John L. Davies. Judgment by de-
fault for 81 ,513.35, and Lot Davies
and John L. Davies certified as sure
ties.
A large number Of cases were con-
tinued, and some dismissed.
In the case of the Receivership Of
Huron Furnace, the Receiver, Ezekiel
T. Jones, was ordered to continue the
furnace in blast until the stock on
hand shall have been used up. This

the Court.
THE JACKSON CASE.
A motion for a new trial in the
Jackson murder case was fully argued
on last Thursday, and on Saturday
morning Judge Trip overruled the
motion, and proceeded to pass SEN
tence. The Court Room was crowd
ed. Jackson stood the ordeal we'll,
until the conclusion, when he sat
dowt, leaned forward, put his hand
kerchief to his face and wept for
minute or two. His sister wept in the
most piteous manner, and excited
much sympathy.
The following is the sentence:
John W. Jackson, stand up. At
i the November Term Of this Court, AID.
Z 1882, you were duly indicted by the
. Grand Jury Of that Term, for the
highest crime known to the law,-for
the crime Of murder in the first
degree, for the premeditated murder
Of Samuel L. Hull, on the 30th day Of
September. Before you were required
} to plead to the Indictment you made
it appear to the Court, that you were
INDECENT, and unable to employ suita-
BILE attorneys to appear in the case on
} your behalf, and the Court, as required
by law, appointed learned and able
counsel, members Of this Bar, at
your request, who were selected by
yourself, to appear for you and on
, your behalf during the proceedings
and trial had on the charge so by the
; Grand Jury presented against you.
! After availing yourself of the as.
, sistance and advice Of your attorneys
I. Of record, you, on being arraigned, in.
!. terposed your plea of "Not guilty." te
+: both counts in the Indictment, anc
E after such plea was entered you were
: placed upon your trial before traverse
jury Of your country, which was Sc
r lected after great care and caution OF
the part of yodf counsel, in your pres
3 ence, in open Court.
l The evidence was offered before tn,
t jury, and during the progress Of you
, trial, from day to day, your counse
t were diligent to the highest degree il
3 seeing to your interests, and guarding
l your rights, and finally presented th'
3 case by argument to the jury in every
aspect, and form Of statement and ar
rangement Of the evidence most "a
vorable to you and your defense; yet
the jury, after being instructed as Il
: their duties in the premises, returned
J. a verdict of "Gui1ty as charged in th'
: indictment" Having recited thes
e matters to you, to direct your atten
: ton to the things that ought now tt
t be clearly before your mind, SO 20,
4 may, if possible, fully realize and un
t derstand the meaning and object O.
e the question the law imposes as dut,
e on the Court to PROFOUND to you OF
= this solemn occasion.
0 I now therefore inquire Of you
4 John W. Jackson, whether yol
have anything to say why judgment
}. should not be pronounced agains

:. (Here the prisoner, in firm voic
e said: II have nothing further to sa,
t than what my counsel have already

:, The solemn stiffness and silenc,
!. that now prevails while you stant
i here in open Court, in the presence O.
e all these people, as we'll as in th'
t presence of the King Of Kings ant
: Lord Of Lords, impresses the mint
| with the awful consequences to yor
! that must result from the verdict Of
, the jury and the sentence Of the
7 Court, now about to be pronounced
| against you, if such verdict and sen.
tence shall remain undisturbed by the
Supreme Court Of the State, to which
, high tribunal an appeal may be taken
to review questions of immense impor.
, tance to yourself You must remem-
ber by the commission Of the terrible
, crime you committed, and Of which
you stand convicted, you have for
feited your life.
But few are found among the many
millions in this broad land who are so
far lost to every sense Of moral and
social duty, who would, with delibera-
ton and premeditation, shed the
blood of human being.
Your hands are stained with the
