lodging in the Watch House. This morning
he shouldered his goods, at the lookup, and
went before the mayor, who, in his usual I'm
charitable manner in such cases, put Jacob

pearance at Court.
Wellington Taylor, gentleman Of color, and

to force his way into the: store of G. c. Berry,
at the fire last night, but His Honor the
Mayor who had posted himself there to see who
came: in and who passed out, disputed the
right of Wellington to pass in. His
Honor's remonstrance was disregarded by
Taylor, and the Mayor, thereupon, called on
his "body guard" to give the gentleman accom-
modations for the night. This morning he
gave very fair character and was discharged.
Several others we're arrested and arc under
security for their appearance, for taking
things at the fire.
