RECORDER CALDwELL's COURT. Yesterday
morning the dock presented an array of criminals
who were charged with petty offences, such va.
grancy, drunkenness, assaults and breaches of the
peace. Many of them bore marks of severe pun.
ishment on their frontispieces, and some of their
eyes were made into " wee peepers," as Burns calls
them, by the effects of black swellings, while their
nasal prominences and chronological busts showed
that want of tenderness had been displayed in the
manner in which they had been used. Most Of
them were summarily convicted, and f,.ed 81 for
their crimes.
Breach of Trust-William T. Hamblin was
brought up yesterday upon charge of having com
mitted breach of trust, in appropriating money
belonging to Mrs. Mary J. Mcllvain to his owl
use. 1t appears that about the 10th day of No
vember, 1885, Mrs. McIlvain entrusted to him $50
for the purpose of purchasing roulette wheel
which she intended to ship TO Chagres. Hambllr
took the money away, but did nor perform the dull
as he promised, and there being no chance of get
ting either money or roulette wheel, Mrs. McIvai'
made an affidavit against him, and charged hin
with fraudulently obtaining the money. On tn
third of May he went 10 the house of Mrs. Nell
