1t is stated, on good authority, that
one or more deputy-constables have been
arresting persons upon magistrate war
rants, and, upon q mittimus, commit
ting them to Jail. Yesterday we saw
one of these papers, where prisoner
had been turned over to the jailer, but
the person who made the delivery did
not sign himself as an official Of any
kind whatever. 1t seems that in all le-
gal processes deputies should be required
to attach their official signature and
title. How is this? The magistrates
should be more careful.

posed OF the following cases: Henry
Hamilton (negro), murder, committed
no bail; Julia Franklin (negro), larceny,
