The trial of James F Melvin, for
an assault with intent to kill Robt. J.
Jump, on the 10Th of last July, was
brought to a sudden close on Friday
last by agreement of counsel and the
parties concerned The trial was be-
gun on Wednesday and closed as stated
On Thursday the courtroom and lob
bies were packed with persons from
all parts Of the county anxious to hear
the trial, and interest was undated to
the end. The prosecution abandoned
the first count in the indictment, which
was assault with intent to kill, and ask
ed a verdict of guilty on second count
of the indictment, assault and battery
which was rendered by the jury with
out leaving the box. The merits of
the case are as well known 10 our read
ers generally as to ourselves, and we
will not rehearse the evidence as given
in Court ; suffice it to say, the compro-
mise is generally conceded to be the
wisest course that could have been pur-
sued in the settlement of this case. The
convicted party was fined 81 and costs,
and sentenced to Imprisonment in the
county jail for 90 days.-Caroline
