JUSTICE J0HN,S Court.
A Very Tame Docket, and Scarcely Any
Money in II.

There was very little OF interest az the
Temple yesterday. In criminal circles
everything was painfully dull, and only
a small number Of ordinance violators
took a slice from the big pie Of justice,
while His Honor caught a few flashes
Of sleep between acts.
William =. Buchanan was turned over
to the United States authorities at Fort
Monroe. Such action was taken by the
local authorities on receipt Of a letter
from that point stating that William was
a deserter from the United States army.
His Honor doesn't believe I'm cowardly
soldier boys. and he has no patience with
the fellow who goes back on Uncle Sam.
William was accordingly shipped 10
whence he came. and the case OF Henry
Morton. charged with being fugitive
from justice from Cumberland county,
W. Va. was dismissed.
William Valentine and Harry Elicit
were discharged on payment OF costs
from the charge Of stealing and carrying
away one double-barrelled shotgun from
Horace H. Hill.
Valentine. who is the step-father Of
Harry Elicit. n small boy. stated that
Harry found the fowlng-piece leaning
