Judgment was given in the conspiracy case to-day, when the B.M. dismissed 1 the information. An application was made to have prosecutor bound over to prosecute under th* malicious indictment act, which was granted. This places the case virtually in the same position as if defendants had been committed, only they are not required to find sureties.
