INTERESTING Law CAsE--lt will be re.
collected that one Endymoin, a convict in
the Auburn State Prison, was pardoned GU,
by Gov. SEYMOUR on forged recommenda.
tions to executive clemency. After the for.
gerry was discovered Endymoin was nrrested
and recomIntted to State Prison. The par
don which was found upon his person read
or was made to read Eadymoir instead of
Endymoini whereupon the State records at
Albany were mutiated 30 as to make the en-
try correspond with the spelling in the par
don, and thus to hold the prisoner on a tech
nicalty; way of proceeding very undignifed,
to say the least oI it, in high State function.
aries.
A writ OF haJeds corpus has been sued out
of the United States Court, Judge HALL pre-
sidiug to which Mr.. Titus, the warden of the
prison, makes return that he has 40 such per-
son an custody as Endymor. Much excite
ment prevailed, and the prisoner as finally
placed in the hands vi the sheriff to wait the
final action of the court upon the writ Should
the pardon be adjudged valid and the prisoner
released, he will then no doubt be arrested
on the charge of forging the names subscribed
to the recommendations for executive mercy.

A SAD SieBT--The following account OF
q scene in the Bolton Police Court, Oh Friday
is from the Post:
Mary Jane Courts acknowledged that she
was common drunkard. Her appearance
young, beautiful, well dressed, dignifed,
almost to haughtiness, and an indication OF
being well educated and accomplished
together with the tears freely shed, touched
veteran official, and LED him to exclaim
"There must be some mistake" But alas!
it was too true--a native Of a neighboring
town, with a home, education, accomplish
ments, everything to make life happy, in an
evil toir she fell, and all efforts to reclaim her
have hitherto proved unsuccessful A few
weeks since, she was found upon the ground
in fit, friendess. She was carried to the
hospit II, where she soon recovered, and such
was the impression she produced, that she
was provided with abundance of clothes ant
money, and respectable position was secured
for her out of the city. She remained one day
when she returned to her old haunts. The
nexttwo months she will spend at Dee
Island"
