I The State ngaiust William Jordan I Indictment?Jturglary and (Irand Lar I ceny. I Tho offence of which this convict wa charged consisted in tho breaking into tin I store house of it. C. Dradley, by removing * portion of the realty from the chiinncy, am steal I lit,' Si'i in money. William .Ionian, burglary and irranil larceny What I say to you might he said to Severn sitting with you, whose general crime Is tin same. Any defence set up in this Court, thai there was oppression and violence to obtaii a confession will not no unheeded ; nor wil their appeal hi-in vain. In this you liavi failed most signally. Those who work in tin day, should sleep at night without fear of dis turbailee or apprehension of their property being molested, The law protects them In this. You took advantage of this, becamt flush of money. It was not late at night, anil very soon a Mexican half dollar made its up' pearancc at a hot supper. I say once for all that the law is becoming more firmly settled down for the protection against this crime oi larceny. You are young. You have shown that you are not able to live in a community and unlit for the companionship of others until you become better. The sentence is, that you be punished for theollencc of burglary by conliiieiiieul in the penitentiary ol the State at Columbia, S. C.. with hard labor for a period of four years, and after I lie expiration of thissentcncc that you be confined in the penitentiary for a period of two years for the otl'ence of grand larceny. The State against Samuel AIcGricr. Indictment?Assault with intent, to kill. The offence for which the above mentioned Samuel was called into Court was the plugging of Green Williams shoulder with lead, while in attendance upon a religious meeting near the Buzzard Roost. Samuel McGrlcr. assault with Intent.to kill? You linvc been lounu guilty 01 hii assauii with intent to kill. It has half the element of murder, and is nearest manslaughter, it shows the Intention. K. K. Gary, Esq.?I hold In my hand a petition for the mercy of the Court, in the ease of this prisoner. This petition certilies to his harn. less and inoffensive character, which is signed by many of our best citizens. The Court? Iain very glad to hear that recommendation of you. I will reduce your sentence in consequence of that, petition. If It were not for the expense to the County, I would send you to the Jail instead ol the penitentiary, I expected to punish you for manslaughter. sentenced to twelve mouths at liard labor in the penitentiary. The State against Citizen Itozemnn. Indictment?Murder. The prisoner was charged with murder In Lhe killing of Alfred Groves. It was In evlJence t hat Alfred Groves came to where prisoner was grinding his nxe. An old quarrel ibout the ownership of a hatchet ensued, when Citizen settled the quarrel by striking \ If red on the head with an axe-handle. Death "ollowed In a few nours. The Jury convicted ilin of manslaughter. Jitizen Kor.eman, murder, stand lip: It seems tome court? O. T.

Your Honor will also please hear in niiul that the Jury recommended him to the nercy of the Court. The Court?It seems from all sides that you lave a good character. In consequence I will mposc the lightest sentence. I am tired of his com itiucd and repealed _ sentencing of ersonsof color. I Ihink the jury were right n rendering their verdict of manslaughter, i'on are old. and did not intend Hie consciiii-iics ?>r that act. I think this Is the case, i'oti did not think death would result.

The State against llobrrt Myers and llenry Myers. Indictment?Murtlcr. The olTencc in this ease was the kllllngnf R. ! :. Trnwiit, one of tins most peaceable ci 11sens in the County. In reply to Mr. Gary's argument, for a new [rial His Honor said : I cannot allow the zeal and earnestness In fiebalf of his clients to draw me away from the facts of the case. In icply to the argument tor a new trial tbeCourt looks to the vcrI id of t Vie Jury, which in this case was one ol manslaughter and not of murder. I will only *tate, as I recoiled thein, some legal objection. or rather, lads. There can be no union nf mind that would make one man responsible for the ad of another.

'1 lie zeal and earnestness with which this case has been conducted by the counsel for tiie defense is commendable Indeed, but the Court cannot grant a new trial. Hubert ami Henry Meyers, murder: Vou are charged with murder iti the killing of K. ! :. Truwitt. The jury have found you guilty of manslaughter. I'pon reflection 1 am satislied they were right. You haven better understanding of this case than the .Judge or anybody else, from the ztalousncss and earnestness of your counsel. 1 luive no doubt you have you same feelings. You may think the sentence undeserved and society hard on you. If measured by what vou think you deserve voir may judge it severe, but according to the feelings of those from whom you took a head and protector It will appeal light. I am ignorant of your past life, ncvei heard of your name, until I saw it In the newspapers, but I venture to say. you will find that on several occasions you have fouml the spirit of violence In your breast, and thai passion has eharacteri'.'cd your conduct, I am going to say one tiling to you. You can take it as you please. You are comparatively i young man. You are doomed either lo gi down, down, or rise and become a renpectabli man, tlio downward course is easy. If yoi receive your sentence mildly, and do no think society at war with you, it will scruti nize your conduct, subdue and repress youi feelings, for 1 hm going tosend you when you will have to restrain your actions, if no your feelings, and feel yourself thatyour pun lshment is deserved. Kmleavor to be a bettei man, do not think yourself an Ishinealite with your hand against everybody, and every body's hand against you. For if not, wliei your sentence expires in a few years, you wil comeback here charged witlia graver oH'ence and return to society a hardened man. Lift will be with you like a pendulum, you wll be a few years in the penitentiary and a fev years oni. 1 uiiini 11. mo |miu >? your lllo.

A main eleTiient of murder Is the intention, and the guilt of tho crime consists In the taking of human life under circumstances ? 11 that show a knowledge and consciousness of , views and designs. .Malicious killing with i premeditation and determination Is murder whether t in; design to kill Is found on the inI slant or had been previously entertained. If | the intent to kill hi! found hut one minute bo- ? fore the act, that isenough, it Is murder. Ills Honor instructed the Jury that manslaughter Is the unlawful killing of another I without malice expressed or implied. It may heeither voluntary as by a blow struck in ? I sudden heal and passion ; or Involuntary, in I the commission of nil unlawful act. The disUnction between murder and manslaughter Is e, j the want of malice In the latter. J That a party could not avail himself of the plea of sclf-defensti who was in fault in bringing on the conflict. That If there were no | pressing necessity to kill arising out of an as- t, I sault and imined'lntedanger to life or serious t| I bodily harm te the person killing ; nor legal c| provocation lo aroujte the passions, which pro- | r| (lured net Ion before the passions hud tltnc to cool, the oirencejwns murder. Was there n pressing necessity to kill ? A man Is not allowed to take the life of another exccpt to preserve his own. That the Jury should apply these principles to the facts proven In tho case and determine ? thegrude of the oll'once. V [ That some complication arose In tills case 0 from the fact Hint, the fatal blow was struck [ by tlie son of Henry Myers, a boy of tornler T I years. 01 That the objection of infancy could not tl avail unless Hiedefemiaut llobert Myers was p so young as to be unable of distinguishing be- 0' j tween right ntul wrong. tt That. It was forth? Jury to determlneif there were concert of purpose between the prisoners T at the bar ; and tiiut persons could Illegally concur in doing an unlawful act, even whore they hiid not been previously acfjualnled. That If the evidence satisfied the Jury there was a common design or purpose between them, the result would be that both would be responsible for the act of each. That If there were no common design or purpose, but simple intervention, nml if the party interfering knew that the person for whom lie Interfered was engaged In combat with malicious intent, it would be murder if his adversary were slain, that If the killing were T manslaughter, the Intervener aiding, would! r be guilty of the like ofl'enee, and that under -1 certain circumstances, though it mightbo ex- , l.Amlnl.la It. n rmriV Mili*ntTPtl.
