trial was going on aa we weut te press last week, was found guilty. Ann Morrisey avd James White, of Lot 20, were convicted ;

tried and the one for maliciously

stabbing Thonas Jonea, a sailor, with intent to

do him bodily harm, and the other for stealing a

cow, the property of George Somers, of Graham's |

Read. The cow was missed on the evening of the Sth June, and no trace of ber discovered til! seme time in the month of August last, when one of Somers’ neighbors, en his way to New Glas- gow, heard something about a cow that had been maliciously killed in her pasture a night or twe | before. His suspicions being aroused, he called at the Tannery where the hide had been sold, examined and identified it. he reported what he saw and heard to Mr. Som- ers, Whe, together with the neivhbor who raised the missing cow, immediately proceeded to Me

Neill‘s Taunery, at New Glasgow, to inspeet the |

hide. They alse identified it. On inquiry. it was

found that the hide wae bought from Mr. Franets |

Prainer, Blackamith, New Glasgow, who testified that be purchased the cow frou James White on
