GONG Scorr FREE-"A few days ago"
says the Bulletin, "the British bark Lady
Blackwood arrived in this port from Callao,
Peru. 1t appears she had on board three
men, named William Shaw, T. Cassi ly and
L. Stafford who, few days after leaving
Callao, are said to have committed robberies
to the amount of $l2G. When the bark ar
rived here, information of the matter was
conveyed to the police Office, when officers
Niekerson and Gilman went on board and
arrested the men, who were arraigned in the
Police Court, on a charge of grand larceny.
Judge Coon, however, decided that he had
no jurisdiction Of the case, as it occurred on
the high seas and the men were thoreupon
discharged
Subsequently, an attempt was made to
prosecute them before U. S. Commissioner
but as soon as it appeared that the crime had
been committed on a British ship, the Com
missioner answered that he also had no iu
risdiction in the ease and that the orly thing
that could be done would be to apply to the
British consul, who could order the men to
England to be tried. On application to tn,
consul he replied, that, to send the accused
home, would cost more than it would com,
to, and therefore he could do nothing. The
alleged thieves are, therefore, now going
about the streets"

be construed into a violation Of the Sunday

the suburbs were well patronzed, which fact
in itself is proof positive that the omnibuscs

REMARKABLE CAsE.-We have heretofore
noticed the case of Ransford Daniel, of Roanoke
county, Va, who was convicted of an out age upon
his own daughter, chiefly on her testimony, hut
was afterwards granted new trial and acquitted
the "irl and her mother having acknowledge ped
that they swore falsely. A correspondent of the
Lvnchburg Courier says:
IL is said that the JOY of the innocent man was
almost beyond bounds when he was released
He mourned and shed tears for his persec utors,
and jumped and shouted, and clapped his hands
for JOY that he had escaped the thunders Of a
punishment which would have fallen so heavily
on the innocent. Verify, il is better that ninety
nine whom we believe TO be guilty should esca pc
than that one innocent man should be punished
This plot originated with the mother, and was
agreed to by the child, so that they might get
the old man out OF the way, when they proposed
taking up with two animals, in the form, but
lacking the morals of men.
