The Criminal Court sat very late to-day
There was no trial of more than ordinary cha
racter either to-day or yesterday, and the at
tendance in the Court room was very Slim
Joseph Lafontaine (the same person that was
tried and acquitted of rape) being found guilty
of an assault upon the person of Sarah
Green (lhe female who charged Lafontaine
with rape) has been sentenced to paya fine of
one dollar, and suffer two months imprson-
ment in the county Jail.
Several assault cases were tried yesterday
and to-day, and some persons have been con-
vlcted OF keeping disorderly houses, and houses
of ill-fame.
General Jones was occupied to-day for
considerable time, until O'Clock, in arguing a
motion for new trial in the case of the Unit
ed States VS.. John Bush, who was convicted at
a former term of aiding slaves to escape from
their owners. 1t is expected that Judge Craw
ford will make decision in the case, on Tues
day next, to which day the court is now ad-
journed. The jury were discharged this after
noon from all further attendance and the cr-
minal trials are nowat an end.
Elizabeth Johnson, free negress, convicted OF
petit larceny during the present term, was, to.
day, sentenced by the Hon. Judge Crawford
to suffer three months Imprisonment in the
county Jail,
To-day the weather is ''pipng hot"-scarce
in the day time on Pennsylvania Avenue; the
stores are almost deserted.
Yankee Hill has ventured TO announce ano-
ther entertainment. May he be quite success
full in drawing house.
