This honorable tribunal, Judge BOND presiding, began its October term in the new Baptist church last Monday. The first day was principally consumed in organizing and calling cases.

The following named gentlemen compose the Grand Jury: Lem. GAY, foreman; W. G. MOORE, Abel STEWART, Alvin BISHOP, Mansil WEBB, Joseph WILKS, George HAZELGROVE, Samuel HENSON, N. R. DORRIS, Henry SKINNER, A. SELLARS, John MURDOUGH, Thomas G. THOMPSON, J. M. WEBB, their sworn officer.

The case of the State vs. R. D. CROSS was continued, so also was the important case Martin, Weakly & Co. (for the use of John D. USSERY) vs. McPearce and Bostwick; defendants moved for continuance, they being made to furnish money to pay cost.

The criminal docket was taken up, and as far as proceeded with, the result was as follows: Alex BROWN, colored, tried and found guilty on two separate indictments for larceny, and in each case sentenced for one year; John BURKE, white, found guilty of larceny, one year; Andrew MARTIN, colored, 14 years of age, found guilty of larceny, one year. Thirteen additional cases are on the docket all of which will be tried at the present term of the court. Quite a penitentiary delegation! In our next issue we will endeavor to report more fully.
