that there l. no saeh instance of hereditary force

Judge Grason On Saturday last, the applications
being for the release from the county jail Of Geo.
y. Terrell and John Thompson, for swindling on
the Baltimore county fair grounds, by selling
packages purporting TO contain money, but which
In fact only contained soap. The Court released
the parties from jail, stating that the eaenss
charged vas not the subject Of indictment, and
therefore the parties could not be confined in jail.
