CRIMINAL COURT-JUDGE BOND
X. ii. Renshaw, Esq, prosecuting the
Esq, moved the Court to remit the fine of $50 i'm
posed yesterday upon Mr.. c. A. Talbot, the bonds
man ofRichard Pryor, indicted for an assault upon
DR.. Whiteford. Mr.. Cowan said that Mr. Talbot
was led to believe by DR.. Taylor, Pryor's physi-
clan, that Pryor was not able to be OUT he having
visited him professionally on account of a wound
on the head received by Pryor last week. If it
had not been for these representations Mr.. Talbot
would have had Pryor in Court, as he was particu-
larly anxious to do so, from the fact that he had
been fined before when Pryors case was first called
The Court said there must be some obligation
resting upon the suretes Mr.. Talbot knew that
Pryor avoided trial before, and when brought in
on bench warrant then, thought fit to 90 his Sc
curity the second time. The fine, in this case must
stand. 1t is not much for the purpose of causing
any great inconvenience to Mr.. Talbot, but to
serve as an example to other parties who may be
placed in similar condition. Mr.. Cowan.-As an
evidence of the desire of Mr. Talbot to bring the
party in and nand him over to the law would
state that he had the traverser at the Courthouse
at O'Clock this morning. Court.-The bench
warrant assisted in doing that. Mr.. Cowan.-The
beneh-warrant was not served until Pryor came
to Court in custody of Mr.. Talbot, who only
heard that the fine had buen imposed on
him, yesterday evening. Court.-Then, sir, the
imposition of the fine has had the desired
effect; it cannot be stricken out. Mr. Alexander
desired to say few words in relation to the mat
to go on with some other case.-State u.s. Eliza

Jno. Young, g,bondsman.--State as. John Hogg and
John Windsor, indicted jointly for an assault upon
Edward Cockey. Windsor's case was called at the
last term, and he, not appearing, forfeited his
cognlzance Hogg was tried before the Court. Mr.
Cockey testified that he went to First Ward polls
at the last election to vote, and when he got near
the window, Hogg put up his arms and said, ''he'd
be Cd id If he should vote" that he then
pushed out and was going away, when Hogg came
up to him and said he should vote he returned
again towards the window, in company with Hogg,
and when he got into the crowd they began to
joste him; Windsor got behind him and stabbed
him with awl; he then left the polls
and did not attempt afterwards to vote Two
witnesses corroborated MIR. Cockey's testimony

assaulted McCockey, but that he was acting in a
violent manner in the crowd, who were pushing
him about. Fined So and costs; total, Sl3.67.
Cowan for defence.--State as. John Kinsley Ben
jamin Rowe, Lewis Hoffman, Charles Rudager and
John Dodrich, three indictments, charging them
ointly-frst, with the larceny of one watch and a
chest, the property of John Rosster; second, with
the larceny of two feather BEDS pillows and boil
sters belonging to Mary Miles, and third, with the
larceny of five gold dollars, one box, breast-pin,
EARRINGS and two dOuble-barrelled mis- OILS the prop
erty of Everhardt Wolff. The parties, with the
exception of Hoffman, who has not been arrested,
were arraigned and pleaded not guilty to all the
indictments. Messrs. Cowan and Snyder appeared
for the traversers. Mr.. COwan stated to the
Court that Ki1sley and Rowe were cOnsta-
bles, and had taken the articles named in the in
dictments by virtue of writ of replevin issued
by magistrate; that Rudager was the carman
who hauled the goods after the officers had seized
them, and that Dodrich was the party to the re-
plevn bond; he did not think the State could sus-
tain the indictments under these circumstances
All the papers in the proceedings before the magis-
trate were produced and examined by the Court.
The. Court remarked that the remedy against these
parties was by civil suit, the State could not sus-
tain prosecution of this kind and directed the in
dictments quashed.-In the case of the State Us.
Richard Pryor, charged with committing an as
sault upon DR.. Whiteford, Mr.. Barry, his counsel,
entered plea of guilty. The Court then remark
ed to Pryor that it bad been represented to it by
several gentlemen, that he was now engaged in
some business and had determined hereafter to
amend his course of life. 1t was the intention OF
the Court at first to imprison him, but upon these
representations no imprisonment would be order
ed, but the Could would impose fine upon him o
$50 If he ever came before the Court again upon
a similar charge, and was found guilty, he would
be.punshed to the full extent of the Iaw.-The
Court at ~ o'clock adjourned until this morning
at 10 o'clock.
