Dennis Book, colored, was tried for tho murder ol Perry Book, his brother. It being clear it was an accidental kill ing, the Solicitor consented to a vor diot of acquittal. This ease had an unprecedented feature. The two Kooks burglarized tl.c store of Messrs Owens Bros, at Clinton, among the plunder being three bull dog pistols and in de ciding these spoils one ol* the pistols was discharged, killing Perry. Thus in the very execution of a crime came awful retribution. Sam Caldwell, colored, was sent to the Ponitontary six months or pay $100. This ended the Sessions business. The Grand Jury were discharged for tho term on Tuesday and their present ment will be found elsewhere.
