Interesting Legal Point Miscellaneous.
Part | OF the Circuit Court, Judge |
PAUL presiding, was the only part in ses-
sion Saturday. There were several in
teresting matters brought to the Courts
attention; At the afternoon session a
motion was made by Col, WV. ArRetl,
counsel for Mr.. Joseph Seybold, to have
the bail bond Of $1,000 conditioned for
the appearance OF Hurry Seybold, in
dicted for embezzling funds Of the Bank
OF Wheeling reduced. Prosecuting at.
torney Howard appeared for the State
and opposed the motion, The public will
remember that at the last term OF Court,
when the case against Harry SeybOld
was called he failed to answer, having
left town. Judge Campbell at once de-
clared the bail Of $1,000 given by Mr.,
Joseph Seybold, father OF the accused,
forfeited, and ordered the proper papers
issued for its collection at this term,
Col. Arnett made quite u long argument
for u reduction, in the course Of which
he cited a precedent occurring while
Judge Melvin sat upon the bench. Col,
Arnett, however, cited no special reason
why the reduction should be made, and
none appearing to the Court, the apPll'
cation was refused and judgment d.
TeCted to be entered. In refusing the
request, the Court took occasion TO ex-
press sympathy for Mr., Joseph Seybold,
in which counsel and others present
ConCuHed.
An INTERESTING LEGAL POIST.
At the last term the Grand Jury re.
turned four counts tOr msdCmGanors,
against Julia Chisnell. In entering up
the Andings Of the jury, the Clerk made
the entry;
"An indictment against Julia Chisnoll,
l misdemeanOrs, A true bill. j, II.
Hall, foreman"
During the term, The defendant came
into Court and entered y plea Of guilty
us to three OF the charges, and paid u
tine Of $40 and cost, assessed against her
in each uGsU. The fourth case was car
ried over until the present term.
Saturday afternoon Hon. j. j. Jacob
and l.. $. Jordan, Esq, counsel for the
defendant, appeared and objected to the
remaining charge being in any way
maintained against the defendant, and
alleged TINT the record showed that but
one indictment had been retured by the
Jury. Gases were cited to show thRIl all
Tint was demanded in tho way OF en-
dOrsement or record was simply IAN in
dictmrnt against a, Is. a true bill. G.
d., foreman" and that the words on
the record II misGemeanors," meant
nothing. "An Indictment" and 20 true
BILL" meant one indictment and one
true bill, and could not he interpreted to
mean more than one. The defendant had
really plead guilty to two more cases
than was shown by the record to have
been returned by the jury, and that
there was nothing ut present pending
against her. The matter was taken un-
der adviscment by Judge PAUL.
A number OF other cases are recorded
the same way, the Chisnell case beingin
the nature o! II test.
