aud battery upon George Vale. VIVA. Eli
lege. who was minor, appeared BY his at
torney, and plead guilty, as charged. Har-

and plead not guilty, and had his trial.
Upon the trial it appeared tina. the minor
committed the assault and battery, in the
presence Of and upon the order OF his faith

limits OF IIaeklebarney, where native JUS

the father gs4s.ty. This looked to us good

him swap, and can only reconcile the de-
