LOCAL MATTERS.

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS WANTED FOR
TEN MONTHS SERVICE TO THE STATE.-Tbe
time OF The City Circuit Court was taken ND
yesterday in the trial OF the case Of An
tboDy Briggs (colOled) US. Samuel G.. Will
liams. Superintendent OF the Penitentiary,
and Others. This case Is perhaps without a
parallel In the history OF our courts, and its
progress hos been watched with consi1era.
bic interest by the legal fraternity and the
public generally. The case may be briefly
stated, as follows On the 9th day Of No
yember, 1877, the pl,ntff was convicted In
the Corporation Court OF Norfolk OF house
breaking, and sentenced to two years con-
iinement In the peniteniiary. Onth 12ih
day OF December, 1877, he was brought TO
the penitentiary and delivered TO Colonel
Samuel A. Swami, who was then superin.
tendent OF that institution. By mistake
Briggs was entered on the books as having
been sentenced on two indictments for two
years each. He was really entitled TO bis
discharge on the 18th day Of December,
1879, and had more than served out his time
when Mr.. Williams, the present suDerin-
tendent, went into office, on the 2d day Of
January, 1880. Mr.. Williams took the books
OF Colonel Swami for his guide, and the
cIIODtouS tntIl WAS DOt ul>cOVPTeu untll
the I'd OF October following. As soon as
the mistake was discovered, Superintendent
Williams promptly ordered the release OF
the plaintiff, who subsequently brought suit
against Williams for unlawful detention,
and claimed $1,000 damages therefor. The
case came up to be heard Yesterday, IS
above stated. and, after being fully argued
By counsel, was submitted to the jury. who,
after being ont for some time, rendered a
verdict for The defendant.

IittIc ANNA CraWfOrd's Case.
THE CHILD'S FATHER TEsGlFIES IL HIS 0W>
BEHALF IN THE SUPREME COURT.
New York Herald x -b.l


The examination in the case of little Anna
Louisa Crawford, alleged 10 have been
chained and cruelty beaten by her father,
Charles +. Crawford, was continued in the
supreme Court before Judge DoEOhue yes
terday. The Judge having denied motion
TO dismiss the complaint. Mr.. John r. Eel
lows, counsel for the father, put the lat.
ter on the witneSS.stand 10 tell his
story. He testified that the first oGjec-
tionablc act OF the girl was the stealing OF
pockct-boO6 containing Sl.53. He asked
her If she took it. and she first said yes, and
then no; she described several places where
She claimed TO have thrown the money. but
il could not tc found; for this act he struck
her three or four blows with Z strap. He
next missed a dollar. and she admitted she
took il aud threw it in the fire, Sayin" she
did 50 because she thought mamma was
going 10 buy him CHRISTMAS present with
1t. and she did not want him 10 have 1t.
Her next act was to set fire 10 bed. she
admitted she had done 30, and SAID
il was because she had been sepa-
rated from Il little playmate. For this
he whipped her. There was next missed a
set Of jewelry. and on this occasion he took
her to the statiOn.hOuse 10 trlghten her. On
the 18Th Of January fire occurred IN the
laundry, and she admitted Size poured some
kerosene on some clothes and with match
set fire to them. Her next experiment was
with two razlrs, which she threw in the
stove. For these and other similar acts he
whipped and chained her up. lie would
chain her up in the morning before going
10 business aud unchain her when he got
home. II wa, by advice OF his family ply
sician he tied her up with view TO break
her OF her vicious habits and TO project the
house from being set on fire by her. He had
not whipped her more than ten times during
her life, and then only because he thought
it bis duty to do so. After be discovered
Hho the guilty party was, he whipped her
10 more. The chain tie used weighed about
q pound and half.
Or. Henry c. McGonega, the family ply
sician, testified that he recommended the ~
iss of the little glrl, because he considered
her as having a mania, aud II was necessary
ior the safely Of the family from fire.
TNbe examination will be continued on
Thursday next.

That Is my story, my Lord!"
You could have heard pin drop while
the prisoner was making his statement.
The Court listened with almost brelthless
interest. When he had finished, a sort Of
half-controllcd expression OF wonder and
indignation went round, and the jury
looked up at the Judge in a bewildered
and puzzled way.
Policeman" said the Judge.
"My Lord" responded the officer.
"Did this woman speak to you, as the
prisoner says?"
"Yes, my Lord"
"And gave you the information as de-
scribedy"
"Yes, my Lord"
Was the packet OF spurious silver in his
hand, az be says?"
1t was, my Lord"
Upon the direction OF the Judge the
prisoner was acquitted, and my friend
started a subscription for him. We have
raised about go pounds for him, and hope
10 see him get over his troubles. His story
has been verified in every detail.
Such was the story narrated TO me by a
friend yesterday in response TO a casual re-
mark OF mine that great deal Of interest
ing current history OF London j. never re-
ported in the London papers. The story is
quite true; the case formed palt OF the busi-
ness OF the last sitting OF the Criminal
Court; and The victim Of loving not wisely
but too well has this week been introduced
into respectable and permanent employ
ment.
