DICT, and Tor this and other reasons trusted that
there would be an agreement between the counsel
on both Sides that the jury mi gb be dischar ged.
The judge, on that occasion, asked the respective
attorneys what they bad to say. when MIR. Carlisle,
one Of Gardeners counsel. said: swell. I will
make an agreement. agree to meet MFR. Fendail
here morrow" The names Of these gentlemen
were yesterday Inadvertently, in the haste of writ
ing, transposed in the above sentence. When the
court inquired of Mr.. Fendall. the District Attor
ney, "W hat have you TO sayf" the response was,
Nothing. The other side having refu sed to con-
sent il ia unnecessary for me to say any thing"
The judge sent word to the jury that he did not
feel at liberty to discharge them; and at this point
the court adjourned on Thursday.
Yesterday morning, On the opening of the
court, the District Attorney and Mr. Bradley be-
ing present. Judge Crawford said: "Gentlemeu
the jury are still out. suppose so but can send
messenger to inquire"
Mr.. BaAnLrY. II is obvious they have not agreed
or they would be here | think it i, a strong
prima facie case.
Mr.. FkNoALL. Would il not be better for the
court to send and ascertain whether they have
come to a determinations
MIR. HsSsHaw, the deputy marshal, was accord
ingly despatched. After a brief absence, he
turned, and reported that he had been requested
never be able to arrive at verdict, and begged to
be brought into court
The CoURr remarked that there would be no
| objection to this, if they desired it,
Mr.. FEsDALL said that he perhaps felt more
| than anybody else an unwillingness to go over
this trial again, having SO long been connected
with ii; but, after the renewed declaration of the
jury, he supposed there was no probabi ity of an
agreement. So far, therefore, as the United
States was concerned, be would consent to their
discharge One Of the jurors had been sick during
the trial
Mr.. BRADLEY, The court does not know whether
they have food.
The CoUsr. | donH know whether they have it
at all
Mr.. HEssHAw. They have nothing to drink.
Mr.. BRADLEY. Are any Of them sick enough to
take brandy?
Mr.. HESsHAw. Only as it shall be prescribed
for them, incidentally; not otherwise.
Mr.. BRADLEY. In consolation with my col
league (Mr. Carlisle) yesterday, we agreed that,
until tht>court shall assemble on Monday. we can
make no change. 1t will be time enough then to
determine the course to be pursued. We should
regret separation of the jury now.
Mr.. HESsHAw. Much more said to me by
the Jury than need to be repeated here. They
desired me, however, to inform the court that
there has been change of opinion among them
since they first went into the jury room.
The CoUsT said: You can't change their judg
ments.
MIR. BRADLEY believed this the first time he
had ever resisted the discharge of jury, but in
this he thought the jury ought to be detained
some days longer.
The CoURr suggested to the gentlemen that the
jury desired to be brought into court, and sup
posed the court bound to permit them to
come in.
Mr.. BRADLEY. Yes, give them fresh air.
Mr.. HzSsHAw having returned from the jury
room, whittier he had been despatched, reported
''A portion of the jury want instructions, and the
other portion say then won't come in for any such
purpose"
The Guar. They must come with their own
will.
Mr.. Robinson was then directed to adjourn tn e
court until this morning, at eleven o'clock, and
he did 80 accordingly.
The DISTRICT APPOINTMENTS IF general
| rumor is to be believed, the "long agony" of our
Democratic friends with regard to the sDistrict
appointments will be over, or at least con
sJerabIy relieved; the President of the United
States having yesterday, it is said, appointed
James G.. Berrett, City Postmaster; Jonah D..
"A. lr. L.
There was much rejoicing among the respective
friends of these reported recipients of Executive
favor, in consequence.
A MIsTAKE.-We have seen II stated that
"Niayor Maury and several members of the Couu
ellis of Washington, ID. c., arrived in Philadel-
phia on Wednesday, for the purpose of visitin g
Perham's Panorama of trip to California. They
were received yesterday by Mayor Gilpin, on be-
half of the Councils of Philadelphia" It so hap
pens that Mayor M,ury, we have reason to know, i,
now in this city, and has been during the entire
week; AMI should not be surprised if he were
to institute proceedings to ascertain the name o
his unsolicited representative in "the City o
Brother Love- on the interesting occasion.
| FIRE-On Thursday night, between ten and
eleven O'Clock, a two-story frame tenement, situa
| ted on Twenty second street, between ID and f
streets, was entirely destroyed by fire. IL was th'
! property Of Mr.. Perkins, but not sufficiently
finished Tor occupancy. Doubtless inccndary
applied the match.
RoBBERy AND ARsos.-Ycserdny morning, be-
tween twelve and one O'Clock, some one entered
the dwelling OF Mrs. Hoy ION f street, between
Ninth and Tenth streets) through window in tn
rear of the building, and proceeding to the cham
DER OF mat lauyb IN an upper story, stole sum
money from her ock-pccket, she being asleeI
meantime. A gentleman lodging on the lowe
floor heard the sound of descending footsteps, ant
gave alarm, but the rogue escaped before
sufficient force could be aroused to capture him
IL then discovered that he bad set the content
of closet on fire, bnt happily the flames wer
suppressed before much damage was done. Their
was naturally much excitement in that particua
locality growing out of these proceedings.
