pearance, and not being able to provide her
self with a good wardrobe by honest means
she surreptitiously avalled herself OF the ward
robe Of Mary Magee, and helped herself to
shawl. Margaret did not enjoy her stolen
possessions long, as she was arrested and taken
before Alderman Patched, with. all the evi.
denCes OF her guilt about her, it is said, aud

A CASE OF PERJURY.-There will be a
very Interesting case OF perjury on trial, grow
ing ont OF the fraudulent attempts at baliotboy
stuffing, that we're INDUCED in during the last
election. 1t appears that William Cantwell is
charged on the oath of several citizens OF Second
Ward with committing perjury, in swearing to
the qualifications of person who attempted to
vote fraudulently. He had a hearing b. fore
Alderman Tlttermary yesterday morning, and
was held IN $500 for his appearance at Court.
This case is but one OF the many that occur at
almost every election, although it is only no
ana then that the guilty parties ever are caugd.
and brought up for trial.

individual, rejoicing in the name OF Georgc
Bowers, was arrested IN Cherry street, below
