Mr. RoaaavanM, (vhlta man) fern Columbia,

County Diatrieta every weclt, and e?1prcd j

to the Penitentiary, on the moat trivial of

that he had felt it fn l>? hi* <t?ly to act In
the matter, and had drawn a petition re
(pirating General C*'pt to ahc|i?|i the ealil
Court a.
The drawer of the petition ought ffrot
earcftrlly die.-ha'jre the duty of informinir
