The Circuit Court

Adjourned on Saturday evening, after
very laborious term for the Judge and bar
1t commenced with one hundred and fifty
four civil and forty criminal cases on the
docket; one hundred and thirteen civil
cases were decided and forty-one only con-
tinucd, and these for want of preparation
on the part of the litigants. The criminal
causes were all disposed of, and Mr.. Shank
lin who has discharged the duties of
Prosecutor with ability and industry, sue
ceeded in convicting ten of the rogues and
sending them for various terms to the PEN
itentiary. In taking leave of Judge Smith,
at the close Of his last term, the bar unan-
imously rendered him their regrets that their
relations, pleasant and satisfactory to them,
had terminated. Ia these sentiments the
public will heartily unite Our wishes and
hopes are that the course OF. his successor
may not deepen these regrets and give us
occasion to refer to the last two years, as the
e golden days of the court.
-'esThe following is list of the criminals
sent TO the Penitentiary which forms the
largest delegation ever sent at one term of
the court from this county. 1t will add
something to the strength of the appeal for
new Penitentiary.

bed comfort from DR.. Fischer, in the
Bayou, was sent up for three years and six

lad anything to say why sentence should

nothing in particular, Judge, only there is q
little too much of it,"

Awful Scene.

On Friday, April 5th, George Stovall, a
man over fifty years Of age, who had been
a Baptist minister, was hung in the Parish
Prison, at New Orleans, for the murder
Of his mistress, Mary Ann Durand. The
circumstances Of the murder were as fol-
lows:
Stovall, after two or three days debauch,
in which his victim joined, at an early
hour in the day, in the month Of October
last, attacked her with razor, inhiciing
several gashes on her face and bosom, and
cut her fatally and horribly around the
neck. According TO his own confession,
he had deliberately perpetrated the mur-
der,-if deliberaton could be praeticed
under such circumstanCes-for the pur-
pose Of preventing her leaving him 10 be-
come common prostitute, as she declar.
ed she intended. He alleged that he
meant TO destroy himself al the same time.
and did actually make an attempt 10 drown
himself in well on the premises. His
conduct has since justified this assertion
and another, that he did not make any ef
fort to escape after the murder.
The Plcayune says:
In the expectation that the appeal 10
Executive clemency would Se in vain, the
Sheriff delayed The execution of the sem
tenee till after IL o'clock, but at that hour
it was definitely ascerlained that The sem
ienee would not be commuied. Shortly
after IL, the prisoner, dressed in white,
and attended by his religious advisers, was
led to the spot where the fatal trap had
been prepared. His step was firm, and
his appearance venerable and imposing.
Directed by motion he took his seat, and
the execuiioner adjusted the fatal moose.
The prisoner then said /:
