Pardoned.
--James Mercer, a free negro convict in the Penitentiary, was pardoned by Governor Letcher on Thursday.
The prisoner was sent thither for 3 years, by the Hustings Court of this city, on the 13th day of July, 1858, for stealing a horse belonging to Talbott & Brother.
His time expired on the 26th of July, but he would have been kept in five years more had it not been for the interposition of Executive clemency, he having been received in the prison on the 11th of September, 1854, for three years, for stealing Dan. Hunt's horse, which term he served out. It would seem that Mercer had an uncontrollable penchant for unauthorized riding.
Both times he tried it he only got a few hundred yards before being taken up. He was pardoned for meritorious conduct and for vigorously exerting himself to stop the recent fire that consumed some of the workshops of the prison.
