EXECUTIVE PARDON. = Yesterday Gov
ernor Stoneman signed the pardon of Jas.
Casey, and to-day he will be released from
his confinement in the State Prison. In
October, 1854, Casey was tried and convict
ed of the crime of robbery in the
Superior Court of San Joaquin coun-
ty, and sentenced TO Imprisonment for
a term of five years. His pardon was
recommended by the Prison Directors, and
strongly urged by the sentencing Judge,
Hon. Van r. Patterson, for the reason that
Casey's crime was boyish freak, and his
conduct since incarceration, coupled with
his previous excellent character, strongly
evinces his thorough reform.
POLICE CouRr-In the Police Court yes
terday the case of Bob WEIGH charged
with vagrancy. was taken up and evidence
heard. The defendant testified in his own
behalf that he was under 81 eco bonds to
appear in case of assault to murder

having been indefinitely postponed, and he
remained in town against his will. The
Court took the matter under advisement
until this morning......The case of NJ. J..
Fields, for battery, was continued until
to-day. owing to the absence of a necessary
witness.
