ANOTHER FIGHT IN AN AUcTI0N-HOCsR, &C.
Yesterday morning, Isaac Cohen and Ezekiel
Myers, lsraelites, made their appearance be-
fore Mayor Saunders to answer the charge of
fighting in Messrs. Digges Apperson's auc-
tion-hOuse.
From the evidence, it seems that a compe-
tition arose between the parties about who
should have lot of shoes that were put up
for sale. Cohen led off and Myers followed,
whereupon Cohen got angry and threatened
ming up the goods. This admOnition increased
Myers's estimate of the value of the articles,
and up went another bid but hardly had he
"dOwn went his building" which demonstra-
tion was considered by the book keeper as a
"knock down and gOner,'' and was so recorded
on the ledger Forthwith Myers procured a
warrant and had Cohen arrested, in order that
the whole matter might be referred to the ar
bitrament of his Honor. Cohen denied the
assault upon Myers, and accounted for his
measuring his length upon the floor of the
auction house by saying that he lnerely put
his hands upon Myers's head, and down he
"drapped.'
The Mayor gave patient hearing of the
case, and after revolving the evidence in his
mind, concluded to hold Cohen to bail for his
good behavior for twelve months in the sum
of two hundred dollars, which was readily
given, and the party discharged.
The case of Peter Stagg, charged with hav-
ing been drunk and disOrderly, was called, and
the accused not being present, it was con-
tinued until Saturday, with the understand

be forfeited.
At this point the Mayor stated that there
were no more cases, and adjourned his Court.
