Judge Lyons's Court.
--James Slater was brought before the Hustings Court, Judge Lyons, on yesterday, to be tried for the murder of Wm. Clarke in Adams's Valley, several months since, but the absence of several witnesses material for the defence necessitated the continuation of the case until the next term. The prisoner was thereupon taken back to jail. Clarke, it will be remembered, died from the effects of a pistol shot wound, given by Slater in one of those sudden and bloody affrays that need so often to disgrace the city, before the proclamation of martial law.
