MAYORS CoURT.-A heavy docket was pre-
sented yesterday morning and the session was
protracted to near II o'clock. Fourteen hard
ware merchants we're brought up for selling
powder without license, but on pleading igno-
rance of the law, the fine (s1OO) was RENTED,
and they we're allowed to renew their licenses.
Two offenders who sold powder in manner
contrary to the city ordinances, were fined $40
each, and one, who not only disobeyed the law
in this respect, but had on hand larger guam
tity than was allowed, was fined s50
Two cases of enterprising draymen who had
painted their own tin licenses were next coll
sidered; one, an old negro, confessed that hs
had been his own artist, but thought it was all
right, though not as pretty as those got
from the clerk He was surprised when charg-
ed $40 for his painting. He inquired if he
could pay by instalments. The other badge,
No. 6s-52O, was beautifully executed and well
calculated to deceive the unwary. Private Ser
eeant, however, detected the fraud, and the
drayman was fined $40 for his trick.
Three cases of men putting the enemy in
their mouths to steal away their brains were
tried. Two of these we're old soaks, and $40
was thought the best antidote to their disease.
The third had drawn it mild, and was apparent
ly neophyte in the bottle game; IS fine was
recorded as reminder that he must sin no
more.
Two Ethiopian amazons having heard that
''the colored troops fought nobly," endeavored
raj passes, when they were observed by a
policeman, who surrounded the pair and caus-
ed them to throw up the sponge. His Honor
gave them ten days in the workhouse, where
they could crack stones for amusement.
A yender of the fnny tribe undertook to sell
his stock without paying for the license. The
police we're too wide awake for that trick, and
tie merchant was sentenced to forfeit his fish,
which was sent to.t the Orphan house.
A few other trivial offences were tried. A
black horse was fined S. for taking riderless
stroll through the streets, and the court ad-
journed.
