AS IMPORTANT LAW CASE. Utoriii D< . ply Infcreitcd—Full Particular* Given. From the llaitinicrc GascUe, June 30.] TV cases of the State of Maryland vs. M.. lison J. Marnns, of Augusta, Go., indicted on the charge of obtaining goods on false pretences in Baltimore last fall, \rere decided yesterday in the Criminal Court, his Honor,| Judge Gil* mor, sitting as judge and jury, the pris oner having elected to have his trial be fore the Court Too trial occupied au entire week, haring been begun on the 2*2<1 inj-tunt, and attracted very general interest throughontthocommunity, more especially among the mercantile classed. Six indictments were found against the accused, one of which was baMsl on charges preferred by Messrs. M. L. Straus .t Co., whoh.sale fclothiers, 2oO West Baltimore street, from whom there was obtained merchandise valued at &V 300, being the largest bill bought by Mr. Marcos. The other indictments were on charges of Messrs. Hurst A Co., dry goods deal ers, 241 West Baltimore street; Messrs. Baker, BruiY & Co., wholesale dry goods dealers, 245 West Baltimore street: Messrs. WicsonfoM A Co., wholesale clothiers, 232 West Baltimore street; and two indictments on similar chargee by Messrs. Hoclit A PatzeJ), boot, shoo and hat dealers, :>02 West Baltimore street.— The amount bought by the accused from those several houses aggregated about ^7,000. Mr. Marcus was arrested in Au gusta lost September upon u requisition from Governor Bowie, and brought on and lodged in jail in this city. In a week or two thereafter his connsel, Col. J. Fairfax McLaughlin, procured his re lease, Hon. John M* rryman, < instav Ober, Esq,, Col. It. M. Johnston und Solomon Murcup, Esq., appearing as bail for the aeons d in the penalty of $15,500. The varionsindictments, by agreement among connsel, ycre tried together, and t uo test case was that of Messrs. Straus A Co., the evidence developed in this being supported principally by tlmt brought out bv the witnesses for the same house, and for those of Messrs. Ba ber, Brill! A' Co., and Messrs. Jlcdit A Patzall. The prosecution abandoned the other indictment*, tho testimony not go ing to provo the cases for the State. The speeificati *ns alleged against Mr. .'larcns wero embraced under four heads, viz: First, that be represented his business in Augusta ns a cash one, and that it reach ed ^23,000 to 30,000 a yt»nr; second, tlmt lie represented bis stock on hand nt the lime of hia purchases nt about $h,O00; third, that he represented himself ns free from debt, and lourlli, tlmt he rej'tvsent- ed himself as ownii g *2,000 in real es tate in Elberton. (J* orpin. To these sev tral statements tin* indictments plead negative averments, and issue was joined. The arguments of counsel extended over throe days, and nt tlieir conclusion on ycstcnliv, Judge Gilmer summed up the entire evidence and law of tho case in a very full and interesting manner, .and laid it down sis n well-set tied princi ple of law that the actual condition, the liuancial ability, and the solvency in con nection with the r* presentations of the accused nt the time the purchases were made, constituted tho gratuuu-n of the ease, and tlmt in order to make it out on the part of tho State tho representations of tho accused must be proved to have Leen false, and the goods obtained by iiicau c of them; they* < ntcr or fraudulent iutcut bo proved, and tho insolvency of Fio trovers* r be established. In tho case in question it was proved by various wit nesses, among others by the clerk of tho accused, that liis business was substan tially ns great as ho represented it to be; that his stock wn < worth £S,000, and ev idence of alcg.il title in Mr. Marcus to property worth S2,(K)0 ia Elberton, (»cor gi.i, had actually been prod not'd in C urt. In regard to the lcprescntatbm made by tho travel.- i i . t he woh L e Ironi debt, his Honor li Id tlmt the pioseeu- tion bad entirely failed to produce evi dence of the existence «>t any liabilities against him. His actual condition tunc, w uen lie bought the goods could only be considered by the Court. Judge Uilmor undo numerous citations of authorities t » fortify liis division, nod cni.ejuiled by ordering o verdict of not guilty t • bn en tered iu tho case. The «cc|kr»I was no conliugly discharged. The {State was reprisalded l y A. Leo Knott, Esq., State's Att. ri.ey, t «>louel Cuarles Marshal! and Milton Wnitney, Esq ; tho accused by .fudge Linton Stephens, of Sparta, Georgia, itichard J. Gittings, E*q , Old. J. Fairfax McLmgh- liu, M. A. M.illiu, l. q , and Mulcetiu Johnson, Esq. Tho trial was conducted with eminent, ability on both sides, Messrs. Mmshall and Knott pirtieipating in the argument for the proHivution, ftiut Messrs, tiittiugs, Mcltughlin aad tt.opti ons for the ilcfeuce. Tho last, a brother of Alexander li.
