Abram, slave of Andrew Ellett, was ordered twenty lashes for striking a white boy named Henry C. Frazier.

Alexander Kennedy, charged with being a paroled Yankee from Staunton, who has been brought into Court and remanded daily on the same charge during the last fortnight, was called up, and then told to "set back."
