MAY CIVIL AND CRIMINAL TERM, 1876, sYMoNDs,
j., PRESIDING.
FRIDAY.-State vs.. Alexander Scott (alias Alexan-
der McCluskey) and Peter Dean. Robbery from the
person of Nicholas Moore.
Alexander Scott gave substantially the same ac-
count of what transpired in the company of Moore
during the afternoon as Dean did. He testified that
in McGlinchy's and Murphy's saloon Moore threw
his coat off and stood at the bar facing Murphy;
that Moore then tore his shirt open to show what
kind of built man he was; that Dean picked up
MoOre's coat and held it in position for Moore to
put it on that then Moore turned, and with his fist
shut gave Dean a thump in tie mouth; that Moore
then whirled and hit him (Scott; that he returned
the compliment and hit Moore; that he then ran
around the stove, Moore following him; that when
he found he could not escape Moore, they both
clinched, they then being near to the door between
the shop aud back room; that both fell, Scott top
SO that their feet in the front shop and bodies
in the back room; that Moore sung out Enough
oh, my eye'; that Dean grabbed Scott, AMI Andrew
McGlinchy said, IT would not strike him any more'' ;
that Scott said all right if he lets me alone that
they then made it all right by calling for the drinks
Scott denies that he took any money saw anybody
take any from Moore. He accounts for having the
knife, which was fonnd on him by the officer, by
saying that he heard Moore say if any undertook
to arrest him, he would shave CUTS" and he was
afraid of Moore and got his knife from him under the
pretence that he wanted it to cut tobacco with.
VIM. Murphy, called by the Government, testified
that Moore slapped respondents in friendly way,
and Scott knocked Moore into the dark room; that
on getting light and going tc them, he thought
Dean and Scott were lingering around Moore's
pockets.
A number of police officers testified to the bad
reputation of each of the respondents for truth and
vsracity.
Llewellyn Kidder, Recorder of Municipal Court,
produced the records of the Court, showing that
Scott has been convicted of an assault upon one
David Crocker and of intoxicaton and disturbance;
and showing that Dean was convicted of an assault
and battery upon William Price. This testimony
was admitted affecting the credibility of the re-
spondents as witnesses. Verdict guilty.

OUR MUSICIANS ABRoAD.-A correspon dent
Of the Transcript writing from Florence has
the following kind words for some of our Port
land people:
Miss Ella Lewis, possessed of delicate So
prano voice and remarkable talent, has pursued
her studies to great advantage, under the same
able master with Mr.. Sweet, and sings with a
clearness of execution, and finish of express
sion that never fail to charm alike the cultured
and the. uncultured. Her unusually sympa-
thetic tones, though oftimes tremulous and
low, are of that rare, limpid sweetness, that
appeals to the heart, even more than to critical
intelligence. She recently sang delightfully."-
the Bolero from the Sicilian Vespers; and with
the pleasure it called forth, was mingled gem
eral regret that it had not been twice as long.
This young lady, in addition to her own natu-
raj gifts, came abroad with the inestimable ad-
vantage of a foundation in Signor Vannuccin's
pure method, given to her by Mr.. bennett, a
former pupil of this great master. In the mu-
steal reunions of this winter, we miss Mr..
Stoekbridge's sweet tenor, and Mrs. Bennett
highly cultivated and delightful contralto.
