The Harrison Telegraph, Cadiz, Ohio, Saturday, April 10, 1824 During the last session of the Court of Common Pleas for this county, which commenced on Tuesday last, two separate bills of indictment were found against David Hermitage and David Vleet. The first against David Hermitage "for horse stealing, and against David Vleet as accessory, before the fact, to the felony and larceny." The second against David Hermitage " for horse stealing, and against David Vleet for harboring him, knowing him to be a thief." Hermitage was tried and convicted in both cases. But Vleets case was continued, in consequence of a motion by his council to have the case delayed until an application could be made to the Supreme court to have the trial removed to another county, under a plea that public. Excitement was too much against him to admit of a fair trial in this county. The whole prosecution rested on the testimony of Wm. H. Gardner, whose character was not impeached by any evidence before the court, although several witnesses had been summoned for that purpose. Yesterday afternoon Hermitage was brought into open court, and was sentenced to five year's imprisonment in the Penitentiary on each conviction -- one month in each year to the cells. We have given a copy of sundry papers on the second page of this paper to show the means by which Mr. Garner became an evidence in these cases NOTICE By virtue of an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Harrison count, at the April term 1824, we will sell at the court house in Cadiz, on Saturday the 29th of May next, a lot of land situated in the town of Cadiz, belonging to the estate of Sylvester Johnson deceased, being a part of lots No.'s 121 and 130 in said town.
