BILE OF John B. Stephens, underwent an ex-
animation before the Mayor yesterday, and
was sent on to the Hastings Court Tor fur
ther trial. The testimony Of witness % for
the Commonwealth proved conclusivoly the
guilt of the accused, Notwithstanding the
lame assertion of a man named Henry Till
man, that he had heard, on Saturday night,
John Neidham say that Toombs was inno-
cent, and that he himself had stolen the
horse According to Tillnan's testimony,
Neldham had hardly disclosed to him his
connection with the horse stealing before he
jumped on the cars and lett for Lynchburg
The Mayer paid no regard to his evidence

Reprehensib1e--The practice of bringing
Detore the Mayor OF this city mere children
for charges Of petty theits &c, is one which
should merit censure rom the legal authori
ties and our citizens generally. Yesterday
morning two little boys, named Richard
Colien and Morgan Burns, of respectable
appearance and GoDicc.20r, one Of whom was
oIlly seven years of ago, and the ether about
nine. were arrAigned on the complaint Thos.
Ii. Owens OF stealing from his residence
a gold watch few days since. Owenss
testimony threw strong suspicion on the
accused; bat every one who witnessed the
distress of these children, and heard their
protestations against any intent to commit
"a wrong as wei as denial Of the charge, en-
teriaincd only one opinion, and that was,
that parental jurisdiction and punishment
was the most proper tribnnai TO haYe car
yici the case, and not Court of Justice,
which is only intended Ter the most harden
ed criminals, whose as4 and experience
should teach them the magnitude Of lhe Of
fence which they commit. OF course His
Honor discharged tie children and turned
them over to their parents to be puni-hc
rs they may think best.
