The district court which had been
in session continuously since the first
Monday in this month, adjourned on
last Wednesday. The court disposed
of considerable business of q criminal
nature during the the term just closed
Besides many petty cases disposed of
during the term, the court passed
sentenceW Wednesday on the following
named accused convicted at this term,
viz:-Wllliam Dooley, cutting with
intent to kill. three years in the peni-
Tertiary: William johnson, same

Charles Williams, forgery. three
years B. Hartley, &. A. Hall and
George Smith alias George Edwards,
all charged with petit larceny, each
three months in the peuitet,tiary. This
makes Il delegation of ten to Baton
Rouge, and of these ten two have two
sentences apiece registered against
their names. 1t is a long time since
this parish has sept that many at one
time. Of these ten, only one, Clinton
Lane, is for a crime committed above
Lafourche Crossing all the others
are fol crimes committed from La
tourche Crossing down /; the town of
Bowie furnishing five convicts as its
share.
The court also disposed of a number
OF civil cases at the term just closed.
Although the Jail was practically
cleaned out of its prisoners awaiting
trial when the court opened, it looks
as though it will soon be>tilled up
again, for it has already received an
additional quota of five before court
adjourned. one of whom is charged
with murder.
