CITY INTELLIGENCE.

COnuiciiOn Of Ed,c. p. King. The trial Of

forgery, was brought to close yesterday, by
the jury rendering verdict of guilty on the
counts in the Indictment, which charge him
with transmitting forged papers to Washing.
ton, whereby it was attempted to defraud the
Government out ofmoney alleged to be due a
deceased seaman. The punishment for the of.
fence is Imprisonment for not less than one nor
more than five years. From the fact that,
MIR. King was young member Of the bar,
whose moral character heretofore stood high,
the trial has excited no little interest among a
large class OF citizens. For the material facts
in the case we refer to the report given in a.
mother column.
Death from Injuries. We learn that Randall
Mcdonald, the young man who was so badly
beaten on Sunday afternoon week, at Sher-
woods tavern in Plowman street. died yester-
day about Q o'clock, from the injuries received
II will be recollected that he was cut very bad
ly with either an axe or brick, Oh the head, and
it is supposed that the brain was injured, which
caused the fatal result He was about % years
of age, has always been much respected, and
was quiet, peaceabe citizen. There was foul
play on that afternoon, among some of the par
ty engaged in the spree, and we yet hope the
guilty ones may be found out and punished.
The High Constable. The bill increasing
the pay ofthe High Constable to $1,000 has
passed both branches of the City Council and
only awaits the signature Of the Mayor to be-
come law. One section of the bill provides
that he shall keep such horse, as will enable
him to visit all parts Of the city in the course
of the day.

ed with rob5ing H. J. Gill, was broug hit into
the Middle District watch house, on Wednes-
day night No one appearing against her in
