MALs-On Wednesday night the stables of Mr..
j. A. Bentz living in Carroll county, near Hoods
Mills, about IS miles from Baltimore, were entered,
and two horses, with saddles and brides were stO-
len theretrOm. As soon as the theft was discover
ed, Mr.. Bentz and his set about to gain some
clue to the thieves. The horses on Thursday morn
ing were tracked for some distance the road
leading to Baltimore, and Mr. Saml. BentZ i'm
mediatelv took the cars for this city and cOmmun-
Gated with the police of the Western district
From certain information received officer McDOn-
aid, with Mr.. Bentz, started out the Beair road,
and at the first toll gate learned that two strangers
on horseback had gone out the road that morning.
The pursuing party kept on and in short time
met upon the road two men, named John Conrad
and Lawrence Rieman.
They were both arrested, and upon being ques-
toned, it was acertained that they had been fur
ther out the road and had sold Of Mr.. Bentz's
horses to negro living IA miles from the city, for
$50. The party proceeded to this place and secured
| the horse Conrad and Kuhn locked up at
| the Station-house during Thursday night. After
this arrest, officers Mcdonald and Brooks took a
conveyance, and proceeding to a house on the An
napOlis road about 4 miles from the city, arrested
man named Jacob Kuhn, whom they found in bed
also securing the other horse of Mr.. Bentz, which
was standing in the stable. All the arrested parties
were committed to Jail by Justice Ensor to await
the acton ofthe authorities of Carroll county. The
man Conrad had been formerly in the employ of
Mr.. BentZ.
AGGRAVATED AssAULT.-Y esterday afternoon a
| man named John Fenton porter of the National
! Hotel, on Camden street, was arrested by officer
| Van Holland, on the charge of committing an as
saut upon Mr.. Thaddeus Viator, of New York,
who had been stopping at that house. 1t appeared
that Mr. ViatOr about to settle his bill at the
office, from which, at the time, the clerk was ab-
sent, and that Fenton presuming to act in that
pacity, charged him at the rate of 50 per dav,
which Mr.. Viator refused to pay; alleging that as
| he had previously boarded at the house, he was
| nf he chnTpps This led tn
! some angry words from Fenton, who was abusing
| the stranger when the clerk entered, who made
out tAe account according to the views of Mr.. Via
tor. Afterwards, that gentleman proceeded to his
room, and was followed by Fenton, continuing his
abuse until Mr. Vator left the hotel; but having oc-
casOn to again return was knocked down and kicked
| by Fenton. Complaint made before Justice
| Showacre, and FentOn was arrested and put under
security of 81 900 to appear at Court James Owings
| becoming his bondsman. An attempt was after
| wards made by the friends of Fenton to have a
warrant issued for the arrest of Mr.. Viator, but
Justice Showacre refused to comply with the re-
quest The parties then went before Justice Boyd,
! who issued a warrant, and Mr.. NiatOr brought
before him. After hearing the evidence the Justice
dismissed the case, being of the opinion that Mr..
| Viator had been most grossly outraged.
Police AppoINrMEvTs.-The has been rather an
unpleasant deception practised upon some of the
! applicants to the Board of Police Commissioners
| for situations the new force. Some parties have
secured a number of blanks, such used
by the city authorities for commissioning officers
and have filled them up with the names of appli,
cants, and sent them to their address. The dsap.
pontment which has followed the discovery of the
| deception has been very annoying. We are autho-
rized to state that the Police Commissioners have
made no appointments other than that of Marshal
and Deputy Marshal.
! APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE OF THE CRIMINAL CoURT.-
| Governor Hicks has appointed Hugh Lennox Bond,
| Esq, as Judge of the Criminal Court rice Henry
