Sentenced for Perjury.

At the recent Common Pleas in Ashtabula
county case of perjury was tried remarkable
for the reckless attempt of the offender to prove
an abb. The case is thus stated by the Senti-
mel:
There was but one conviction for Peniten-
tiery offence, and that was for perjury. The
case is remarkable for the reckless attempt of
the offender to prove an abb. One of our town.
ships has been the scene of several cases of
petty larceny recently. Three rogues were de-
tected at one time In the act, and one of them,
Norman Sprague, was put on trial at the last
term, when he was convicted and sentenced to
ten days Imprisonment. To save the fellow
from this trifing punishment one of the accom-
pliees, Barzilla GiddinTs, came forward and
swore that himself and another stole the honey,
but that Sprague was not there. The evidence
was so conclusive against him however, that an
indictment was found against Giddings for per-
jury at the present term. A strong effort was
made by his friends and family, which is very
respectable to procure his aequittal, but without
effect He had been mixed up with so many
scrapes that it was impossible to get him out
of this So he was found guilty, and or Mon
day sentenced to three years in the Peniten-
tiary.
