl5, allowing them to sell
not less than by the pint, actually retaied in
smaller quantities, knowing that they were do
ing wrong-but, rather than pay S5l.5s for a
license to sell by the glass, they would run the
risk OF being detected, in which case they would
save, as the court seldom imposed fine more
than $40. The court fined them each sl5 and
costs.
/ The Suit for Damages Withdrncn In our
paper of yesterday, we noticed the institution
of suit against high constable Clifford and Off
Ger Lambert, for damages, in consequence of
the arrest of J. M. Cannon. An explanation
has been made of the circumstances connected
with the affair, which entirely exculpates the
youth from any improper conduct, the officers
in question having acted under the circum-
stances of the case in the discharge of their
duty, upon the representations of Others, which
they had good reason to rely upon as correct;
and therefore no blame attaches to either par
ty. The matter has been amicably settled,
and the suit withdrawn. We we're in error
/ yesterday in saying that officer Myers had been
sued, it was officer Lambert, as above stated.
Broadlcay. This spacious and beautiful street
has been recently graded and extended, and
granite Curbstones have been placed along the
margins Of the Sidewalks But for some rea-
son unknown TO us, that part north of Bati-
more street is made much narrower than the
rest. 1t is source of regret that n uniform
width was not observed in the extension OF this
fine thoroughfare.
Discharged. John A. lines, who was arrest
ed in this city and committed to Jail, charged
with having abducted colored boy, has been
discharged for the want of proper evidence to
hold him to answer therefor.
Disturbing the peace. Sarah Lamb, charged
with disturbing the peace, and abusing Mary
Potter, was arrested yesterday by officer Pam
philion, and in default of bail, was committed
to Jail by Justice Miller
Thro,ring Stones. James Church, charged
with throwing stones and thereby breaking the
window Of Mr.. Callender's house, on Hamp-
stead street, was arrested yesterday, by officers
Ray and Stockett and fined 81 and costs, by
Justice Miller.
Case for Court. Marinda Crimsley, charged
with assaultng and beating Mary Peacock,
was arrested yesterday, by officer RAY, and
was held to bail to appear at Court, by Justice
Miller.
