The DAVIS CAsE.-The Court of Appeals
Of this State, to which the case of Joseph
Davis, convicted by the Circuit Court Of Wash.

Lynn, in this county, in April last, was ap.
pealed upon exceptions to some of the rulings
Of the lower Court, have refused to reverse
any Of the decisions Of that Court, and, con.
sequently, a new trial was not granted. This,
Of course, leaves the Circuit Court no Other
alternative than to pronounce sentence Of
death upon the unfortunate young man, and
the appointment by the Governor Of day fol
the execution, or the interposition of his pre-
ogative--commutation or pardon.
The Hagerstown Daily Ne,rs, says The
decision Of the Court was communicated tC

manner upon the most triAing subjects. Som
Of these visitors are becoming annoying an,
are quite out Of place. Sheriff Bamford pro
poses in the future to refuse admission TO al

There has been much diversity Of opinion a
TO where Davis would be executed, whethe
here, where he was convicted, or in Carroll
the county where the crime was committe,
and from whence the case was removed. w

after having received sentence, to be returne,
to the county from whence the case was re
