In the course of-thie beansination of a wit ness in a case tried duriuig the present term of the court the witness testified that he vo ted at the late election, though not of the age of 21, by putting a piece of paper, with 21 written on it, in his shoe, and so voting, "being,"~ as ho -said, "orer 21." JTrhe Judge commented very severely on this fraud on the election, and so treated t without an indictment, whtich, however, he ias very strongly mclined to set on foot. If this had been done, the witness would have fared badly, and his vote would have cost him dearly. PERIODICA LS. The Nov.
