A very interesting case will prob ably bo tried in the city court today, in which an important point of law will bo decided At toe last session of t.,e city court Goo. Ponder, colored, was tried on too charge of keeping a lewd house The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and Judge Sparks sentenced Ponder to serve a term ol r, mouths on the chain gang and pay a fine of SIOO. Pontier and his attorneys fought the sentence of Juuge Sparks and efforts were made to get hint to commute the sentence. For a while it looked as (hough he would have, to serve the term. Finally, his attorneys appealed the case to the state pardon board, and tnat. body commuted the sentence as to the chaingatig, but increased the fine from SIOO to $250.
