sort OF combination of merchandise which, in
bunch, entities it to the name Of Junk shop"

to account, yesterday, were observed the prem-
ses recognized as his own, and claimed by M

smiths shop, and has usually other persons than
| himself IN charge OF his premises, proved ny TWO
witnesses that he had purchased these identcal
tools from white lady, who told Frank more Ihan
once that she selling them to enable her nus
band (who had sent her to sell them) to go up the
river Recorder Hale remarked that there was a
strong prejudice against Junk SHOPS, but, IN this

nation y IS gone mo Yesterday, which occupied
The time Of the Court to very little purpose, during
a good portion Of its sitting "A girl Of about twelve
years OF age, had been taken from the Orphan Asy-
lum by lady named Mrs. Perry. The gid has liv-
ed N Hrs. Perty's house for three years, and, "A
short time ago, left it. Since that time, according
10 her own account, she has lived in various houses
but all Of them named We're shown 10 be resperta-
bic houses. Early this week, the girl charged Ms
Perry and her daughter, Mrs Walcomet, with hav-
ing abused her. Both Mrs, Perry ana Mrs Wal
comet We're pFesent--lhe latter accompanied by her
husband. IL appeared that MIS-. Wacom.t had
nothing whatever 10 do with or say in The matter
and at once, by consent Of all partes that lady was
considered mereya " 'OOker on IN Vienna " Many
witnesses were adduCed on both sides. The most
Of these Witnesses were or had been bOardeEs in Mrs
Perry's house, and therefore seemed well uualif
ed TO sP ak to the matters in dispute There was
some contradictory testimony, hut the mass Of the
evidence went TO show, that Mrs Perry was res
rgced by all who knew her, and treated the gid
we'll in health, and with great care N sickness
The general impression C,ea,ed ny the evidence
hearts, "a been a'MiOI7 to see sUns such prOsecu-
non a. this instituted. Mrs. Perry was Discharged,
and Recorder Hale, WHO showed much feeling u
a.ceJiainIrg the facts OF the case, said that The
girl should be provided for"
