such law.

proper TO sr2Rest % the jury the propriety OF

court
AT the CONCLUSION of Mr.. Carrington's speech
Judge Olin charged the Jury as follows:
Gentlemen of the Jury-I think il prom r To-
Hfrect your attention 10 one or TWO consider
auons IN your disposition of this case. In order
10 lay down certain principles of law, which
ycu VIII apply to the evidence Ia this case
these defendants are indicted Tor q misde-
neaHor. AL parties who engage in the COM
IN ssion of such an offence as that are deemed
III la " principals; that is, whoever co. operates
;nG HlGs IN the commission of n misdemeanor
IS guilty. as the principal; and unlike some
Oiher crimes and offences known to the law,
persons may CO operate In its perpetration and
sun Lot oe halle TO the sanle Etent as the
princlpal Is. Eos instance, in The crime OF
murder, there are = variety of grades o. Of
fences IN which Thru parties may be imphC
20 IN NEST telOnies. Bu- in this Deculia de-
scrlptlon OF chine, only XII as q misde-
neanuT, all the parties who engage in the
tFaus1ctIon-ln he perpetraliOn-are pr!pcI-
pals. Now this offence is ;or keppiug a baw-
uy- house-a house Tor the purpose Of prosti-
and these CetenGanis are both charged
with the commission OF that Off nee. You may
ind from the evidence, you shall come to
the conclusion, either of these parties guilty of
the offence, or neither OF tn m. If you find
hut one IS guilty yon may acquit the other. If
ufn verdict II yen in" nsfther i, Of s2 thsn s
GEit!ing beth the defendants
Now, hat is meant by keeping a house,
90 not suppose II necessary IN a case like this
eilher OF these parties should have bpen proved
To have lived as man aud wife; for. unlike
Iost one nst 5, a woman may be indicted and
convicted together with her husband for k-eD-
ing house Of this kind. She having taken
charge of d household as q Wo nan usually
does, she rs not 10 be considered In Ia as uader
the control Of her husband while keeping a
mouse OF that description. Neither is il naCAs-
SaIy, In my judgment 10 prove what the pre-
,ise pecunlary relations OF these parties were
10 inns lransactit n-that II is not necessary to
eSlabllsh partnership in the receipts or prof
Its OF the concern. The question is whefhar
the defendant, Burtenett,-for the sake of Illus
ratoD,-Has there, aiding in the control or
management OF this house. First, was il a
house OF prostitution! In the next place WAS
ne there cooperating with this woman in the
management OF control OF the house, knowing
Its character ! And il he was, then sapp )se
IN law ard for purposes of this trial, ON will
so regard MIN as being guilty OF the charge
contained IN the Indictment, in keeping house
OF TINS sort. All parties who concur co-op-
crate al me commission OF misdemeanor of
TINS description are principals to it. And IL
you lind from the testimony that such was the
character OF this house-that these defendants
were controlling, managing and cooperating
IN that management, each aiding the other ia
Ats conduct, you will find both guilty II is
unnecessary that the title of this house shoula
bt IN the name of one or the other of these psr-
ties. Were they there in fact, conducting this
business Was he cooperating with her in
the management OF that house? These are the
que stions: and you Will bring to this in vesti-
CATION, have no doubt, an intelligent consid-
Grafton and dis Isposition OF II.
One word further. / have regretted 10 notice
during The progress of this trial that pretty fulI
reports have been given OF the proceedings in
The public papers, but hope il has not been
done with the concur renee OF any officer ofthis
couT'. / 60 not know strictly that the court
ought 10 interfere to prevent the publishing OF
evidence and proceeding which l suppose
necessarily offensive and disgusting to the
better part of this community. But am sure
such publications answer no good purpose. ana
it may be regarded as question of taste be-
tween the Editors OF these public papers and
their readers. but still regret 10 say il Ia done
/ ihlnk the tendency is only pernicious, demor-
aliziDg, offensive and disgusting, and hope in
future il NAY be avoided in trials of this de-
scription. Now, gentlemen, yoa may take the
case and dispose OF it,
The case was then given to the jury, and in
about ten min utes they returned with q verdict
of guilty of keeping a bawdy house, and recon-
mended maude Roberts to the clemency OF the
hr. Ford made motion for a new trial in
the case OF Burtenett, and the argument Of the
motion was postponed until this morning.
The sentence of Maude was deferred also
until that time.
DESCENT UPON A GAMBLING RANcHE.-Wm
Whitney, private LIST Connecticut artillery, sta
toned at Fort Reynolds, came to this city yes
terday with S137 in his pocket, and was
uced into the gambling roems Of Crome d.

drank several times, but before leaving was

prietors OF the game, having won or obtained
his last dollar, generously gave him s. OF his
own money and started him ont this morn ing
Whitney made complaint to Capt Todd, who
pr mptly sent guard TO the place with de-
teetiye. who found the parties engaged IN ar

10 refund the money TO the soldier. Aguard
rooms and gaming apparatus, which, by order
of Capt. Todd Were seized: After TT re,nrnins ]
