CoURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Fsl
Term Of the Court Of Common Pleas sd
journed on Thursday night until Friday,
Nov, 81, when the Court will again meet
to dispose cf some criminal business. The
term Just closed has boen an exceedingly
busy and laberious one. The Court was
held from an carly hour 10 the morning
until late night, and business despatched
with great rapidity, and with satisfaction to
htigants and to the Bar. Judge McIlvaine
stands descrvedly high in this community
and with this Bar. His opinion in the
Boyd case, and again his reasens for grant
ing new trial in the case of Ohio rs. Bry-
su, struck US especially as being very clear
and logical.
On Thursday night Lutler Ewes, convict
ed of borsestealing-Patrick Green, con.
victed OF grand larceny-and Alexander
Lucas, convicted of breaking into Mr..
Armstrong; store, were bro ght into Court
snd sentenced Ewes gees to the Peniten-
tiary for four years--Lucas one year, snd
Green two years Thomas Quilan, q little
tad, who looks like he is ouly about dozen
years old, was sent to the Reform Farm at
Lancaster, for stealing mule belonging to
James Gates Lucas was very much af.
