In this age Of shams and humbugging,
II is really very pleasant to find place
where goods are wha. they seem TO be,
and as they are represented. Such a
place can be found at the Boston One
Price Bot and Shoe House, No. 200
Market rect, where can be found the
finest, largest and most varied stock of
boots, shoes, CATERS, low shoes and slip
pers, 10 fit all sizes Of feet, from the in
fants to The giants. We do not resort to
filling our store with empty boxes, Or to
put ing single pair in box, to lead
our customers to think we have the la
gest stock 10 select from, but we have
actually got just what we claim. We
are sole agents for Burts fine goods for
the ladies', the best make in the country ;
and Lilly, Young Il Brackett's fine goods
for the gentlemen, and these have the
same reputation as Burts. Remember
the place, Boston One Prive House, No.

Just previous to the adjournment OF

gins, Esq, into the Court room, and told
him that as he had made serious charges
against the Clerk ofthe Peace, during he
D. ogress of the trial of State Us August
Bckta and George Adele, he must now
repeat them, in order to give the Clerk
an opportunity of replying n open Court.
These charges, the Court said, were. If
true, a misleineanor, which would reGder
the Clerk liable TO an Indictment, and If
they were sustained he would order the
Auorne, .Genel a. to prepare o ..
Mr.. Higgins, in reply, stated that on
Monday afternoon he prepared his pre-
cipes OF witnesses for whom he desired
subpenas issued in the case of State vs..
George Adele, and sent them over TO
New Castle, by messenger, whs deliv-
cred them to Clerk Springer. On Tues
day morning, when he arrived at Court,
he learned the subpGnas had not been Is
sued, and on inquiring TIE reason there
fore of Mr.. Springer's Clerk, VIM Her
bert, Jr., was Informed that Mr.. Spring
er had taken charge Of the precipes. He
then went to MIR. Springer about the mat
ter, and the subpnnas were issued at II
o'clock that morning.
Edward II. Woodward stated that he
brought the precipes over for Mr.. Higgins
OF Monday night, and gave them TO Mr..
| Springer.
Mr.. Springer then addressed the Court
In substance, rs follows:
On Monday evening, Jus. as ] was
about to slep into my carriage to drive
away, a young man handed me a list of
witne ses Ito be subp1 caed, which he
said had been sent over by Mr.. Higgins.
gavJ the 1t to my clerk, Mr.. Herbert,
and told him that as Mr.. Higgins would
doubtless want the subpTnas issued AZ
soon a possible, to issue them the first
thing in the morning and hand them to
| the Sheriff.
And just he e, said Mr.. Springer, !
will state to Nodr HOnors that l have
always considered il my first duty to at
tend to the business of the Court AMI AT
torney General. Other bu mess musI
wait.
On Tuesday morning my clerk was
busy with the Attorney-Generai, and /
did not thinkanything about the subpe-
mas until Mr.. Higgins spoke to me OF
them about II O'Clock then directed
Mr.. Herhert to issue them at once.
Mr.. Herbert stated to the Court that
he had not told Mr.. Higgins that Mr.
Springer had taken charge Of The subp9
mas. He simply sid Mr.. Springer had
told him to attend TO them in the morn
ing.
Ihe Chief Justice said the affair wa,
only a misunderstanding, aud that Mr.
Springer did not omit To do anything Ia
should have dene.
Judge Wooten observed that 1t wa.
hu just to say that during Mr.. Springer
term he had always found him promp
and faithful officer.
And here the subject wa, dropped.

what varied, this morning, by the first
batch of the regular spring whippings,
the victims being persons who had been
convicted of larceny during the week,
and sentenced to the post. They were
as follows:
Sullivan Schofeld, col, for larceny,
t,n lashes,
Francisco T. Marion, the well-known
Spanish barber, of Wilmington, for lar
ceny, 20 lashes.
Peter Smith, for the larceny of towel
ten lashes.
George Waters, COL, for larceny, 20
lashes.
George S. Fisher, larceny, ten lashes.
Peter Cooper, larceny, 20 lashes.
None of these men were sentenced to
the p'llory, and therefore the exhibition
lasted only a short time. 1t commenced
at II O'Clock, with Francisco Marion at
the post, who took his 20 lashes with
composure. His back was considerably
Redeemed, but no blood was drawn.
Marion seemed to feel the disgrace OF
his punishment very keenly.
Sullivan Schofield came out chewing
tobacco, took his punishment with ar :
parent unconcern, and walked back to
his cell laugl ing.
Peter Smith took his punishment COM
posedly. His back was Redeemed.
The others took the punishment very
easily, Geo. Fisher pleasantly speaking
to an acquaintance as he walked away.
The Sheriff administered the punish
ment very equitably, all feeling the lash
considerably though no blood was drawn
IN any instance.
