GEORGE CHAHoON AND JouNsor
SANDS.
OPINION on THE COURT .oe APPEALS ON
TIE MOTION FOR NEW TRIALS.
New Trial. Ordered in Both Gases.

Upon the opening Of the Court of Appeals
at IL O'Clock this morning, there was very
large number of persons in attendance, drawn
thither by the announcement in the morning
papers of the fact that the opinions of the
court in the cases of George Chahoon, ESQ,
and johnson II. Sands, Esq.,, would be deiy-
cred. Immediately after the reading of the
minutes by the clerk, his Honor, Judge Nom
cure, President of the court, proceeded to de-.
liver the opinion Of a majority of its members
on the first bill of exceptions, in the case of
Chahoon, to the effect that the Court OF Hus-
tings did not err 10 refusing to remand the ac.
cused before Justice of the peace for pre-
liminary examination.
Judge Staples delivered dissenting opinion,
taxing the ground that the accused was, under
the plain construction of the law, entitled to be
taken before justice of the peace on war
rant, there TO be preliminarily examined be-
fore being sent on for indictment In This
view OF the law, Judge Staples was sustained
by Judge Christian. Judge Anderson deliver
ed an opinion sustaining the views taken by
Judge Moncure.
The court being equally divided on This
point, the action of the Hastings court in refu-
sing to summon the accused before magistrate
Tor preliminary examination is sustained
Judge Moncure then delivered the unani-
nous opinion of the court on the remaining
points embraced in the bills of exceptions. in
which the ruling of the court below was sus-
tained, except in that it erred in refusing the
motion to quash the venire facias. The court
said:
"The court is further of opinion that tho
Hastings court erred in overruling the motion
of the accused to quash the venire facias,
because the same is not in conformity TO law,
and for erors upon the face thereof"
The opinion concludes as follows:
T" Wherefore, for the error of the said Court
of Hastings in overriding the motion of the
accused to quash the venire facias as aforesaid,
it seemeth to the court here that the Judgment
aforesaid is erroneous. Therefore, 1t is con-
sidered that the same be reversed and annnlled !;
and it is ordered that the verdict rendered by
the jury be set aside, and that the case be re-
manded to the said Court of Hastings, with
directions to proceed in the manner prescribed
by law to cause another jury, duly qualified,
to come and to say whether the said George
Chahoon be guilty. &c.
In the case of johnson Fl. Sands, all the
rulings of the court below were sustained save
the one in relation to the Uenire facias. A
similar order to the above, was then entered
by the court ordering the case to the court be-
low for rehearing.

The Nutter Forgeries---A New Phase Of
the Affair.

10 the Editor Of the Press:
The Directors of the bank ID this cry tna'
has been fleeced to the tune OF Soooo Dy 1rauu-
ulent paper discounted for the use OF George
# Nutter have been on the alert for the past
two weeks to trace the fraud to the true source
,ro-dav the whole matter has been laid open
and part OF the mystery has been solved.
When tho fraud was first discovered it was
supposed that Nntter had an accomplice in the
city of Portland. The facts were made known
to gentleman in your city who Immediately
reiuted such superstition, and by his own IT,
genuity and reasoning put us on the right
track, which has resulted in bringing the
guilty party to a confession of his transgres-
slons' Edmund freeman, Esq, a Director of
the Cocheco Bank, took into custody young
man by the name of John w. Sanborn, OF
Rochester, who has been a clerk for George II.
Nutter for the past two years. lie accuseu
him of being a participator in tie DEEDS by
NLtter, which he denied. lie was taken 10
| the rooms of the bank at Dover and was there
| shown the letter which was an answer to the
| letter to Mr.. Hight, which was purloined in a
mysterious manner from the Post Office. The
| similarity of the handwriting TO his own was
so manifest that he was finally prevailed upon
to make clean breast of the whole matter,
and gave detailed statement of lis connec-
ton with Nutter and the part he had played
in his Infamous transactions. He confessed
that he had written and signed all of the
Hight notes which had been negotiated and
that no other person was in any way within
his knowledge connected with the affair. He
was in Portland on the 18th nlt and answered
the letter from Dover directed TO Mr. H isht al
the instigatlon of Nutter. How Nutter OBJ
tanned it he does not know. He offers as an
| excuse that Nutter had befriended him, and
had made him believe that no harm could be-
| fall either, for be was in position to take up
| the notes as fast as they became due, and that
he was compelled to do it to carry on his usual
business successfully until lie got through a
| tight place. He further stated that be had nc
knowledge Of the amount of paper that had
been thus negotiated and that he had received
no part of the avails. He denied that he had
| ever forged the name of John Barker, whose
| name appears to be on paper of considerable
| amOunt, which it is said will not be paid on
| maturity on account of the forgery After
| Sanborn had been thoroughly examined al
Dover, he was taken to Rochester. where it was
the intention of the officer to put him through
close questioning in regard to the bank notes
in presence of Mr. Barker himself. He says
| he has no knowledge of Nutter's whereabouts
He was present near Boston when the cashier
of the Pittsfield Bank took from Nutter by
force $4,000 Nutter then said he was going tt
New York. 1t seems that he came to Portland
that evening, and it is reported that be met hi
wife at this point and has gone to Canada. HI
has probably left behind $4,000 OF fraudulent
! paper for somebody to lose.
