RECEIVING STOLEN GooDs.-The continued case
of Mary Baker, charged with receiving stolen goods
belonging to Louis Bossieux, was taken up by the
Mayor ON yesterday. 1t viii be remembered that
at her last examination Henry Holmes, slave to Jo-
seph Hckswas incupated in the matter, and charged
with hiring the house in which the cookshopis kept
and also hiring Mary. From the evidence which
was of an invslued character, in consequence of
the prevaricution OF Holmes, it appeared that the
goods claimed by Bossieux, box of segars and a
jar of picked hnis, had been taken to Holmes
house without the knowledge of Mary Baker, who
simply employed to wait upoa the shop during
the day. She was. therefore, discharged. Archey
Page, slave to Mr.. B., it was proved, had always
borne doubtful character, and the suspicion that
he took the goods from his masters store to Holmes
amounting almost to proof he was ordered by the
Mayor, twenty lasles. The Mayor also ordered
Holmes thirty nine lashes. Officer Warrington testi-
lied that Holmes, slave, kept spirituous liquors
for sale, besides miscellaneous assortment of gro
cer'ies and candies. The Mayor ordered the shop
to be broken up as as possible
