Henrico Circuit Court.
--
Judge Gregory's Court met at 11 o'clock last Saturday, and proceeded to the trial of
ex-Capt. Hawley, charged with stealing a here from
Mr. Gathright, a member of
Capt. Wren's old command for local defence, or with receiving it from a man named Anaker, knowing the same to be stolen.
After hearing the evidence and argument of counsel, the jury found the prisoner guilty of felony, and ascertained his punishment at one year in the penitentiary.
William Thomas Breeden, indicted for breaking into
Charles H. Leber's slaughterhouse and stealing a lot of meat, was found guilty of petty larceny by the jury, and the
Judge sentenced him to the county jail for four months.
