Dearborn County Circuit Court – Oct 1839

The Dearborn County, Indiana, Circuit Court reports appeared in:
Aurora Dearborn Democrat – 30 Oct 1839 – Page 2, Column 1

Dearborn Circuit Court.

This Court convened at Wilmington, on Monday last. All the Judges were present, and the usual number of lawyers were in attendance.

The following gentlemen were empannelled as the Grand Jury, to wit:
Joel Decoursey, Esq., Foreman; Thomas Jones, Joseph Churchill, James Lyons, Vachel Hobbs, Jonathan Noble, John La Rew, Elisha Bodine, Thomas Cooper, Elias Little, David Conger, Amos Ross, David Cook, John Synder, and David Durham.

The court is disposing of business pretty rapidly, principally cases of petit misdemeanor.

On Tuesday, William Mason and John Wittermott, indicted for petit larceny—stealing a quilt, two bags and a vest from a Mr. Corson, below the mouth of Laughery—were tried, convicted, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for one year.
