A New PoINT OF LAW RAIsED.-Last
week Frank Giles was tried by the Police
Justice on the charge of stealing cloak from
another colored man. The evidence of guilt
seemed positive, and accused was accord
ingly found guilty and sentenced to Jail.
Subsequently evidence was produced in court
which went far to establish the innocence OF
Giles. The Police Justice was of opinion
that having rendered his judgment he could
not reconsider and grant new trial, or al.
low an appeal to the Hastings Court, no mo.
tion for appeal having been made by prisoner
at the time. The Police Justice certified the
facts of the case to the Governor in an appli.
cation made by prisoner invoking executive
clemency, but the Governor has not inter-
fered, believing, as is understood, that the
remedy is with the courts. Prisoners
counsel, MIR. Samuel NJ. Page, has applied to
Judge Wexford for naanddnus to compel
the Police Justice to allow an appeal to the
Hastings Court.

was counterfeit. Shepherd said that it
was not, but at the same time began to re-
treat, but little knot of persons had by that
time collected around him, and they would
not allow him to depart until Captain Dis
ney came up and took him into custody. The
note in question was very clumsiy fixed on

LOCAL MATTERS.

A MARRIAGE BROKEN OFF-THB BRIDE
ELECT ROBBED AND Observation-Disclosures night
William &. Parker, stonemaSon Of thirty
years of age, and a young widow, whose
name is withheld at her urgent equest, left
Washington, d. c., for Richmond to be mar
ricd. They had been acquainted about
eighteen months, and the course of their
love ran very smoothly. Parker displayed
extraordinarily great affection, and acquired
sufficient influence over her 10 induce her to
consent to run off with him. Without the
knowledge of her mother, she gathered up
her clothes anu icwelry and started to this
CITY with her atlianced husband. The jour-

chain (worth $50, and therefore had better

Eor his foresight and kind consideration she
turned the watch and chain over to him.
Upon the arrival of the train at Richmond
both got off on the platform, and telling her
to wait minute he went away, as she thought

they would go TO his aunt'S here (he called

for him long time. The train left for Pc
tersburg; the crowd disappeared from the
der6t, and he came not. Day dawned, and
the morning was ushered in cold and bright,
and yet he remained absent, and she paced
up and down the platform alone.
Having remained at the deL0t three
or four hours, she went forth
and made search for the abscondiDg
Parker, but in vain. She then inquired her
way 10 the Second station-house. She had
no money her clothes were in Parker's
trunk, and she was hungry and friendless.
Captain Disney provided for her wants, and
Justice Crutchfeld issued warrant for the
arrest Of Parker on the charge Of obtaining
property on false pretences. Though close
search was made for Parker, he could not be
found. He may be here now enjoying the
proceeds of his robbery, or he may have left
for the South on the very train which brought
him to Richmond.
The young widow returned to Washing
ton yesterday. Captain Disney procured for
her ticket as far as Quantico, and the butch
ers Of the Second Market contributed enough
money to pay her way from Quantico to
Washington. During her stay here she i'm.
pressed the officers with the belief in her re.
spectabllity and in the grossness Of the out
rage which she has suffered from one from
whom she had every reason to expect love
and protection.
If Parker is arrested she has promised to
return to Richmond and give such testimony
before the courts as will vindicate her out
ragged affections, and cause him to be visited
with condign punishment.
