                          LAW REPORT
                       
           Supreme Court. - The Court met, Judge FRAZIER
         presiding, and held a session in Chambers. Cases
         will be argued and determined in open Court today.
           Circuit Court. - Criminal Docket - JAMES FERGUSON,
         on trial for grand larceny, was acquited on the
         plea of insantiy. The trial of NICHOLAS WOOD, for
         stealing a cow, is in progress.
           COMMON PLEAS COURT - In the case of Dr. FELL the
         Court delivered its decision yesterday. It will be
         remembered that the charge against Dr. FELL was
         "procuring an abortion," and that at a former trial
         a jury found him guilty and sentenced him to thirty
         days in the county jail, coupled with a fine of
         fifty dollars. A motion for a new trial was made
         and granted. The trial this time was before His
         Honor Judge BLAIR, and his decision, as announced
         to-day, simply affirms the verdict of the jury.
         It is reported that His Excellence the Governor
         has remitted that portion of the penalty which in-
         volves a restraint of his personal liberty.
           Commissioner's Court. - MR. KIMBALL informs us
         that, so far as his Court is concerned, yesterday
         passed without the commission of crime. Pity that
         such was not a more common report.
           In the United States Court, soon to sit here,
         we are informed a formidable docket awaits the
         functionaries of that Court. However, Judges
         DAVIS and McDONALD are the sort of judicial
         officers to dispatch business, while District
         Attorney HANNA is known to be a Prosecutor of
         more than common energy.
