was in the Courtroom, and was armed
with pistol with which to blow out his
brains should the sentence be the Albany
Penitentiary. But when the Clerk said,
{. What say you, guilty or not guilty?''
the fair prisoner replied, with tremu-
lous voice, "Guilty!" Then there was
scene. With the word guilty, Miss
Davenport shrieked, and threw up her
hands, and fell back into the arms of
her stalwart betrothed. The jury was
moved to tears. and the Judge hid his
face in his handkerchief 1t was half an
hour before the lady revived. The Court
imposed a fine OF 500, then she tainted
again, and the Court adjourned. Miss
Davenport and her lover returned to
Goochland the same evening, where
they were Immediately married .-Balti-
