Mr. Em tor : Inferior court convened
on Monday the 20th inst. at Halifax,
Judge Till 1 made an elaborate charge to
the grand jury, which was the inos in
telligent one we have heard m many days.
There was no great deal of business
before the court and we are inclined to
think that two terms of the court would"
be sufficient to transact the business, now
that we have three week for Superior
court.
The chairman of the court was once
a candidate for a seat in Supreme court,
he received a flattering vote m the con
vention. Associate Daniel is a grave
looking lawyer-like gentleman-Associate
Parker is a young man, and a stranger
would take him to be a real judge.
There were only three cases from this
end of the county. This speaks well for
the morals of our people. The young
man Barnes who was indicted for steal
ing money from Capt. Kitchin, was con
victed. Tony Clark, the notorious cattle
thief, who hails from the kingdom of Pal
myra, was convicted and sentenced for
five years. Haywood Harris, indicted,
for stealing two sore headed puddle duck';,
was a'cjuitted. One James MeGee was
convicted of carrying concealed weapons,
and sentenced to jail for thirty days.
Joseph Bacey. the celebrated root doc
tor and fortune teller was sent to the pen
etentiary for twelve months for larceny.
