FOUR YEARS.

Sullivan, One of tho Brighton Robbers, Is Sentenced. John Sullivan and William Wright, the two individuals who were convicted last week of robbing an old man named Page, several months ago, at Brighton, appeared in Judge Van Fleet's court yesterday— that being the time set for receiving sentence. Wright's attorney, Mr. Tluiiiplirey, •stated that he intended to move for a new trial for his client and asked that the passing of sentence be postponed. The request was granted. Sullivan, however, was ready to "take his medicine." He had nothing in particular to say why judgment should not be pronounced against him. Judge Van "Fleet then sentenced iiim to four years' imprisonment in the San Quentin prison.
