DrSG-THrgsDAY MoRNING.-Mayor Mayo
having returned to the city, occupied his
seat in court yesterday.
John Tyler was arraigned on the charge
"i having in his possession i've or SIX nun
dred pop bottles belonging to Crowley
Coleman. The case being one in which,
the right Of buying and retaining pop
bottles with the names Of the manufac-
turers Of the pop moulded upon them was
involved, the Mayor referred the parties to
the civil courts.
Mary Sullivan was charged with stealing
clothing from Mr.. Owens. The case was
continued until to-day.
George Myers, captain Of the steamer
Bonita, was charged with assaulting and
beating Frank Jones, negro. The case
was dismissed, the offence charged having
been committed about sixty miles below
the city, and beyond the jurisdiction OF
the court.
Cncinattus Jackson, for sleeping on the
market benches in the Second Market, was
committed in default Of fine.
Susan Stevens and Sally Wyatt, ne
crosses, charged with keeping disordcrly
house and disturbing the peace and quiet
Of the ncighborhood. Sally Wyatt was
discharged, as the evidence showed that
she had moved from the house in cOnse-
uuence Of its bad character. The Mayor
here stated that, in answer to the accusa-
tionS to the effect that he had made a dis
tinction between white and black persons
in admitting them to the courtroom, he
would state that his orders had always
been that no one having no business in the
Mayors Court should be admitted, and
that he had prohibited any distinction OF
color in this order.
He had also been accused of interfering
with colored persons in their lawful plea
sures. He had never yet intcriered or
countcnanced on the part of the police
any interference with anybody, black or
white, in legal pursuit OF pleasure; but
in instances like the one at that time be-
fore him, where the parties-somc half
nude and others entirely nakcd-werc
guilty, publicly, of all sorts of indecencics,
and the most obscene language, he in
tended To punish the partic, engaged. He
Was glad that in his absence Recorder Reg
nault had broken up 4 brothcl which was a
resort Tor all sorts OF vagabondS, thieves,
and strect-walkcrs. He regretted very
much that the Recorder should have had
such Il disagrccable duty to perform in his
absence. He was not only happy, how
ever, that the Recorder had taken the step,
hut he had determined 10 follow him out
in the action he had taken. With this in
tcntion he had issued Il warrant imme.
diatcly upon his return to the city for the
breaking up Of another such brothcl. He
expected thar the inmates would DC
brought before him to-day. He would
therefore continue the case before him.
Eliza Mccarthy was sent To jail in de-
fault Ci line and surety for Keeping q
house ot ilI.iamc in Lumpkin's alley.
Charles Fleming vas arraigncd for being
drunk and lying in Hills barber shop.

which he would never forget. Captain
Jenkins said that he had been released
from the station-houSc early in the morn
ing upon that, same promise, but that b"
vas arrested in short time after his re-
/ lease. Here Fleming intcrpo>ed: Yes,
your Honor, bur wasn't sober when there,
and I am now. Iou just try me once
more and see il get arrested again. Just
try me now. ! dare you to try me, and
iii bet vou that will be away from here
