officer seized Mcfarland and took him to
the station house. Richardson was taken
to his room, where the ball was extracted,
and subsequently removed to his residence.
Samuel Sinclair this morning, counsel for
Richardson, stated to the court that his
client declined to make any charges against
the prisoner, and he was discharged.
