Genl;
I have the honor to report that on the 14th inst Capt Wm H.H. Peck called on me and presented for my investigation and report a complaint filed by Isaac Richie before J.C. Keffer a commissioner &c against J.E. Warren, W.S. White, Mike Floyd and John Cody. On the same day I issued a warrant to the sheriff, and on the following day he brought all the parties before me in open Court. No witnesses being present I bound them over to appear before me on Friday next, and have since recovered a number of witnesses from the neighborhood of the commission of the alledged  offenses.

The Bonds are in amounts as follows J.E. Warren $1500, W. S. White $1000, Mike Floyd $500 and John Cody $500. I am of opinion that the two first are the principal offenders, and besides I was induced to reduce the amount
