The case of the State VS.. VIM. Henry

bills had been found by the Grand Jury,
and who pleaded guilty to 4 charge of as
sault and battery, stated to Judge Reed
that owing to certain reasons, which he
mentioned, he hoped the penalty inflicted
would BE light, thinking that the ends
of Justice would be served by imposing a
fine on his client. Judge Reed imposed a
fine of 500 and costs on Allen, and SEN
fenced him to two months in tile county
Jail. on one indictment, and suspended SEN
tenco on the second charge.

Holmes on the part of the Trustees.
Judge Reed then discharged the jurors
for the term and declared court adjourned.
