SENTENCE OF THE Aston House. RIOTERS.
The Telegraph has already announced the convic-
ton Of E. z. C. Judson Ned Buntline) and his
associates in the Astor Opera House riots. The
New York papers of the 29th ult contain the par
ticulars On the 18th, after very eloquent and
powerful address to the Jury on the part of the
prosecution" by Mr.. McKeon, Judge DAILY deliv-
cred an elaborate charge to the jury. The jury,
after being out two hours, rendered verdict of
guilty against all the prisoners. The following
were the sentences Bennett, 80 days city prison !;
Matthews, do; 0'Neil, do; Douglas, do; Hosack,
recognizances forfeited; Judson, one year in the
Pententisry and $3.50 fne being the full extent of
the penalty of the law. The Mirror says:
Prior to the passing of the sentences the prisoners
were asked If they had anything to saw Where
upon Z. q: c. Judson came forward and COM
menced speech, in which he was about to speak,
he sald for the poor boys whose leader he had
been called The Court told him he could speak
only for himself He then went on to say that he
had been tried by preiudiced jury and preju-
diced court. He said he knew of one man on the
jury who bad said the prisoners deserved to be
hanged, before he went into the Jury box Judson
made many and great protestatons of his good
character, which he said he could prove But he
he asked for no favors, he said he was at the
Courts service, etc., etc.
Judge DAILY, in pEOnouncing sentence on him,
was exceedingly earnest in his remarks; going
over the whole case as proved against him, and
expressing perfect concurrence in the Justice of
the verdict. He searchingly reviewed the course
taken by Judson on the night of the riot, and, in
closing, remarked that he never, since he held the
office of a minister of Justice, had felt his own
weakness to the extent he did, when, in pronounc-
ing upon the prisoner the full extent of the legal
punishment, he found himself obliged to pronounce
so mild punishment for so great crime The
prisoners were then consigned to the custody Of
the officers
