Edward Mitchell, Samuel @. Flanagan Hugh
O'Brien, and John Gardner, charged with conspi-
racy 70 defraud, were tried this morning, The
Commonwealth alleged that these parties had
combined and taken an establishment in Laurel
street, Ostensibly 70 carry on an honest trade in
the rendering out and sale OF tallow, their real
intention, however, being to cheat and defraud.
The programme was to put small quantity of
tallow in barrel, on that a large quantity OF clay
or dirt, and on that another layer of talOw, so
that at either end the barrel would appear TO be
filed with tallow. This original idea seemed, TO
a certain extent, TO have been acted upon, as
several barrels of the bogus article wore shown
TO have been sold at the market price per pound
for talOw and the discovery having been made
of the fraud, all the parties were arrested.
The combination or conspiracy 10 perpetrate
this fraud was not clearly made out, and as this
was the gist Of the case, the jury acquitted.
Charles w. Brooke Esq, for defendants.
Jurors were discharged from further attend
anee, aud the Court was adjourned till 10
morrow.
Jurors who have been summoned to attend
this Court for the second period Of the December
Term, commencing Monday next, December 26,
will attend, when they will be discharged until
Tuesday, January g. 10 which day the Court will
be adjourned.
