G. Tabb, Presiding.
The Mayors Court was densely crowded this
morning by white and blacks. Major Egbert and
Lieutenant Gansevort, upon instruction of the
Mayor, occupied seats along with the Court.
VIM. Sales and John Hill, colored, were brought
into Court, and general testimony of number of
witnesses examined.
The testimony of Susan Fuller, in regard to the
shooting done by John Wilson, colored, who was
also in Court, differed from her evidence before

did not know whether he shot at him or not,
Lewis Read, colered, in his testimony positively
states that VIM. Sales shot Robert Whitehurst
while he was in charge OF the two horse men.

The FERRY BoATs.--We heard yesterday
that the ferry boats which ply between this
city and Portsmouth. have been restored by
the United States Government to their right
tul owners; and we would now suggest to
the county, that it repair, as soon as possible,
the bridge where the ferry boats were accus-
toned to land passengers for Ferry Point,
masmuch as a noncompliance with this re-
quest would cause much inconvenience to a
great many of our fellow citizens residing
'nere, by compelling them to take the small
loot boats in order to get home.
