SATURDAY.
The court concluded it's business for
the week yesterday afternoon.
When court had re-assembled Walter
H. Bacon, Esq, asked the court for an
order to set aside the order to hold to
bail A. H. McClintock at the suit of
George H. Willis, before Esquire Jona-
than Loper. on the grounds that
person could not be arrested with
warrent and held to bail in an action
of tort.
}. l.. VanSyckel, ESQ.,, appeared for
Willis. Judge Reed coincided with the
views laid down by Mr.. Bacon. Mr..
McClintock had been arrested on a
charge of illtreating an animal belong
ing to Mr.. Willis and damaging it to
the amount of $50. Willis and the
Justice pretending to believe that Nc
Clintock was not freeholder, and in
tended to get out of the jurisdiction of
the court, had Mr.. McClintock arrested
with a warrant and placed under $50
bail for his appearance at court when
wanted. Judge Reed granted Mr..
Bacon's motion and quashed the order
to hold to bail.
j. l.. VanSyckel made motion for
an order for the release of Charles
Filler, against whom no indictment
had been found at this term of court
Filler had been out of the custody of
this court since the May term of 1882
on a suspension of sentence. Judge
Reed stated that Filler had been con-
victed at that term of court on two in
dictments; one of forging a check in
Samuel Applegit's name for $72, and
another for forging check in Timothy
Campbelps name for $73. 1t was a very
unusual thing-a most unusual thing,
the Judge said to suspend sentence for
forgery, but in this case it had been
represented that the prisoner had, since
the commission of the crime, made a
reformation, had also become the in
ventor of valuable mechanism, and
would hereafter become an upright
and valuable citizen. Instead of this
however, he had again been convicted
of crimes and been sent to State Prison,
once by himself from Salem, and once
he had been sent up from Woodbury..
The Judge said the ends of justice
would not be answered by the culprit
taking such advantages of the courts
leniency. Filler was sent for and
brought into court, and after relation
of the facts to him by Judge Reed OF
what they appeared to be in his case,
he was sentenced to the State Prison
at hard labor for two years-one year
each for the indictments of the May
term 1882, the terms to run SUCCESSFULLY
The bail of John Ray. was declared
forfeited and judgement was taken
against his bondsInen who were cried
in open court. William Bitzer's bail
was also forfeited and judgement TAX en-
against his bondsman, Christopher
Bitter

14th inst, to hear an appeal case set
