all very suddenly replaced in the Clerks Office
Here dilemma. Two indictments for the
same ofense, were hanging over his head one of
them was ordered to be tried in Nevada county, the
other was not. Barbour had choice, he preferred
Nevada, and elected to be tried there. The papers
were certified up as directed by tho Court, and
nolc pros entered by the Dist. Atty. upon the
last Indictment.
In 1855, think at the February term, the case
was called up in the Court of Sessions of Nevada
county. 1 was on hand as Q. matter of course
Buckner Hill appeared as counsel for Barbour,
and that interchangeable and able lawyer, A. A. Sar-
gent, Esq, in behalf of the People. Every mped-
iment which the learned counsel for Barbour could
invent vas thrown in the way to prevent trial
but tie Court being composed of honest, sensible
w.en, overruled every objection, qurk and quibbe,
which the ingenuity of the counsel OF defendant
raised, and ordered the case to proceed. Finding
that conviction stared him in the face, and that the
penitentary would be his doom, if trial were had,
and finding that he had Court to deal with that
understood the law, and knew no friends or enemies
whilst in the discharge of their sworn duties-that
cared not whether the person under trial wore
standing or falling shirt collar broad cloth, or
a home spun coat-whether he occupied prominent
position in life or no position at ALL say, finding
that he had either to go to trial before such court
and receive at its hands his just deserts or remove
the case to some other county he choose the latter
course and, thereupon, having been foiled in his
every effort to stave it off, he again filed an aida
Wit setting fourth that, inasmuch as all the wit
nesses in the case resided in Yuba County, and as
the crime, charged in the indictment, was alleged
to have been committed in the latter county, and,
as the prejudices against him had considerably aba
ted, he humbly petitioned the court to send the
papers back to Yuba County, that he might be tried
there. Mr.. Sargent being, no doubt, anxious to
get rid of the case and also anxious to Nevada
county large expenditure of money, consented to
Barbours proposition, and the case was. ordered
back for trial in Yuba.
This ended the second act of the great drama,
entitled " The People VS.. VIM. T. Barbour"
The 3d. 4th and 5th Acts will give you next week;
I will then show you '.rHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
BEING GoRED BY YOUR Ok AND MY BULL and give
you some insight IN matters pertaining to the Su-
preme Court of this State, which you and your rea
ders little dream of.
