The case of N'eri Deitrich, one of tho Poor Directors charged with accepting bribes, was called befoie Judgo Archibald yesterday afteriiuon after the libel case was given to tho jury. The motion on the part of counsel for the defendant, Messrs. Whitehouho and Marr, to unasli tlie indictment w.is overruled.
