HusTINGs CoURT-On Tuesday last, this Court
was occupied in the transaction of civil business
generally.
The Grand Jury brought in indictments for mis-
demeanor against the following persons Emanuel
Raymond, Christiana John Jsizer, Philip Froman,
Jacob Cross, "a free negro) Charles Holman, Fred.
eriek Burgamin, William Vest, D. T. Anthony,
Michael Walsh, David Walsh, Thomas McDesr-
mon, and Samuel Frazier.
They also found true bills against Shadrick, and
Nokiah Lysander, negroes, for remaining in the
Commonwealth contrary to law. .a
The Indictment against Mary Tyree, free wo.
man, for keeping house of ill fame, was ignored.
The appeal of free negro named Benjamin Rix,
from decision of the Mayor, who had ordered 15
90 and 80 lashes, to be administered on different
days to the negro, for stealing two vest patterns
from clothier, beating the owner of the patterns
and seeking to escape from the cage after ar rest
was considered, and the decision of the Mayor rat
fed with an increase of "a lashes.
The case of Cornelius Sims, slave to Elizabeth
Mayo; John Sims, slave to VIM. Mayo; Jasper
slave to Alexander Porter, and Nelson, slave to
George Smithers, charged with 5urglariously enter
ing the jewery store of Mr.. ii. A. Pearce, between
two and three O'Clock on the morning of the 5th
inst, and stealing therefrom three gold rings, val
ued at IS each, and breastpin worth IS, came up
Yesterday for examination. Cornelius Sims wal
first tried and acquitted. The other three were
then arraigned jointly, and after hearing the evi
dence, the Court not being unanimous-we under
stand there was only one for acquittal-as to the
guilt of the slaves they were discharged from far
ther prosecution ! The evidence proved clearly
that two of the rings positively identified and claim
ed by Mr.. Pearce as missing from bis stock-were
found in Johns pocket-and that Jasper was found
secreted In cellar underneath Pearces store, soon
after the commission of the burglary. by Waterman
Meredith-the third missing gold ring also identi
fed by Mr.. Pearce, being In his Gasper'S pocket
book-and the missing breastpn also recognised
as sent in for repair to MIR. P, being found In Jas
per's trunk The circumstantial evidence OF guilt
was certainly very strong against John Sims and
Jasper, and they merit severe punishment.
DEATH OF HANNIBAL TRENT.-There Is hardly
passenger through this city for many years that
