Another Rioter Sent On. – Sarah Champion, whose name conjures up a vision of Joan of Arc, was arraigned before the Hustings Court yesterday for participating in the late riot, and after a hearing, was remanded to be tried for felony. The civil authorities have properly determined to make an example of all, male and female, who were engaged in that famous thieving expedition.
