Mining Case Settled. — This morning O'Leary and about twenty others appeared before Justice Pyper, to answer a charge of holding wrongful possession of the South Star and Titus mines, to the exclusion of the proper owners, Tarbot et al. It appears that the owners were indebted to the defendants for work, and they held possession of the mines to secure their pay. Mr. Hemingray, who appeared for the defendants, stated that he had discovered that they had been wrongfully advised by certain parties to make the step they had, that they were willing now to make reparation, &c., and on this showing of the case the defendants were dismissed from custody.
