after providing outfits for the journey pass over the

Conviction OF Lewis Montague, for the Mur-
der Of Gardiner @. ThOmPsOn.

From the Petersburg IVA Intelligence June Isl
This case, which, for thirteen days, occupied ex-
clusively the attention of the Court, yesterday
brought TO close about halfpast twelve oclock.
Thomas S. Gholson Esq, for the prosecution, re-
sumed his argument of the day before at little past
10 o'clock, and concluded about halfpast eleven.
The case was then given to the jury, who retired,
and after being out hour returned into court. The
prisoner was then commanded to stand up in the
cock, and after the names of the juryEnen we're
called in reply to the question, whether they had
agreed upon verdict the foreman Dr. E. c. Smith,
of Chesterfield, answered in the affirmative
handed the verdict to the clerk who read aloud the
words, We Of the jury, find the prisoner guilty Of
murder in the fret degree" The jurors were then
asked, separately, by Judge Nash, whether they
agreed to the verdict and all of them answering in
the affirmative, they were then discharged The
prisoner, during the trying interval in which this
scene transpired, was standing, and exhibited much
GOODNESS and selfpossesson. He was then taken by
the officer to the Jail. The Courthouse was densey
crowded ct the time, and every countenance ex-
pressed the deep anxiety which was felt in the pro-
Ceedings.
Thus has closed one of the most exciting criminal
trials have seen in this city. The terrible
tragedy on Bank street, which convulsed this COM
munity, on the evening of the 18th Of June, 1852,
has been followed by the conviction of the perpe-
traitor Of it, after lapse of just twelve months,
lacking two DAYS.
