THE CASE OF VICTOR HoRY.
The case of the Territory against Victor
Hory, for attempting to kill Israel Gibbs,
cumstances of which our readers are familiar,
was called on Friday morning last, and the
defendant pleaded guilty. Evidence was
then given of the previous good character Of
the defendant, in order to affect the judg
ment of the court in fixing the punishment.
The peculiarities Of this case excite COM
meut. The defendant did not and would not
deny his actions and what he did. He would
not permit his attorneys to make the plea Of
;n,,n;txy for ,wb; oh ay;danca could hava hasp
given. The only effort he seems to have
made to escape punishment was personal
plea to the prosecuting witness, who was inn
movable. His honesty is evidenced by the
fact that, upon small bond which he gave
at the last term Of court, and which he could
have paid at n moments notice. lie visited
the States and returned at the present term
to submit to the sentence Of the court. The
judgment of the court will be pronounced
during tho present week.

will be accordingly sentenced during the
