MAYORS CoURT, NORFOLK. Hon. Thos. Tabb
presiding. The earlier portion of yesterday 8
session was occupied in issuing warrants
against sundry persons for violating the ordls
nance prohibitiBg the throwing OF garbage or
slops in the streets. The regular docket was
then takeu up as follows: .
Commonwealth vs. g. W. Clark; charged
with stealing pocket book, containing fifteen
dollars, from Thos. Burke. There being no
evidence to convict the accused he was dis,
charged.
Commonwealth Us. Phillip Hinchman and
John Champion, charged with being concern
ed in the robbery of Freeman's jewelry store.
Hnchman proved an abb and was discharged.
There being no evidence 10 warrant the de-
tention of Champion, he also was set atliber-
ty.
Common wealth Us. John Orrell alias Sulli-
van, charged with burglary and robbery; id
this, that he did on Monday morning Oath
of July, between the hours of l and break
into and rob the store of Joseph Freeman, of
sundry articles of jewslry and silver ware, as
enumerated, aud did then and there take and
carry away said articles. DRILL alias Snlli-
van confessed that he not only entered this
store at the lime given, but that he had prsv-
ously broken into and robbed Grif6n's shoe
store and Greenwood's jewelry store. He was
remanded for examination before the corpos
ration court.
Commonwealth Us Robt. Paterson, charg,
cd with being party to the burglary and
robbery, committed at Freemau's jewelry store
denied the ''soft Impeachment" but unfortu-
natey for bis peace of mind and personal
liberty, the confession of Grill, alias Sullivan
had made him ''the power behind the throne"
Drill claimed that Patterson s'put up the job
and that he Drill 'cracked it;'' and that Pats
terson not oaly received the goods, but hid
them in q wood near the city Patterson was
also committed for examination before the
corporation court
There is little doubt, but both Drill and
Patterson are precious rascals, who had emil
grated to this city, from Richmond, in COM
pauy with others Of like stripe, for the purpose
of depredating upon this unsuspecting com
munity. And The better TO hide their meta,
house, on The upper part of Cumberland street.
where they pretended to prosecute the pro.
fession of cobblers, but VIII re- according to the
statement of Patterson himself, they dosed
away the greater part of The day no doubt
the better to do their prowling and tbieving
at night.
Patterson acknowledged that he had been
in the State prison once and on being led
by the council for Hinchman, ssf he had been
there more than once" replied that he 'sefl
that for him to find out" He Patterson-is
the man who gave the information, as 70 the
whereabouts of the stolen property and it is
supposed that he did so because either he
and Drill had fallen out about a division of
the spoils, or because he was afraid of detection
and thought that by telling whore the goods
could be found, and accusing other parties,
he would ward off suspicion from himself and
confederate. For, it will be ell to ate that
ne had never accused Grill with being parts
clpis crsnainis, nor did he know that drill
would accuse him.
There can be bat little doubt but this is a
portion of that brigade of despecadtes and
thieves who escaped from the Psnitentiary on
the morning of the Bird of April last. Nor il
there much doubt, but that others of them
are now In this city, or Portsmouth, awaiting
chance to depfedate upon the property Of
our citizens. At all events, tbs people would
do well to be on their guard and look well
to their doors and windows. And the officers
ofthe two cities cannot exercise too much vigil
ience.
