Hi and speech this afternoon was eloquel e a and forceful, and Judge Prince stal en ed that it had made its impressio Uit on the court. The grounds on which the new trip were asked were five in number: 1 First. That the statute provide of that when a 'bond is redeemed it i ro- under the opleration of the statut ew cancelled and therefore worthles, kt'' consequently the theft of a hon - whichli has been redeemed is not. ini- (crimeI. .1 Judge Prince, in ruling, stated ti s this point had n.t been raised in tli case before, and it. raised a doubi but it was a question of law upol H which lhe would prefer to have th ne supreme court pass. 0" The second point was that th er- Judge had omitted to charge that, i1 doubtful cases, tle jury must giv .lweiht to the evidence as to goo, mscliaracter.
