The Dallas weekly herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1885, 1882-01-26

Judgment vas rendered this morning in
the case of Noumberg, Kraushauer q Co.
VS.. Wallace, of Terrell, for 81, 100, and order
Of sale of the attached goods.
In the criminal department there is not
much of interest left, and there will be
probably no contested cases tried during
this term, which will be adjourned some
time before the first Monday in February
for the Graham term.
We learn that bill will be presented TO
| Congress at this session changing the sit
| ting of the Decembe- term here to January,
with corresponding changes with reference
TO Waco and Graham. This is advisable, as
| it will exclude the Christmas holidays from
our allotted time, and give us solid two
months run.
There has been a considerable amount of
| business transacted before this forum, and
a large number of people have been in at
tendance on its sessions ever since it con-
vened, and in the District Court more
ANIMATION than at any other term has been
| developed. Up 10 the present writing there
! have been ten or a dozen holly contested
cases which put the District Attorney on
metal and left him in nearly every argued
case-in fact in every case that was argued,
master of the situation.
In the case VS.. Captain Nicholas Nolan
L llOF FURNISHING sOlulGTs 10 wan JDlluHbl
/ in his Panhandle cases) IL was apparent
that Nolan acted only after the legal re-
quirements had been complied with. and
the case was submitted with a Certainty OF
his acquttll.
In another case OF selling beer there
| only two witnesses, one opposed to
/ the other, and the Jury decided in favor OBJ
the woman as they Will always do il you
I give them haf a chance.
/ In the matter Of the government vs.. Ca
dell, defendant plead guilty Of making, but
not passing, the money, and was acquitted
on the last charge without trouble.
But in the Shumatc case there was a YER
diet for the government, after hot aud
prOtracied trial. Perjury was the charge.
II. G.. Dillard put in plea Of guilty and
paid out for selling tobacco without lice.se.
James Hays. after two trials, was finally
found guilty Tor both making aud passing
the queer silver dollar"
J. ID. Shoemaker was found guilty By the
jury Of raising a ten 10 a iiiiy-dollar bill.
Van Hook was also found guilty OF vi0-
laiing the postal-seryice laws and was sen
fenced to three months Imprisonment, but
has been pardOned BY the President.
A judgement was also obtained by the
United States District Attorney for s1.GD-
g ". LOvelady, on forfeiture Of distiller's
bond
Altogether Uncle Samuel has been rather
light they made against him.
There will be but little more than plain
sailing in the troubled waters Of the crimi-
mai side Of the docket this term.
