RRooRDER's CoURT.-Business in the Re-
corder's Court is again dull-indeed, was
utterly I,stagnant yesterday, Not a single
ca le to be adjudicated. Z We hail this as a
good omen for the beginning of the New
Year, and though it may lessen the ihter7
est of our police reports, w'estill hope such
q state of morals may continue. al ItlsI3o
,gBEFoRE JUSTICE STINsoN.-Charles Aus
tin, who sometime ago was tried and ae!
Quilted ,on q charge of stealing carpenter
toorstfrom VIM Hunnelil IL Son.. and who
would no doubt have been convicted had
not funnel been prejudiceai in his favor,
was yesterday ION ancharge of
having stolen q shovel from T., III. Christ.
AS he was not ready for trial, his examine
ton was postponed until this morning.
Franz Seigel was arraigned for selling
whisky, without a licenser-two cases. He
was required to paw fine of IS and 81 so
costs in each case We understand that
there are two or three other cases of like
character pending against him, upon
which he will have a hearing to day. q q
The case OF seduction and bastardy
W HIGH we mentioned the other day .culmi-
mated yesterday in the defendants being
recognized i n the sum of $500 to answer at
the next term OF the Circuit Court. The
edefendant had not given the required bail
when we left the 'Squire'si office, and a
significant document which we saw lying
on the Justices table inclined us TO the
opinion that his liberties were likely to be
circumscribed. i The misdemeanor for
which he was arrested, lit appears, was
committed in Princeton some three years
ago. He wasa nxious to marry the woman
but she rejected hisioveftures. az ~ -
BEFORE JUsTTCH WALKER.AAlfred STAN
ley was accused before Justice Walker by
Elizabeth Schimmett, with an attempt to
set FIRE to her husbands house, Familiarity
known as Peltsier Gardens. 1t appears
that a. number of the frail sisterhood make
their home at that somewhat noted locali-
ty, and that an unusual number of young
men, some of them mere lads, were lodg-
ing there on the night the crime was said
to have been committed. AS the charge
runs, Stanley accompanied by a compan-
ion who is known by the somewhat dubi-
GUS title of g Boots,' took lamp wick
saturated with coal OIL cut it in pieces,
and piling them ON table set fire to the
heap. The fire was discovered-b by =" YES
