having takec without leave an ample chick

graveyard to ST. Johns Church, at the cor

complement of the people, policemen and

and agile fugitive; leaping about am ing the
grave stones, had to try his possbles to
preserve his life. A policemen discharged

SUMMARY JusTIcE.-The Supreme Court Of Tonnes
see now in session at the capital, affirmed the Judg-
ment of death yesterday morning against Ben Her
bert for murder in the County of Montgomery; also,
the Judgment Of Imprisonment for life against John
H. Morgan for murder in the County of Stewart, and
that of imprisonment for ten years against Joseph r.
Holt Jesse Is. Williams, Thomas Ii. Williams, Henry
Byford and John Simmons for murder In the County
Of Cannon The case Of the last five oOnvicts, who
were indicted and tried together presents curious
features. For a considerable time anterior to the
murder for which they thus punished there existed
a deadly feud between two clans in the County OF
Cannon, known as the Holt and CawthorB parties,
both of which seem TO have been composed Of daring
and reckless under their respective leaders, Holt
and Cawthorn. The mutual hostility between them
had assumed 70 deadly a character that II seems
nothing short Of resort to arms and bloodshed would
satisfy them. On the 4th of November, 1854, being
well fortified With the usual stimuli to crime, furnished
by a neghboring licensed dram-shop, both parties,
armed and equipped met in the public road. II seems
however that the Cawthorn party although armed for
Defense did not seek but rather deprecated the battle
at the time it occurred, and passing in body
through the "nation," rs the vcinage Of the Holt
suddenly assaulted by the Holt party from tho road
side. After an interchange of some 20 30 shot,
and much pugilism and clubbing, there q eessa-
ton of hostlities by mutual consent, man Of the
Cawthom clan being dead upon the field, and dvers
others of both clans wounded and injured. Five Of the
Holt clan, the parties named above, including the
leader, JOeeph Y. Holt, arrested and tried to-
gether on a charge Of murder and convicted and sen
fenced above stated 10 ten years Imprisonment at
hard labor in the State Penitentiary.
