The law provides that within days after the adjournment of any c court of record or of any term of the Superior court at which criminal cases are triable, the clerk thereof shall transmit to the General's office a duly certified statement of the of indict- finally disposed at such court, tho number for each separate the number on which con- were had, end on which de- were acquitted ; and of in against persons, who were convicted on confession, or who were discharged without trial; also the name, age, occupation, sex, race and offense of every person convicted at such court pleading any offense, together with such other items of information in relation to such convicts and their offenses the Attorney-General shall require. The penalty for fail- to comply with this section is fifty dollars for each offense. The of such reports shall be transmitted to each Legislature in tabulated form. By this means a comparative statement of crime can be had and it can be known whether it is ins creasing or decreasing, but such re- ports will not give accurate as misdemeanors are finally dispensed of by justices of the peace and reports these are not required by the law.- Nine Wilmington Review The dead body of an unknown white man was yesterday afternoon in a dense thicket, about yards from Point road, near Jump- Run, much decayed.
