WVe preOsumel( the Ob.ser'ver ref<
to the bill introduced by Renal
Graydon, which reads as follov

That is the only proposition tI
we remember, which could be e<
estrued as an increase of the salar
for judges, which was pi-oposed di
ing the recent session of the legis

ing ceiving stolen goods, knowing the:
the to be stolenl, was too ill to 'ppear ft
ted sentence and a sealed sentence wi
in- left for him. H1is attorney stated i
tmd open court that Gibson might-never 1
the seen on the streets again. He is 7
years old and in a Critibal conditio
of health.
ing From 4 o'clock this afternoon unt
G. 8 o 'clock to-night the 'court was o<
the cupied with the Gilbson and Zimmei
p['e man cases again. The attorney fc
mng Gibson, Mr. Andrew Crawford, mad
ille an argument of two hours' duratioi
us asking for a new trial for his age
ier- client, but his points were overrule
the by Judge Prince and the new trit
fn- refused.
rhy Mr. Craw-ford has made a har
wn fight for Gibson and has put hi
it whole heart and soul into it. 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.

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.
Are Third. That the testimony produe

-s to chiarge that uneorroborated testi
