ing to the arraigning of parties recently In.
dicted, lively little collaquy unexpectedly
occurred. Mrs. Lockwood arose aud said that

habit of telling the prisoners under their
charge that when they came up to the court,
unless they pleaded guilty, they would receive
double sentence IL they stood " trial and
were convicted. She thought that in all cases
the party accused should be left to his own
conscience IN pleading aud she presumed that
word from the court would be sufficient 20
correct this practice. In the case Of Fanny
Smith, or Indian Fanny, she had been in.
formed by Der that tho guards told her that
unless she pleaded guilty she would get eleven
