DECISION OF THE HERzBERG CAsE.-A young
man named Her, temporarily sojOurning I'm this
city, and stopping at a boarding hOuse on q
| street, was very mysteriously dispossesssd of
gold watch, as he alleges, on the 2ls day Of Feb
ruary last. How the robbery took place. and I'M
der what circumstances, he is entirely unable to
say. In his deposition before Justice Dom he is
very positive that at II IN. he had it in his posses
sion at the house of MIR. 5. X. Handy, and Mr.
Handy corrobo; ates the same statement in his de-
position, as he saw him comparing it with his
clock, and they proceeded down the Avenue to-
gether, short distance; Mr.. ker continuing on to
the Capitol, and in passing Galts establishment.
near Seventh street, again examined his watch.
and continued on to the Capitol and took his seat
in a crowd. After the rising of the House, he
turned to his boardnghou about p. m, and
after arriving there he missed his watch The
watch had black ribbon for guard, and the
watch could not have been removed from bis
pocket without cutting the guard removing it
from his neck. by passing the guard Immediately
before his eyes and he is very positive at no time
during those hours he was asleep. He being 4
few days afterwards in the Capitol had letter
placed in his hands by negro, the writer pur-
porting to he female. stating that her husband
had taken the watch, and being in needy circum-
stances, had pawned it with Mr. Isaac Herzberg,
a I,awnhroker licensed for said purpose receiving
therefor IS 50, ana enclosing the ticket. which
bore date the Dist ult
The case came before Justice Dom for the pur-
pose of decision respecting the payment of the
money advanced, Mr. Hertzberg having delivered
the watch to Officer Allen for said purpose. An
intelligent young man doing business for Mr..
HertzbeTg testified that the pledge was taken by
him, being the second one that morning, and i'm
mediately after his return from the Centre Market;
and was positive as to the date. The watch guard
was unbroken. The Justice, in view of the case,
believing in the respectabilty Of Mr.. HerZb erg,
who received the pledge in good faith, without
any means of ascertaining that the party who
| made the pledge had come to it unlawfully, the
witness testifyng to the general appearance Of
her responsibility, and the to time of the
loss, alleged by the party losing, decided that
MIR. Hertzberg was entitled to the return of the
| money advanced. This decision OF Justice
Donn is the first that has been made in this city
in such case. similar case was once decided
in Baltimore.
THE THEATRE.-The audience. last night, rs
has been the case on each appearance of Mr.
Murdoch and the present excellent company, was
large and brilliant Among those who seemed to
enjoy the admirable performance with the apprp-
Presidents niece, Senator Mason, and not 4 few
of those upon the top wave of w ashington
ciety. Mr.. Murdoch, though hardly juvenile
enough for the gardeners in the - Lady Of
Lyons" was otherwise thoroughly admirable as
Claude Melnotte;'' while Mrs Gladstane "a
charming actress by the way) was, with her sweet
face, fine eyes, graceful figure, and judicious
ton, the very best Pauline" we can call to mind

but that little rendered with the careful effec
