The Courts.
POLICE COURT, Judge Gray.-Yesterday after
recess, Corporation Of Washington VS.. flames
Blake, colored, charged with being drunk and
disorderly. Officer Smith testified to making
the arrest and to the foul and abusive language
used by accused. Blake was in a very lachry-
nose state from a too free use Of benzine, and
shed tears most copiously over his hapless stu
alton, saying that he had just come from
Charleston, 5. G., where he was raised, and
stepped In to get some refreshments, when he
was arrested by the policemen; that the officers
should have had more respect for him, being as
he had been raised in Charleston. The court
was disrespectful enough to fine him 50, or
wOrkhouse ten days.
