GRAND LARCENY, RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS
AND ASSAULT AND BATTERY.-Agnes White,
who is but few days out of the workhouse,
was arrested yesterday by officer Grant, of the
Fourth Ward, upon charge OF stealing
shawl valued at ten dollars. After getting out
of the workhouse, Agnes went to shanty near
Stanton Hospital, kept by Sarah Mcneil, who
gave her lodgings and something to eat. Agnes
got drunk and stole her friends shawl, and
sold 1t to a woman named Ellen Foley. Agnes
plead guilty, and was sent to Jail for court by
Justice Giberson.
This morning, Ellen Foley was arrested by
officer Howard, upon charge Of receiving
stolen goods; also, on charge OF assault and
battery. The case of receiving stolen goods
was dismissed, upon the goods being restored
to the original owner, and the assault and bat
terry case was postponed for further hearing.
A DULL SHARP.-A young fellow, who
claims to belong to Indiana, went into Bar
row &c McKelden's banking rooms, Bank of
Washington building,) and presented what
lege Bank, New York, and asked for two
thousand dollar bills and the balance in
smaller notes, in change for it. Mr.. A. r.
Allen being present took the young man into
Justice Kinsey's, where he was searched, and
a small amount of good money and baggage
check Of Wizards Hotel was found on him.
He was not much disposed to give any account
of himself. The piece of paper was no doubt
simply an advertising check, such as as are
commonly used now, and as the arrested party
he had found it and thought 1t good money, he
will probably be dismissed.

tons Of coal, was sunk in the channel near
