Judge O'Ferrall and Maj. Haas, and the defend
ant by Judge Sheffey and VIM. B. Compton,
Esq. In speaking of Judge Shsffey's able de-

led like champagne" but unfortunately the

RELEAsED.-We noticed the fact some time
since that John Edward Maybush of this coun-

of Richmond and sentenced to imprisonment
for oneyear in Jail, for having procured young
man to swear that the young lady, a daughter
of the man with whom he boarded was q
years old, that he might get license to marry
her. His counsel took an appeal to the Court

the reflection that "alls well that ends well.''
