The Supreme Court room was packed this morn
inc. with dense crowd of persons, anxious to hear
the verdict rendered At ten o'clock the Judge took
his seat. and in few minutes afterwards the Jury
entered, passage for them through the crowd
blocking up the doorway having with difficulty
been procured. The verdict, fixing the damages at
$4,000 damages, and 6 ii cents COSTS against
seven of the defendants, and Acquiring the Others
was then read. The defendants convicted of the
conspiracy were, Samuel and Edward Richie,
Elizabeth r. Shoemaker, John NJ Whtal, Geo
NJ. Elkinton, John Llpplncott and John l.. Kite
Those acquitted were BENJAMIN ii: Warden, DR..
John ID. Grlscom, Anna w. Hmchman, Phillip
Garrett, Joshua ii. Worthngton, Charles Evans,
William Biddle, and Thomas Wistar The Jurors
were then polled but some of them became con-
fused, when called upon TO name those of the de-
PENDANTS found guilty, and the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS took exceptions to II, which, however
scarcely lead to its being reversed. The amount
of the damages does not come up to the public ex-
pectatlon and most persons outside OF the jury
would have been disposed to assess the penalty at
twice that amount.
