CRIMINAL COURT-JUDGE BOND
Mr. Flnkney moved the Court to quash an indict-
ment against Lewis Hoffman, who was CHARGED
with larceny, and who had been tried and acquitted
OF the charge. Motion granted William Pink
ney Whyte, Esq, called the attention of the Court
to the case of James w. CLANCY, who had been ar
rested on Thursday night at a house on Calvert
street charged with gambling and held under re.
cognizance to appear at this Court on the 7th of
July to answer the charge. MIR. Whyte said that
Chaney was resident of Winchester, Va and
was on visit to the city at the time of his arrest
and although he was in the house, yet be was not
engaged In gaming at the time. 1t appeared
from the statement of Marshal Kane to the Court
that CLANCY had been arrested that night to
be held as witness in the case; he was not en-
gagged In the game, and the knowledge of the Off
GERS was sufficient testimony in the case Mr.
Whyte asked the discharge of Chaney as there
was no proof against him of gaming or to allow
him to give new bail to answer any charge at the
next term OF the Court, there was no term of
the Court on the 7th of July. After consultation
