The last term of this Court closed on Saturday
the 9th instant That hardened offender, Hardy
Carroll, was again arraigned for an offence for
which, if convicted, he would have forfeited his
life His Honor Judge Pearson assigned James
B. Shepard and CASTOR H. Wilder, Esquires, as
counsel for the prisoner on his arruignment on
Wednesday. On Thursday his counsel prepared
affidavit to remove the trial to another county,
on the ground that justice could not be obtained in
Wake The affidavit was allowed and the trial
removed to Chatham.


On Friday the SANDER case, Samuel Whitaker
VS. DGuid Garter, was tried. Mr. Badger ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. George w.
Haywood McRae and Miller for the defendant
The Jury found in favor of the plaintiff, and gave
damages in the sum of five hundred dollars and
costs. We are glad that the character of Mr..
Whitaker has been thus sustained and vindicaied
by jury of his country. The defendant, we un-
derstand, has appealed to the Supreme Court.


On Saturday the case of The Stale vs. Ethel
dred Pollard for perjury, was tried The charge
was, that he had sworn falsely in material point
in the case of The State as Madison Johnson, and
the verdict of the jury was GUILTY. We under
stand, however, that judgment was arrested.


Judge PEARSON presided with his accustomed
ability and dignity.
