Gambling ties in case over six thousand dollars
The judge charged the jury that merchants were owed by Colton to the amount of six thousand dollars, lost at a Faro House. The verdict awarded plaintiffs four thousand two hundred fifty dollars plus interest from 1843. A genealogical box from Charleston is suspected forgery. Texas prisoners in Mexico were reported released only partially. General Jackson urged Mexican authorities to free captives on parole. A Fort Leavenworth inquiry will try Captain Cook over actions with Col Sniverly’s party.

Augusta Market Report Notes Steady Cotton Demand
The Augusta market shows steady demand for cotton with prices quoted around six to eight cents for square bales. Buyers are active but many holders refuse to sell at current levels as both local and Hamburg stockpiles remain large for the season. Bagging remains in limited demand and groceries show a dull week, though merchants expect higher cotton purchases as prices rise.
