Very truly yours,

Centreville, Del,
Mr.. Biggs said he had hoped to have
the case disposed of al this term. The
application made was something new
here. There appeared to be no laxity
on the part of the defence to get wit
nesses, however, and he would leave the
matter entirely to the discretion of the
court.
After consultation the court vigorously
opposed the postpOnement of cases, say
ing they are not postponed elsewhere.
The prosecution and the defence were
both complimented on their efforts TO
obtain witnesses and finally the request
for postponement was granted. May
9th was selected as the day for begin
ming the trial.
w. Il. Smalley, Jr., on behalf of
Samuel V. b. Carly, colored, charged in
two indictments with lottery policy
writing, entered plea Of guilty in one
case and the attorney general was in
structed to enter nolle prosequi in the
pay the costs of the latter case.
On the application of Charles B.
Lore the trial Of the civil suit of Henry
Company, set for Thursday, was post
poned until February 23d. The post
ponement was granted because Of the
absence of Senator Gray, one of the
counsel. Adams resides in Kent county
and is seeking damages for injuries sus-
tanned by being thrown from car plat
form at Harrington.
Recess until $50 o'clock was taken.
In the county court Monday, soon
| after the noon recess, Samuel v. B.
| Carly, colored, who had pleaded guilty
to lottery policy writing, was sentenced,
The sentence was that he pay the costs
of prosecution and 800 fine or be i'm
prsoned two months. 1t being his first
offence he was informed thecourt would
be lenient, but he was warned that if he
| was up again on the same charge his
sentence would be very different He
| paid the fine.
John Biggs, whose term as attorney
general expires April 4th, here an
nounced that CaIty's case finished the
criminal business of this term. Mr. Bggs
thanked the court for its uniform con
sideratien during his term of office and
also thanked the members of the bar
and the public generally Judges Cullen
and Houston both eomplimcnted him on
the ability with which he handled cases
