LAW INTELLIGENCE.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT Court. Tho
Grand Jury in this Court, after session Of
sixteen days, and after bringing in eight or
ten very important indictments, were yester-
day discharged. Their last official act was the
finding Of true bill against Charles Klemm,
the young man alluded to in late issue Of
this paper as having been arrested for robbing
the United States Mail.
VIM. Bruson, charged and indicted for offer
ing bribes to Lieut.. John Christopher, and
whose name figured last week in some trump
ed-up charges against the Union Defence Com
mittee, vas arrested yesterday aud held in
S22,0oo bail for appearance from day to day.
The Petit Jury lately summoned for the
United States Circuit Court will convene to-
day.
A LIBEL CAsE.-Judge Higgins of the supe-
rior Court, was yesterday engaged In trying
libel case to which is attached some little in
tcrcst. II was i suit Of s. Buck Us. J. Hack
ett. The parties live in the country, aud it
would appear that the plaintiff in the present
cause had been arrested, charged with tue lar
ceny OF COW. The act, from defect in the
evidence, or some other reason, was not sub-
stantiated, when Buck turned about and sued
Hackett for defamation Of character. as the
matter is rather stale, the alleged libel having
occurred some time since, the evidence would
prove nninterestiDg to the general reader,
The closing plea Of the counsel was made last
evening, and the case given to the jury with
instructions to return sealed verdict at nine
o'clock this morning. Van Buren for the pros.
ecution, Messrs. Waite and Town for the de-
fepse.
