QUEER PRocEEDI In the late trial of a man
in Baltimore city court for wiful murder, the jury
brought in a verdict of mansaughter. A number
of the criminals friends who were in court, mis-
understanding the verdict for one Of acquittnl,
sent up tremendous shout of approval; but, on
ascertaining the real verdict, they undertook to
chastise Of the jurors, who, they alleged, was
to seek safety in adjacent house; and it is said
has left the city from dread. This 10 about tho
queerest proceeding that we have lately heard Of
juror, under promise to acquit prisoner, gives
an idea Of the value Of justice in that locality,
which il 10 fortunate for the security of society
