Henrico County Court.

--On Friday, Mark A. Shope and Wm. Timberlake, indicted for selling ardent spirits without license, and Jas. C. Taliaferro, for illegal voting, were acquitted. A nolle prosequi was entered in the case of James Franklin, alias James Miller, for injuring the lands of John H. Goodman. The cases of Leander C. Blackburn and Adam France, for assault, were continued to next term.

The following cases were disposed of on Saturday: A. Rix, presented for injuring the lands of Fendall Griflin, fined $1 and costs.--Wm. Wilker, for selling ardent spirits without license, fined $60 under the new law, and costs in the second case. Lewis Norberger, for a similar offence, fined $60 by the Court.--Adam Whittle, presented for selling ardent spirits without license, was acquitted; the case of John Noker was continued, and that of Mary Burkman was dismissed, the defendant being dead. The case of Jas. W. Gill, for illegal voting, was continued to next term. On Thursday next, the cases of Heckler and others will be called up, and parties concerned should attend promptly.

A formidable array of legal talent appeared in the trials on Saturday, and as they progressed, some exciting scenes occurred.--We entreat gentlemen of the profession to be patient and forgiving, and thus set an example of peace and good will to the world around them.
