| Criminal 1riai.-As yet but little progress has
been made in the u s. Court in the trial of Octayus ).
Austin. citizen Of Campbell county, on the charge
Oh perjury. Yesterday morning, Judge Halybur-
ton overruled the motion of his counsel to ouash
the indictment The counsel then filed demurrer,
which the court sustained because of the informal.
ity OF the indictment This action places the
accsed just where he stood on this charge when
first arrested
The prisoner was next arraigned on the third in.
dictment for forgery, and rs soon as the counts
were read, his counsel demurred to them, because
OF informalty Austin is charged with forging
papers ana procuring pension fee for Mrs Sarah
w. Austin, who Is represented as the widow of
DR.. A. Austin surgeon in the Sd regiment of Vr.
ginia militia in the war of 1872 and with counter
feiting the seal of Bedford county court as well rs
with forging the names of the presiding justice
and clerk. There are sixteen indictments against
this unfortunate young man. and his counsel have
determined to resort to every technicality to get
rid OF portion OF them At the conclusion of
the argument, the Judge took time to examine au.
| thorities on points raised by the defence.
| Rob6ery.-Some ,few evenings since, five small
| boys broke pane of glass in q. Gronwalds win
| dow on Broad street, and then stole four or five
| pistols and few TASKS. BY inquiry the names of
these chaps have been found out, and most of the
| lost articles recovered, but the police have not
arrested any of them. If there was any assurance
| that these little fellows would not continue the
practice of stealing they might be forgiven for this
crime, but if the offence is repeated, they will be
taken before the Mayor and soundly punished.
| Deaf MHte.-George w. Burke q deaf and dumb
man, whose relatives reside in Norfolk was arrest
ed night before last in the market house. and tax
to the cage because he had no lodging place. Yes
| terday morning the Mayor directed that he should
be provided for until to-day, and then be put on
| the Curtis Peck and sent home.
Descrter Cap,ured.- BENJAMIN l.. Amos, q dc sert
| er from the U. s. Army, was arrested in this city
| last Thursday night by Lieutenant Trueheart, and

| ing Ben's prospects for travelling hard road are
| very latteripg from present indications
| Not Done WiM-Joseph Elan again appeared
| before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge
| of assaulting and beating Malinda Underwood q
free woman, but owing to the absence OF witnesses
for the accused the examination was adjourned
| till Monday next.
Tnsolence-Two negro women, Sarah and Ada.
line, slaves of John Talmap jr., were ordered by
the Mayor yesterday to be punished by stripes for
using insolent and provoking language to Mrs
Bolton. Nothing like dry beef fer saucy tongues
No, Guilty The examination of Michael Du
gan, dealer in the second market, on the charge
of using abusive language to Mrs Hutzler, proved
that Mike did no more talking than the lady. and
that both were at fault He WAS therefore dis
| charged.
