Prisoner being arraigned, plead not guilty; Jury
retired for a few moments and returned verdict
of guilty. Sentence, five years to Penitentiary
and pay costs of prosecution. The prisoner stole
ahorse in Crawford County, Pa, and brought
the animal into this county. Among the con-
Trajectory reasons for apprOpriating the animal,
was, that he desired to escape the constable, who
was after him with a warrant for his arrest on
another charge. 1t was claimed by defendants
council that the true venue must be laid, and the
action brought in Crawford Co. Pa, where the
prisoner committed the larceny. Tuttle and
Burnett for defendant; Smith & Curtis for State

tiff sues for amount of damages suffered by him
caused by said Rail Road. He claimed $4,000.

was argued Monday by able counsel, Ranney,
Birchard and Hutchins, Cox Ratliff for Plan
tiff; Hitchcock, Tuttle and Tod for defendant
Verdict for plaintiff; damage, sl,9O5. Defend
ants gave notice of appeal
Besides the above trials, q large number of
motions, demands, &C., have been disposed of,
and as usual many judgements taken by de-
fault. The term thus far has been a busy one,
the Court being in session day and night. A.
great number of spectators have been in atten-
dance.
As usual the Grand Jury declare the County
Jail to be a nuisance. That was a true finding,
and should some prisoner escape from said nui-
sance, and the Sheriff be sued and damages re-
covered against him, we would not be surprised,
if the Sheriff would bring an action against the
County Commissioner and be sustained on the
ground that a nuisance was not a sufficient Jail.
The Grand Jury has also indicted Hiram
Hart, of Gustavus. as accessory to the robbery of
Mr.. Curtis of Pennington, by Gibson and KEEL
lseg.
Our readers will ~recoIlect this robbery, and
also that Kellogg escaped from our very safe Jail
some weeks since. Gibson is now out on bail.
He accused Hart, and hence the Indictment
We are told that Hart has sloped.
The trial of Robert and Thomas McWhinney
charged with the murder of their father, ispow
progressing. As we write, TUESDAY EVENING"
the witnesses are being examined. There is
very little excitement respecting it. Curtis &
Smith, and Hutchins, Cox d Ratliff for the
prosecution; Tuttle and Asper for the defence.
