Before Recorder Hackett, At the opening of the court the Grand Jury brought in a number of indictments, upon which the Diswrict Attorney proceeded to have the prisoners arraigned and disposed of’ without delay, ESCAPING FROM THE PENITENTIARY. James Johnson, alias Eagan, alias Williams, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging bim with breaking jail, The proof to sustain the charge was that he was sen- tenced to the Penitentiary for one year, upon an indict- ment for assault, with intent to steal, on the 22d of Mareh, 1867, and that he eloped from the prison on the Sth of April, ia company with another man, who was retaken at the time. CONVICHON OF & PICKPOCKET, Charles Rogers pleaded guilty to an indictment charg- ing that on the 12ih of April he picked the pocket of a woman unknown to the prosecuting authorities, The prisoner was arrested on @ bench warrant, joformation having been furnished to the District Attorney which in his opinion justified the authorities in arresting hit, There was another indictment for alieged picking of pockets found by the Grand Jury of the Oyer and Ter- miner against Rogers. David Worth was tried and convicted on a charge of petty larceny from the person, in stealing a memorav- dum book valued at $1 59 {rom the pocket of Paul E. Bernard, on the night of the 13th uit, while riding in a Forty-second street railroad car, ‘he book was found in possession of the prisoner when arrested. Wm, Cute was tried and convicted of an alleged attempt at grand larceny. He was charged with, on the night of the 19th of May, attempting to steal a hawser veiled at $40 !rom the barge Lady Van Renssalaer. John Lyons, indicted on a charge of sodomy, said to have been perpetrated on the 2d of March, pleaded guilty to assault and battery. AN ALLEGED “'SQUATTER’—CONVICTION UXDER THE BQUATIER a Most of the day was occupied in trying an indictment for alleged misdemeanor found by the Grana sary against Matsbew O'Connor. The indictment was framed im ac- cordance with an act passed by the Legislature in 1857, to punish as mal:cious trespassers persons who, without aatbority from the owner of land, shall erect any sbanty upon i. The complainant im this case was Tromas J, MoCabill, who testitied tbat on the 12th of March he exbibied deeds of property located on the corner of Fifty-sevento street and fuird avenue, which he bad purchased. Upon the southwest corner of that street the «defendant occupied a shanty, and refused to Temore it until compelled to do so by the Supreme Court.gThe defence proved that O'Connor purchased tho shanty froia Mr. Hibbard in 1861, and as there was some dispute between the Corporation and she Brevoort and Odell estates reiative to the title of the property in ques- tien, O'Connor, by the advice of counsel, continued to Temain until the controversy was finally determined. In summing up District Auorney | vigorously con- tended for a conviction under the act which the accused was charged with violating—not for the sake of punish- ing bim severely under the circumstances, but to vindi- cate the majesty of the Jaw and furnish an exampie to those who “‘aquatted”’ on valuable property within the ‘ony Limits, ‘The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, coupled with a recommendation to mercy. ‘Sentence in this and in the other cases was postponed.
