A correspondent at Smlthville sends us the following synopsis of the doings of the Superior Court during the past week: On Monday the Superior Court convened at this place, Judge McKoy presiding. The atl4ndancwas small.' The charge of His Honor was full, and especially directed to those "minor ''crimes which infest society, and Was received by those present with eveVy' evidence of sat!sfaction. A great number of cases was disposed of. and the trial 6f some of them did not reflect much credit upon tbe character of the parties interested in making the charges. In one case especially wheu the jury rc turned a verdict of not guilty, 6o interested were the people that, for the first time iu the history of the Court, its decorum: and dignity were infringed upon by a general outburst of applause from the audience. Tbe i following have received a free transportation ticket, limited for, the fol- l6vf ing terms or times: . John Warring, larceny, two years in the penitentiary. : Peter McKoy, larceny, two years in the penitentiary, and, by the kindness of his Honor,' allowed to be bound out to Mr. J. Mathews, of this place. Henry Robinson, larceny, five years in the penitentiary. George Stone, larceny, ten years iu the penitentiary. Wm. Nutt. larcenv. one year in the cottnty jail. -' In . the s case of . John Davis and Hill James, f or the murder of Henry MeDuffy, great inter est. was manifested by the peo-. pie, and, while the main fact of the killing was not denied, the particulars of ; the tra gedy, as detailed by witnesses, was of a mixed nature, to saynhe leastrand, in one instance hot of a character to impress the public with the griefs of widowhood. . Hill was acquitted, and put upon the atand.and more fully1 detailed the ;circumstances of the crime, . the result beicgthc conviction of Davis, notwithstanding he was ably and zealously def en ded , by Messrs. Bellamy and Watts, who were assigned as counsel for the prisoners. T6-day the court house was crowded with people to hear the sentence of John Davis. - At 11 o'clock, his Honor called up the prisoner ' and in a most eloquent and feeling mannerraddressed him for. nearly an hour.'.: The remarks were of such a na-r tute that tears came unbidden to the eyes of! the strong and stalwart, some leaving the court room in order that their weak nessif you.' ceukl so term it of nature should not be witnessed ,by their fellow- mkn TAvr MA m.n rti.hre a dulv of so unpleasant a nature with so much feel ing. At one time the Judge was compelled to stop, and so intense1 was the feeling on the part of the audience that you could al moat have heard a pin drop, and when the words came, "John Davis, I sentence you io be hanged on the 11th . day of July, 1879. between the honraof 10 and 3 o'clock, by the neck, until .you. are dead! dead! dead yi the feeling became intense. Severe Fall from a iTIan-Trmp. A gentleman received t severe . bruises from.a fall while Jooking. for the fire yes terday morning.
