THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Our report of the proceedings of the pres

On that day Hugh Warren, convicted Of hav
ing purchased stolen goods, received the sen
tence of the Court, which was to pay fine Of
three hundred and fifty dollars and the costs
in the case, or go to the penitentiary for one
year. He chose the former, and on Friday
paid the fine, whereupon he was discharged
The remainder of the day, until seven o'clock
P. NJ, was consumed in arguing the motion
to enjoin the County Commissioners of York

drink at the time it is alleged he inflicted the
fatal wound. The State was represented by

fair and impartial trial and an able defense
by his counsel, the prisoner was found guilty
of murder in the second degree, and was sen
fenced by the Judge to the penitentiary fol
