MAYORS Court, September A venerable spe-
oimen of female gentiity from the Emerald Isle
was brought up this morning for being drunk,
and occupying more of the pavement than is claim
ed by the heaviest taxpayer. As usual, she said
it was the first time such thing had ever occur
red, although her face is as familiar at the Court
as any of the attaches. She having no money, the
Mayor thought it useless to fine her, and he
couldn't eonfine her, for her filth and dirt would
have contaminated the Guard House, SO she was
discharged.
A tayeru-keeper, for selling lqaor without a
liceuse, was fined the moderate amount Of 500.
Two men, who had been detected in selling gun
powder without license, were blown up by his
Honor, and besides fined $40 each.
Several owners of carts and drays, who havs
been driving about the oitv without going to the
expense of providing their vehicles with licenses,
we're made to pony up fine.
pRoyosr COURT, Tuesday Morning, September
4-Washington Grif6ths, colored man, who Ia
bored under a slight suspicion of stealing sl3
from Sarah Ann Pope, was declared not guilty by
the Court, aud consequently came out with
character much whittier than his skin.
Philip Martin, a mulatto youth of tender years
and good countenance, but little addicted to
grabbing, was put at the bar, and on the evidence
of Detective FARRELL, it was proved that he had
taken the money drawer of Mr.. sEMKE, at the
corner of Spring and King streets, which contain
ed some seventy or eighty dollars, and had walked
off with it to parts unknown at that time. Having
confessed that he received thirty dollars of it,
and showing that he was beginning to entertain
conscientious scruples relative to his former
conduct, for this was his third appearance, the
Conrt sentenced him to six months imprisonment,
40 as to give him abundant time for reflection,
and $500 fine.
June Grant, an individual with plenty of color
but not much sense, attempted to improve his
understanding by stealing two pairs OF boots and
two pairs of shoes, and 80 determined was he to
oet into them that he broke open window to
obtain them, and thereby committed "hat bur-
elary." June kindly offered to pay prosecutor for
all damages, but it seems that from want OF
snondulickA he couldn't come to time. His SEN
tence was deferred.
