Judge BOND adjourned this honorable court last evening. For two weeks he was ably and untiring devoted his entire attention to the cause of justice, and we are proud to say, in a manner that has given entire satisfaction to the people of the most peaceable and intelligent county in the State. As stated by us before, the docket was crowded with important cases, the great majority of which were disposed of.
The following persons were sentenced to the penitentiary:
George HODGE, negro, larceny, five years
Alexander BROWN, negro, larceny, two cases, 1 year each
John LINICUM, negro, larceny, one year
Andrew MARTIN, negro, 14 years old, larceny, one year. In this case punishment was commuted to ten days i county jail
Sam FLEMING, negro, larceny, five years
Robert FRIERSON, larceny, three years
John BURKE, white, larceny, on year
Ten revolutionary cases of long standing were stricken from the docket, while two parties were fined $12.50 each for selling liquors on Sunday, 5 indictments were found for assault and battery, 3 for larceny, and 1 for disturbing public worship. While the court was in session a number of able lawyers from a distance, besides the entire bar of Bolivar, were in attendance, all, or nearly all, of whom were kept pretty busy. Judge BOND goes to Lauderdale county, where he holds court next Monday.
