cealed weapons and being a general bad
character. was called for trial before
Magistrate Tyler, Of Henrico at Brook
land Park school-house yesterday af-
ternoon. AS on the previous occasion,
a large crowd was present, and all the
witnesses in the case were on hand.
Messrs. II. NJ. Smith and George Wash.
Thomas appeared for the negro and
Messrs. w. II. Beverage and w. w.
Garnett for the prosecution. A letter
was received from Judge Waddill stating
his inability 10 appear on account Of
the Illness OF Mrs. WaddlIl, and Mr..
Smith asked for a postponement OF the
case in courtesy to him. as he was the
senior counsel for Jones. He also re-
Quested that the case be moved TO Hen
rico County Court. on the ground that
the preJudices and passions Of the peo-
pie in the neighborhood were aroused
against the prisoner. and that It was
usual TO try such cases at the court. The
magistrate denied the alleged public bias
against the prisoner and was 10th to
again change the place Of trial, but find
ing that the school-house could not be
again secured, he adjourned the case for
trial at Henrico County Court at
o'clock next Friday. An interesting dis
cussion arose between Mr.. q. WASH.

teopardy. Mr.. Thomas claiming that he
would be justified and Mr. Beverage
maintaining that the law would make
no excuse for it's violation. The move
