Legal Matters.

Circuit Court will commence a session in Vevay next Monday. Judge Berkshire will preside. The grand Jury will not assemble until Tuesday.

Last week Thos. Kincaid, Deputy Sheriff, arrested George Andrews, residing on Grant’s Creek, and placed him in Jail. He was charged with “malicious trespass”—cutting cattle with a knife. The cattle belonged to George Saddler.

Last Sunday night Mr. Kincaid, accompanied by Geo. Redd, also arrested and place in Jail, John F. Leap.—There are two charges against him, grand and petit larceny. The first offense is said to be taking money from the pockets of Walter Lock and Wm. Brindle, while threshing wheat. He was tried on this charge last October. The Jury failed to agree, and the case was postponed until the next term of Court, his bail being fixed at $1,000. He failed to make his appearance in January, when his bail was forfeited, and a new warrant issued. The second offence with which he is charged is taking a halter and bridle from the wagon of Benj. Jain, while in Vevay. He has not yet been tried on this charge.

The following is the Traverse Jury of the next Term of Court:

  • Jefferson Township—Henry Knox and Newbury Gleason.
  • York—John W. Howard and Milton Gullion.
  • Posey—John Basset and Wm. A. Cross.
  • Cotton—Henry Myers and U. H. Stow.
  • Pleasant—Levi Orem and Jordan Wainscott.
  • Craig—Oliver Smith and Geo. M. Oakley.

To meet on March 31st.

There are seven inmates in the County Jail.

Hawes Redd was arrested last Tuesday, charged with provoking an assault and battery, and assault and battery. He plead guilty to the first charge, and Esquire Dufour fined him $2 and costs, which he failed to pay, and was sent to Jail.

Last Sunday morning Marshal Bright arrested Jesse Hays, charged by Martha Wintizer, with an assault with intent to commit a crime. She alleged that Hays gained entrance into her house by forcibly opening the door, to which she objected. He was brought before Esq. Dufour for trial, but took a change of venue to Esq. Wm. A. Neal, at Mount Sterling. Last Monday, after hearing the case, Esq. Neal decided to submit his case for trial in a higher Court, and fixed his bail at $500, which he failed to give, and was placed in Jail.

Miss Alma Sullivan, of Vevay, recently filed an affidavit charging John H. Wright with Bastardy. The case came up before Esquire Perret Dufour last Thursday. Wright took a change of venue to Esquire Neal, at Mt. Sterling. Next Tuesday, at 10 o’clock, is the time set for trying the case.
