EX-OO.LLECTOR NOLEN.
Sentenced to Stc Months Isssprtsonnsss

Sentenced to Stc Months Isnprisonnssmt
and the Payment of$4.994 70.
In the U. s. Circuit Court, yesterday
morning, Judge Bradford presiding, Dr..
VIM. D. Nolen, late Collector of the Port of
Wilmington, who recently pleaded "guilty"
to charge of embezzling Government
funds was brought up for sentence.
Judge Bradford stated that the sentence
had been deferred from time to time in Or
der to await the result of the efforts of the
accused to secure pardon, but no further
postponement of sentence could be made.
He, therefore, sentenced the prisoner to re.
imburse the Government to the extent of
S4,994.75, The amount embezzled, and to be
imprisoned for six months, ending May %,
1877. This is the lightest sentence allowed
by the law, the term of imprisonment for
such offences raLging from six monts to ten
years, according to the discretion of the
Court.
DR.. Nolen was very much affected during
the proceedings, and scarcely more so than
the Court and all present.
In the afternoon the prisoner was taken
to New Castle.
The efforts TO procure pardon will be
renewed, and If bis friends can raise money
enough to reimburse the Government, the
application will, in all probability, be sue
cessful.
