MAYORS CouTT. -Norfolk.--Two or three
minor cases of violated ordinances, 10 which
the parties had neglected their licenses, were
saiudicated and several cases Of breach OF
the peace followed.
James Sexton for fighting in the street was
fined Ave collars
Robert Wyatt was complained of by Mrs.
Nancy Collins for calling her hard names and
threatening to kick her out Of his yard. 1t
appeared that the difficulty grew out of Mr..
WAITS refusal to supply Mrs. Collins with
water from his cistern Mrs Collins said Sc 9
would get water when she wanted it, and
Mr. W. informed her that if she came on
his lot he would kick her e1. This
raised the dander of the cd lady and she
gave vent to her indignation in such
an audible manner, as to be heard by, and at
tract the attention of other parties Very
ugly epithets were used, and considerable
"spluter" raised, in which neither party were
very complimentary The Mayor fined Mr.
w. ten dollars, and Mrs. Colling FIVE dollars,
and then held her in bonds to the amount OF
fifty dollars, to keep the peace for Blk
months.
Commonwealth Us. Meeks This wssa case,
in some respects like the above in this, that
there was "greatcry and little wool" Mrs
Exnsr complained Of Mr.. Meeks, for an in
terferance in some difficulty between herself
and Mrs. NJ. The trouble appeared to grow
out of the use of a vacant lot on Wide Water
street, which had been used 10 common by the
neighborhood, but which had lately been leas-
ed by Mrs. Exner. Mrs. M. had hung clothes
on this lot to dry, and Mrs, E. ordered them
away or she would cut the line this threat
to loosen the clio hes cord only served to
loosen the cords Of the tor CUES of all.parties;
great deal of talk followed, some of which
was not very polite, and Mrs. E. considering
herselfaggrieved, applied 10 the::Mayor to have
Mr.. M. bound over. His Honor heard the
case patiently through, aud then decided to
bind all parties over which he did for twelve
months in the sum of one hundred dollars
each.

than could have been expected of the little
performers and gave evident satisfaction, but
the nsttm entail portion of the programme
was the feature that seemed 10 most delight
