Sentence of a Tramp.

William Ludgon was convicted as tramp
following sentence
You have been found guilty by the ver-
dict of the jury of going about from place
to place asking charity and for the purpose
of acquiring living, having no fixed place
of residence or lawful occupation in this
county where you were arrested, The law
declares that any person guilty of such
acts shall be deemed tramp, and be sub
ject to Imprisonment or conviction of the
offense. Prisoner Qnterrupting) your hon
Or don't get my living in that way. Curt.
The jury were satisfied from the evidence
that you do. The jury heard what you had
to say on oath on your own behalf From
the facts detailed by the witnesses for the
Commonwealth and your own statement
in respect to travel in the State of New Jer-
sey and elsewhere the jury were justified
in finding the verdict they did. Prisoner.
the witnesses did not know me, and of
course | ought not to be deprived of my
liberty for asking for a cup of coffee.
Your conduct in going from house to
house, going into the back way into num-
bers of houses, leaving open gates and in
solently answering requests to shut them
was sufficient to convict you of the otfense
charged. The act of 1879 provides for the
Imprisonment of one found to be tramp,
but does not impose a tine. The maximum
punishment is twelve months mprison-
ment below that the Court may exercise
discretion.
The sentence of the court is that you
pay the costs of prosecution and undergo
Imprisonment in the Jail of Columbia coun,
ty b separate or solitary confinement at
labor for the term of four months, and that
you stand committed until this sentence is
complied with.
This statute of 1879 is the only one in
force that requires separate or solitary con.
finement at labor to be part of the sentence
of any one to Imprisonment in the County
Jail. But this statute requires 1t, we SC
impose sentence and the Sheriff must see

a Justice of the Pesce Removed
tor Tisdemeanor in once.

Thos. Murphy, of Centraiia, who was
convicted last week, was sentenced by the
court as follows:
| You have been found guilty of wilfully
and fraudulently taking illegal fees for ser
vices as justice of the peace in civil
suit brought before you. You charged
and received for confession of judgment
where there were no such services rem
dered. Your record showed that the case
was tried before you and judgment was
rendered after hearing the parties, their
proofs and allegations.
PRISONER. There were two judgments
and got mixed up with them
CoURT.-You also charged and received
payment for an item in your bill of forty
cents for disoharging the parties. Your
record does not show any entry of dis
charge, and besides there is nothing in the
fee bill allowed for such service.
If you did not know what fees you were
entitled to charge, you disregarded your
duty in not informing yourself
Whether Illegal charges are made and
collected by reason of ignorance Of the
law or by design, is not material.
We are not disposed to impose upon you
a heavy fine in view of another portion OF
the judgment which the law requires us to
pronounce.
The 4th Section of Article of the Con-
stitution provides, that all officers shall
hold their offices on the condition that they
behave themselves well while in office, and
shall be removed on conviction of misDe-
haviour in office or of any infamous crime.
Your case comes within this provision
and we render judgment accordingly.
The sentence of the court is that you
pay fine of fifteen dollars to the com
monwealth and the costs of prosecution,
and stand committed till the sentence is
complied with.
And the court adjudge and decree that
the said Thomas Murphy be and he is
hereby removed from the office of Justice

was resolved that
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God in His all
wise providence to remove from our midst
by death our Sunday school mate, Rupert
Smith, son of Charles NJ. Smith, therefore
Resolred, That we, as a Sunday school,
have sustained grievous loss in the de-
mise of our friend aid young companion,
for he, by his. bright and promising pros

himself the respect and friendship of not

knew him.
Resolved, That while we deeply mourn
the loss of this, our dear young friend,
Rupert, and that we tender our heartfelt
sympathies to the bereaved family we re.
joice that he, though searly called away
from earth and home, has, as we trust and
have reason to believe, found happy ad-
mittance in Heaven, where sickness and
death never come.
Resolved, That we, too, remember ouI
duty to Him who doeth all things well,
and so live that when it is ours to leave
this sphere OF action, we may be able to
say with him "The Lord is our Shepherd -
and thus be prepared to meet our God with
joy, and dwell with Him for evermore.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions
be presented to the bereaved family and
that they be published in the leading
county papers.
