brought to q sudden staDdstill.

formed his Honor that the prisoners

charged with burglary were then on
thelf way down from the penitentiary,
That they would have been here long
before but for n Misunderstanding, as
was thought the ease against
lhe Brewing 20. would be taken up
this morning and therefore Barrett
and Blake would not be wanted.
