Supreme Court of Appeals.
--The Judges of this court recently allowed a writ of error on the application of Joseph Bernard, who was condemned to nine years in the Penitentiary for the murder of J. Oscar Taylor.
All further proceedings under the sentence passed by Judge Gregory were ordered to be stopped till the merits of the application be discussed before the court.
John A. H. R. Armistead, who was sent to the State's Prison for grand larceny by Judge Lyons' court, also applied for a writ of error, but the same was denied.
The court also refused the petition of Octavus Austin, asking that Col. Pendleton, superintendent of the Penitentiary, should be required to show by what authority he was held in custody.
The record shows that Austin was sent to the Penitentiary, Dec. 16, 1856, by the U. S. District Court, on two convictions for fraud in respect to bounty land warrants.
Prisoner is a lawyer, and a native of Bedford county, in this State.
