MAYORS CoURT, January 18.-Henry Smith, q
gay and festive young man of dark complexion
who had been participating in the mazy dance
at splendid ball in Elliott street, and there salu-
ting Sarah Brown, dusky maiden, by 2 lick on
the head with q club, while she was tripping the
very fantastic heel, was fined S. for his ungaliant
conduct.
An individual who had, sans ceTemonie, walked
into a boarding house, and gone up stairs to bed
with all the gravity of on old lodger, but who had
been uncovered and brought out by ths aid OF the
police, was discharged, as it was supposed an
overdose of whiskey had made him get 80 high.
A five dollar bill, which had been left to answer
for another Bill who had been on a bust, was ex-
amined and found to BIO so good tina. it was re-
tained and put into the service of the city.
One or two other cases, which arc to be examin~
ed into, concluded the business of the day.
STREET BEGaARs--We hayo heard, from moro
than one source, that our citizens are being COIL
siderably annoyed, at the pro cnt time, by men
and women knocking at their doors and ringing
their bells, gcncraLy at meal times, ard when the
summons is answered by servant, q soiled writ
ten paper or greasy book is sent in from some cne
begging for money. These appeals arc generally
accompanied by certificates, signed with imasi-z
nary names, gIving doleful account of the suffer-
ngs and wants of the petitioner; but as this is an
old dodge which, we hope, the people know TOO
WE'LL wo don't think the presentation OF such doc
umonts benefits them much. We are afraid, how
ever, that the mistresscs of houses suffer most
from these interruptions while engaged in domes-
tic afars, and We would hint to tho police to keep
an eye on these vagrants, and to prevent them as
much as possible from disturbing families. While
we know that want does exist in the community
and that a great many persons, as OF yore, have
hearts filed with charity, still the large means
that number once possessed, thoy have no long
er and the small amounts they are now able to
give are properly bestowed upon those of our own
people, whose poverty they are well acquainted
with. It will be long lime before the inhabitants
Of any southern city viii be able to supply visiting
beggars either with capital travelling expenses,
and therefore we would advise all such to compi-
ment some other portion Of the country with their
presence.
