Disposed of.


The Commonwealth's as well as the
Civil docket is now well up with, and
much business has been dispatched
during this term Of Court. The Jury
in the Harry Clark case returned a
verdict Wednesday morning, finding
the defendant not guilty of malicious
cutting, but guilty of cutting in sud
den heat and passion, and fixing the
fine at $3.50. Clark gave a bond re,
plevying the debt, with Hon. H. b

released from Jail. The jury was out

fore agreeing upon the verdict.

rott Mumford, col, charged with muir
dering Pike Radford, also colored,
near Herndon last winter, was called
and both sides being ready, the trial
was entered into and was in progress
when we went to press. The defend
ant is represented by Wood g. Bell,
and the Commonwealth's attorney is
assisted by County attorney Brasher.
Much of the evidence is circumstan-
tial, but of very damaging nature to
Mumford, and the chanceG are that he
will get long term in the "Pen."
The case of Israel Herring, COL,
charged with arson, in burning barn
belonging to Jno. Mcknight, near
Garrettsburg several months ago, is
set for trial on the 23d day of the term.
Herring was acquitted at the examin-

come to light since, the matter was
laid before the grand jury which
found an indictment. He was arrest
ed by Deputy Sheriff Cravens, near
Noah's Spring Tuesday, and lodged
in jail here.
