EXECUTION ut Pe,nbInn.

CHICAGO, March ga Pembina letter dated
March gives the particulars of the execution
of man named Scott. At the time the Schultz
party were captured in mdwinter, Scott, a
Canadian, was of the party, and he, it is said,
had been released on parole.
At the time Major Boulton and Schultz were
camped at the Scottish Church, Scott joined
Boulton and Schultz the same evening he was
released A few days thereafter, when Boslton's
command was captured, Scott was taken with
arms in his hands. In due time a court-martial
convened and Scott was tried and found guilty.
He was shot in front of Fort Garry.
All is quiet in the Red River settlement now.
Bishop Taske had arrived.
There is no doubt that Goldy was also shot, as
previously reported

pointed him out to his son as the thief Jen-
ninps became alarmed at this sort of treatment
and started for the door, when he was brought
to a halt by the presentation of pistol in the
hands of the junior Warren. He got out of the
door, but was Immediately captured and held
until policeman took him in charge
He was examined before Judge Schooner, and
held to answer the charge of grand larceny iu
the sum of $1,000. Mr. Warren was positive
of the identity of the thief. The grand jury on
the same evidence found a bill against him, and
on tuesday the trial commenced and closed
yesterday. The evidence was clear that Smith
Jennings and the ring thief were not one and
the same persons. Long swore positively that
he was with him all the time from their arrival
in the city up to the time they parted at the
boat on the afternoon of the 18th. Other wit
nesses substantiated this, and clear case of
alibi was proved. The case was submitted to
the jury without argument, and after q very
brief absence they brought in a verdict which
stated that they the jury, 'do hereby agree not
to find the defendant guilty" Judge Primm
demanded to know the meaning of such a YER
dict, and it was amended so as to read mot
guilty" The prisoner retired profoundly con.
vinced that there was danger in city where a
thief looked the counterpart of himself

A Whole Family Stricken with SmaIl-pOx-A
MOIhGr and Child Dead In the House nt the
same Time.
The Louisville Journal of Wednesday pub
lishes this painful narrative
Yesterday man, who gave his name as
Leonard IinoblemaH, applied to the health Off
GERS for permit and assistance to bury his wife
and child. The story of the man, told in plain
simple words, revealed terrible case of want
and suffering. The entire family, with the
exception of himself, had been attacked by that
most loathsome and terrible disease, smallpox
The neighbors, dreading contagiOn, would rem
der no assistance, and, being too poor to hire a
nurse, he was compelled to quit his work aud
attend to them as best he could.
His little means soon gave out and the family,
sick as they were, actually suffered for the COM
monest necessaries of life. Monday night his
wife and one of his children, an infant, died.
Friendless and penniess, he was forced to apply
TO the public charity for the means to pay the
last sad rites to the loved and lost. He stated
that he had not a single cent, and that there was
not particle of food in the house. An investi-
cation of the matter proved that his sad story
was true in every respect. The dead were buried
and assistance rendered the living. The family
live on Clay street, between Broadway and
Laurel.
In this connection, we would call the attention
of the proper authorities to the fact that owing
10 the want of proper vehicle to carry small
pox patients to the pest house, they are COM
PEELED to remain in the city, thus causing the

