BEFORE RECORDER dOCGHTON.-0lfS.
Mahoney, proper taxpayer of the parish
of Orleans, strange to say, was arralSned
at the bar of justice for actually stealing
three live geese. As the oIfense is not a
hanging one, she was paroled to appear
next month Mrs. Miles, Liberty street is
the prosecutriX.
Lendall Fredericks, accused of having,
by fraudulent means, obtained $i4S, was
dismissed.
Thomas Reed charged with shooting with
same for attempting to choke his child to
death. 1t was only one of his widest jokes.
Thomas McElroy, the asthmatic cardriver
who accidently rushed his vehicle over an
orphan, forty-eight years old, was permitted
to give bonds in one hundred dollars, to
appear when called for
William Brown goes down to a jury for
trial, as he is strongly suspected of having
stolen sixteen dollars and a bounty paper
from the coat pocket of John Banabel, in
shop, corner of Perdido and Baronne streets.
Joshua Scott keeps him company, as an ac-
cessory before, after and during the dis
agreeable fact.
On the night of the nineteent instant, Mrs.
NJ. Lacey, in charge OF Mr.. Lockes house,
No 36S Canal street. heard burglar on the
premises. Calling officer A. +. Smith. they
arrested George Joseph White, secreted in
the yard. White goes down for trial on
charge of felonious entering.
Peter Eleste a belligerent. complained of
by J. Thomas Schusenburg goes tie same
route.
Maggie White unaccountably smeared
her fingers with mucilage. so that when. by
accident, she touched Martha Smiths watch
and brcastpin, they stuck fast and have not
been seen since. although Maggie volun-
teered to return the trinkets if they would
not prosecute her. Accused must face a
jury.
Mrs. Harlan and her daughter Molly, ar
rested on Rampant street, as lewd and
abandoned women, without shelter or
home, and consequently a nuisance to this
godly community, were sent to prison in de
fault. Without shelter or home." There
should be enacted law by which such people
might be hung, drawn and quartered with
out trial by jury and without benefit
of clergy. What right have they, these two
sickly, weak women. to occupy space in
this moral city, without money as protectors!
Put them out of reach and sight, for by
chance next Sunday some of those excellent
people who attend divine worship might be
shocked at sight of their rags and poverty.
These two miserables have neither kith nor
kindred, nor greenbacks, nor friends, conse
quently they should be Stunned as lepers,
not questioning whether they are honest or
virtuOus. Make an example of them, that
the old demon Poverty shall hide his head
forever and let Midas till his place.

A FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. - Lendall
Frederieks was before Recorder Houghton
yesterday to answer the charge OF obtain
ing money by false pretences, tn At Is, with
having on the third of September. 1869, ob-
tanned from United States pension agent,
on forged power of attorney, purporting
to come from Mary L. Edwards, widow Of a
deceased private in the SEVENTEEN colored
infantry, $4lS, the amount of pension at
that time due by the government
She stated in her testimony that the
papers were originally made by an agent,
who was now in Washington. That they
were delivered to him by a Major Banks,
and afterward by Banks to one Jones. She
had called on the latter number of times,
receiving no satisfaction whatever.
Recently, she heard the money had been
drawn by Fredericks. but she had never
seen him until the day he was arrested. She
understood that he was employed by Jones.
Dr.. Knapp, clerk in the Pension Office,
stated that on the third of September, 1859,
Fredericks and one Jones called at the pen
sion Office. and presented what purported to
be power of attorney. signed by Mary E
Edwards, pensiOner, authorizing him to
draw all money due her. 1t was regularly
made out on a government blank. before
one Jones, notary public. and the fact Of
Jones having that authority was attested
by the seal of the Secretary of State.
When witness asked why the woman did
not come herself, Jones replied that she was
sick.
Witness made out check on the United
States Assistant Treasurer for S4tS y, to
the order of Fredericks, as the attorney for
Mary E. Edwards, taking his receipt in du
plicate. The original power Of attorney
and receipt was forwarded to Washington.
Another clerk in the pension Office cor
robOrdted the above statement.
M. Fredericks, in his statement, said
that he was a clerk employed by Jones;
that coming into the office on the day in
question, Jones showed him the power OF
attorney, made out in the name of the mar
rator. as was described by the witness. He
said he had purchased the pension from the
woman some time before, and that on the
day previous she had called at his office and
made out the power of attorney. He had
inserted Fredericks name because he
(Jones) would not be able to swear that he
was in no way interested in the money.
The narrator had never seen the woman.
He accompanied his employer, as re-
quested, and received the check After
indors;ng it he handed it to Jones. He
heard Jones say to DR.. Knapp that Mary
Edwards was sick; but never having seen
her. he did not know whether it was true or
not.
1t being stated by both counsels that in
hundreds of instances Jones had used SINH
lar fraud; that he had been arrested in Mis-
sissippi, and was now prisoner in Wash
ington. the case was dismissed.
