RoggERY.-A gentleman named Day

RoBBERY.-A gentleman named Day,
who arrived in this city by the cars yesterday at.
ternoon was robbed of $500, either while on the
cars between Richmond and Aqua Creek, or at
the depot in this city. He had carefully placed his
wallet containing the money in side pocket in his
coat. and pinned it up. While passing down the
street towards the Exchange Hotel, his attention
was attracted by the falling before him of some OF
his letters and examining the breast his coat,
found that his pocket had been cut into and all his
money taken. OF course he has no idea when or
where the robbery was perpetrated.
Pickpockets seem to be driving thriving busi-
ness on the railroads at this time. Some few days
since an old gentleman, while travelling through
Georgia, had chlorolorm administered to him. and
while laboring under its effects, was robbed of
$1,000 by some unknown person. Travellers hav-
ing money with them, cannot be too careful of it,
if they wish to guard against the eucroachulens OF
the myriads of light fingered gentry now floating
about the country

f. Manchester, charged with passing three go
counterfeit notes on tina Merchants Bank of ynch-
burg, on the 18th Of December last, knowing the
same to be counterfeit
Having heretofore given the evidence In this case,
we shall not now undertake to detail 1t, but give the
substance, as folows:
The prisoner, in company with three other per.
Sons. arrived in this city the night of the 18th
December, and took lodgings at the United States
Hotel TIE next morning, at a very early hour,
he appeared at theficket Office OF the Richmond and
Danviile Railroad depot and purchased ticket to
Lyncbburg giving $50 counterfeit note and res
ceiving the change in current money. Abou. seven
o'clock the same morning. he purchased pair of
| pants from Morris Nelson, for s., giving $40
counterfeit note and receiving SIS in change and
in short time after this he purchased vest from
Mr.. Schloss, near the ST. Charles Hotel, giving an
other $40 note and receiving current change. This
Is about the total of the evidence agsost him,
except the admission on his part that he got the
counierfeits from man In New York city. believ-
ng them to be good money, for which he gave nor
thern funds
The defence proved, by Thomas Lawrence of N.
| York, that Manchester did get the money of a man
| in the Park. for which he gave northern funds. 1t
further proved by ten or twelve very respectable
gentlemen residing in this city aud near IT, that the
accused had always borne good character, until
| this charge was brought against him-that he was
| carpenter by trade, had worked in Richmond,
and the time OF his arrest, on his way to the
| Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad, where he ex-
| pected 10 be employed. Manchester had certificates
| of good standing from the Mssons, Odd Fellows
and Sons OF Temperance, of Boonville N. York,
| where he had resided for many years; and also
letters of recommends ton from gentlemen OF high
| STANDING.
Immediately on the close of the evidence and re-
| marks of counsel, the Court decided, by unani.

pearance, and argued it with marked ability and
Ingenuity, contending that the facts proved, when
| taken in connection with the high character OF the
accused, showed the suspicion OF guilt to be slight
| Mr. Daniel took an opposite view OF the matter,
and argued that where the facts OF guilt clear
| Iy made out, character could have no weight with
| the Court
The presiding Justice then took the question, and
| the Court refused to admit the prisonerto bail.
