Secession in Court.
--A day or two ago one William Chester was arraigned before the Kenlon (Ky.) Circuit Court, charged with passing a counterfeit bill on the State Bank of Louisiana.
After the evidence was hard, counsel for the prisoner claimed that as the State of Louisiana had seceded, the court had no jurisdiction in the case.
Judge Moore, however, ruled that as neither the President of the United States nor Congress has recognized secession, the trial would proceed under the laws, of Kentucky; and it did, resulting in the jury awarding Mr. Chester three years in the penitentiary.--Louisville Courier.
Free Negro pardoned.
--On Tuesday last the Executive pardoned and released from imprisonment in the city jail, Frances Moore, a Rockingham free negro, who was convicted by the judgment of the Hustings Court of this city, on the 11th of February, of grand larceny in purloining four silk dresses, the property of Miss Sarah Mayhew, stolen while the latter was stopping at the house of Rev. Patterson Fletcher, of this city.
The Court, in pursuance of law, condemned the prisoner to be sold into absolute slavery, on Monday next, by the City Sergeant.
