G. Short, a North Carolina soldier, was tried for the murder, near the Old Market, of a comrade named George Balley. Mr. D. B. Lucas appeared for the prisoner, who was found by the jury guilty of voluntary manslaughter, and his term of imprisonment in the Penitentiary was fixed at three years. The trial of Wm. Fitzgerald for murder was commenced at 5 o'clock. Before Commissioner Watson.--A man named J. G. Williams was carried before C. S. Commissioner Watson yesterday for examination on the charge of presenting a forged paper at the Quartermaster's Department, for the purpose of drawing his pay as a soldier. The evidence of guilt was so strong that the prisoner was remanded for trial before the District Court. Two men, named John C. Ware and Robert E. Miller, were also examined for attempting to pass several Philadelphia imitations of C. S. Treasury notes as genuine money. The proof did not sustain the allegation made against the parties, and they were turned loose.
