with large piece of cinder, taken from a black

The case of John Hinesey, indicted for at.
tempting to sell slaves out of this State. was fixed
for Friday rs. John Council, indicted for
an assault upon police officer Fassit. The .traver-
ser having been tried at the Saturday Court
/ nd frrJlfy of
the Court ordered a plea of not guilty to
be entered.--State VS. Samuel McElwee charged
with assauting with cowhide Charles Kelly, a
clerk in the employ of Dougherty, Woods Co.
The offence committed last week at the Marsh
market space. r. c. Barry, Esq, counsel for the
traverser, said he was charged with simple as
sault, he would plead guilty. The Court desired
to hear the testimony, and several witnesses were
examined, whose statements virtually the
same those published in the papers the day after
the occurrence. After the testimony was elected,
Mr.. Barry remarked to the Court that there was
doubt of the evidence of the assault and further
said that he could offer justification for the use
of a cowhide; it was improper implement for
one man to apply to another, and thought the
Court could not justify its in this case, nowih-
standing the expressions attributed to his Honor by
newspaper paragraphs few davs since; but as
Mr.. McElwee must have made mistake as to the
identity of the person whom he had supposed had
wronged and insulted him, and as he had been sus-
pended from his position in the Customhou and
what had transpired-and as he was not likely to
come into the Court again, he hoped the Court
would not infiict too heavy punishment. The
| Court said that it certainly aggravated and
unjustifable assault, and as Mr.. Barry had taken
occasion to remind him of the expressions attribu
ted to him by the newspapers, he would remark
that he had stated in the case of Madison, for an
assault upon Mr.. Carter at The Exchange Office
that the newspapers had right to publish all
public matters, but right to bring a mans pri-
vate business before the public; that if party felt
himself aggrieved by publication in a newspaper
and would call and demand retraction, and would
be refused, he thought that, though the public
might justly party libeled or wronged in the
use OF the cowhide, the Court certainly could not
and had not so stated. The Courts Judgment in
the case of Madison, where he drew pistol upon
Mr. Carter at The Exchange office, was sufficient to
indicate that it entertained such sentiments.
The Court labored under difficulty, from its posi-
ton, OF correcting newspaper paragraphs, and
could assure Mr.. Barry that it did not mind much
what was said In them. The Court would not take
heed of what was hereafter said but would try to
do its duty In this case the Court thought the
assault was most aggravated and uniustitabe,
and would fine the traverser $50 and COSTS
