THE GARRoTING CASE mentioned in our
columns day or two ago came up for q
hearing yesterday. Andrew Jackson, a
darkey with a very bad reputation, was
positively identified as the party who choked
Henry Jordan, of Hanover, ON Friday
night. His accomplices have not been
arrested, but one of his, witnesses-Ben
Allen, mulatto-was held by the Justice
as accessory to the felony. Jackson was
sent on to Judge Burnham's court, and
committed in default Of $500 bail.
Henry Jordan, the man robbed, is on
honest old negro, and told q straight story.
In future, ne will doubtless be more careful
about yielding to the soft enticements OF
city girls whom he meets in the market
house. He has not recovered his sixteen
dollars.

The SCREAMERsvILLE DISTURBANCE
The party composed of Charles Dougherty
John Rose, Charles Welch, and Charles
Elmore, charged with being drunk and dis
orderly, and also on warrant with brick
batting the house Of Margaret Lee, a colored
woman, living in Screamersville, made their
appearance before Alderman PEBBLES yes
terday morning.
The witnesses for the Commonwealth and
defence were all great takers, and contra
dicted each other in the most positive man
ner.
Officer Perrin testified that he met the
accused on the street singing at the top OF
their voices, and otherwise disorderly. He
arrested them and conducted them to the
police station, where an alteration occurred
between him and Dougherty, in which the
officer received heavy blow on the fore
head. -......
Margaret Lee (negress), Emma Blunt,
and another woman, deposed that the boys
had come to Margarets house at a late hour
of the night, stoned it, abused her, broke
the windows, tried to remove the under
pinning, and kicked up the mischief gene,
rally. ea--..e
For the defence an army of witnesses ap.
peared, most of whom testified that the boys
accused of creating the disturbance were in
a different place at the time the offence was
alleged to have been committed, and that
they were only singing in friendly spirit
to accommodate Miss Davidson. who lives
in the neighborhood. One witness said they
were not drunk, only little drinky."
After full and patient hearing of the
evidence, Justice PEBBLES fined the accused
SIS each, and required them to give Sl5C
security for their good behavior.
