Charles II. MAIDEN, aged 20, was tried in
the General Sessions yesterday on an indict-

into a dwelling. Mrs. Eliza MAIDEN, bis mother,
Was the complainant and only witness for tho
people. She was almost borne to the witness
stand, and after she was seated her whole franc
trembled. This continued during the prellml-

task OF describing her sons infamy. She then
limited rather than told how his waywardness,
ingratitudc. aud disobedience had gradually de-

had been exhausted. but the parents did not

James II. MAIDEN, the father, recOuntcd to Re-
