IA w INTELLIGENCE.

CRIMINAL CoURr.-Hon. Henry Stump, Judge.
Milton Whitney, States Attorney, prosecuting.
On the opening of the Court, a number of per-
sons appeared, to take out their naturalization pa
pers. After several had been naturalized, Mr.
Whitney stated to the Court that counsel in Millers
were present, and they would ike to hear
what disposition the Court would make of it, as
the Court had expressed some difficulty in the way
of taking 1t up to-day (Monday.)
The Court said it had expressed itself; there
was an entirely new jury summoned, and the pris-
had his right of twenty challenges, which
would consume considerable time; and again, the
Sheriff might have to summon talesmen, which
would occupy the whole morning, and then the
whole day would be taken up in getting a jury.
Then the evidence would have to be commenced on
Tuesday, which would probably take all of that
day, there being some ten twelve witnesses to
examine; even if the evidence got through
with the counsel could not finish before the jury on
that day, and the Court would be compelled to
keen the iury together all day on Wednesday,
which the day of election. Now, there has
been good deal said about depriving people of
their votes and the jury, the Court thinks, should
not be deprived of theirs The Court is of opinion
that the case ought to be postponed for these
sons, without the counsel for the defence will waive
his right of challenge and form the jury at once.
Mr.. Waters-"I never heard of that being done
SIR and certainly do not desire to set precedent
for such an act"
The Court-fW ell then, will postpone the case
until next Monday"
Mr.. Yellott-"That day was fixed for the trial of
the Cousons."
Mr.. Whitnev-"Well We will take up Miller and
Hoffmans case on Monday, for fear ything should
occur to prevent the trial Of the COulsons. Will
that suit you Mr. Waters ?"
Mr. Waters could not see how he could avoid il
the Court had fixed the day.
Mr.. Whitney remarked that Mr.. YelOtt counsel
for Hoffman present and hoped he would under
stand that Miller and Hoffmans would be called
on Monday.
MIR. Yellott said he thought it was decided to try
first and theut try
| Mr.. Whitney said that was when the State con-
sented to go trial, but they would elect on Monday
which to try first.
| Mr.. Yellott consented to the arrangement.
| The case was then postponed and the jury dis
| charged until Monday morning at ii O'Clock.
The Court at IL o'clock took a recess until the
| Grand Jury came in, when the Court recapitulateC
its proceedings as mentioned above and discharged
| them until next Monday.
| Mr.. Yellott then applied to the Court to fix the
| bail in the case of William Wooden, charged will
an assault with intent to kill George Kirby, by
| firing pistol at him, but unfortunately shooting
| boy named William Lucas.
The certificate of DIR. Geo. W. Wayson, in rela
| tion to the condition of the boy, was read by Mr.
Yelott. 1t says that the of Mr.. Lucas is doing
| well, and if Inflammation of the brain does not en-
sue, the boy will get we'll in reasonable time"
| Mr.. Whitney.-"That is, as much as to say; if th
boy don't die, he will get well, in reasonable
| time"
Mr.. Yellott, said.-Dr. Wavson was very care
x
The Court refused to fix the bail, until reliable
evidence as to the condition of the boy was pro
duced.
In the cases of John Kingsley and John Doder
lex, charged with larceny, bail was fixed at 81 500
but not given.
The Grand Jury on Saturday presented Nathan
| iel Hickman, for embezzement Yesterday morn
ing, he taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff
