Circuit Court Proceedings.

Court proceedings.
Nearly all of last week was devoted to
criminal cases, of which eleven were
disposed OF. George I. Bryan, Esq.
fairly eclipsed himself in his capacity
as Prosecuting Attorney. The papers
on the side of the State were prepared
in Il careful and able manner highly
creditable to himself and with ample re-
gard for the interests of the State and
justice to the prisoner. The fact that
but one acquittal is recorded speaks vol
umes in favor of the management of
Mr.. Bryan, who has had but a limited
time for preparation in most of the cases.
Captain Mercer, III efficient Sheriff,
comes in for a fair share of public COM
mendation for the excellent quiet and
order uniformly maintained in Court
during its present session. Abram
Dobbs, Esq, filled the Clerks desk with
ability and general acceptation, and
Judge Kelley sustained his previous
reputation as a Judge. The following
are the criminal cases disposed of:
John Green, for assault with intent to
kill; acquitted.
George Wolf, grand larceny; two
years in the P~enitentiary.
John Hughes, murder; three years
in the ~Penitentiary. In this case
Mr.. Bryan was ably assisted by Messrs.
DUNCAN and Stokes, of Holt county the
latter made an excellent argument be-
fore the jury.

noAe prosequi entered.
Benton Yocum, selling liquor without

William, John and James Dorrell,