Rule on behalf of James O'Conner, prosecutor,
to show cause why execution shall not issue
against the city for costs.
The bill of Indictment which charges the
defendants, Tack ct dL with conspiracy, was
called for trial in April, 1868, and has endorsed
thereon the following entries:-April %, 1865
The jury unable to agree, and discharged by the
Court from the further consideration of the
case; January 26, l969-Verdict, not guilty, and
county pay costs. The prosecutors costs, as
taxed by the Clerk, amount to $2729'6S. To
enforce the collection of this claim the present
rule has been taken.
The act of the 31st of March, 1860 provides
that 'in all cases of acquitas by the petit jury,
on indictments aforesaid (other than felony,
the jury trying the same shall determine by
their verdict whether the county or the prose-
cutor or the defendant shall pay the costs, or
whether the same shall be apportioned between
the prosecutor and the defendant, and in what
proportion" In this case the jury have deter
mined that the costs shall be paid by the county,
and this, in the case of Baldwin VS.. The Com
monwealth, 2 Casey, III, was held TO include
cosss which had accrued at previous terms of
the court, as we'll as the costs of the term at
| which the case was decided.
Upon the verdict, which was recorded as of
| the Goth of January, 1869, no judgment has been
entered There Is finding, or, in the language
| OF the act, determination by the jury that the
county should pay the COSTS Is this, under the
| law of the land, a conclusion of the whole mat
! ter? or does the verdict as to payment of costs
require the approval by the court, In the form of
an order or judgment entered thereon, before
execution can issue, at the instance of the pro-
secutor, for the collection of his taxed costs? If
this was the case of averdict of acquittal, with
direction by the jury that either the prosecutor
or the defendant should pay the costs, it will
hardly be pretended that until the flnding of the
jury had been followed by judgment or SEN
tence the mere verdict could be enforced
by attachment, and commitment in default of
payment.
We speak of successful prosecution of a de-
fendant charged with the commission of
crime, as having been convicted and sentenced.
In the case of York County vs. Dalhousen,
Wright, 375 the court say both ingredients are
necessary to accomplish a final result. They
are distinct acts or processes towards result.
The one is the act OF the jury, and the other the
act of the court The conviction and the SEN
tence are each liable to be attacked, and tested
separately-one for errors in the trial or mis-
takes by the jury, and the other for errors in the
judgment.
Chief Justice Thompson, in the case last cited,
quotes from Blackstone, vol. 4, page 369, as
defining the term convicted" which is, finding
the prisoner guilty in manner and form as he
stands indicted. But this conviction is not a
final determination. It may be set aside and

An Unpleasant Advenlure-A Young Man Inn
prisoDed, and After several Months Proves
nm Alibi.
The st. Louis Republican of Thursday says:-
In the Criminal Court yesterday a singular
case of mistaken identity, linked with strong
circumstantial evidence was developed. Smith
Jennings, young man of respectable parentage
and connections, living at Bellevue, Calhoun
OF his named James Long, on October 18th,
1869. They stopped at u clearinghouse kept
by Mr.. w. B. Thompson, near the stock yards.
After supper they visited the theatre, and after
returning went to bed between eleven and
twelve O'clock About eight o'clock next
morning, and after breakfast, they took
stroll about the North Missouri
stock-yards, being somewhat acquainted there.
After a short stay there they took the cars for
the Iron Mountain stock-ysrds. Returning from
there, they concluded to take passage on the
steamer Baird for Clarksville. Jennings here
parted with his friend Long, and agreed to meet
him at the boat before starting tlme-4 o'clock.
The time OF starting arrived, but Jennings did
not make his appearance, and Long concluded
to wait for him. He hunted number of places
in vain, and finally concluded he had given him
the slip and started home. On Friday morning
he went in search of him to ClarksVille and not
finding him there, returned here on Sunday
By this time he had come to the conclusion
that he had fallen into some of the
seductive snares which are supposed to beset
rustic youths in large city. He visited police
the name of his friend. Here he gave up the
hunt and returned to Bellevue, where he was
rigIdly interrogated by Mr.. Jennings as to the
whereabouts of his son. He told him all, and the
father Immediately came TO the city. Here he
hunted every place where he thought the young
man might be found, in vain. He visited and
made inquiries at Alton. Hearing nothing
there, he went to Clarksville, where letter
from his son met him, telling him that he was
in jail for stealing some rings, but that he was
innocent of the charge. The father Immediately
came to the city and bailed him out. Smith
Jennings had been incarcerated there nine days.
About o'clock in the afternoon of the day
that young Jennings and Long arrived in st.
Louis, young man who must have borne a
remarkable resemblance to Jennings visited
Mr.. w. l.. Warrens jewelry store on Washing
ton avenue, and asked to look at some plain
gold rings. Three were shown him, and while
Mr.. Warren's attention was temporarily turned
away, the young man managed to abstract two
OF the gold rings, and replace them with rings
of brass, very similar. He was remembered by
Mr.. Warrens father.
Next day, during the afternoon (and after
Jennings had parted with Long at the boat,
| Smith Jennings, in strolling up Washington
avenue, concluded to purchase ring, and, un-
! fortunately, went into Mr. Warren's store.
There he called to look at some plain gold rings
The elder Mr.. Warren, on the lookout for the
] ring thief of the previous afternoon, at once
