JUSTICES CoURT.-The negroes arrested

| and whose case was continued till yester
| day before Justice Cassetty, were, after ex
animation, discharged, the prosecution
paying the costs.
The negro viii HaIling, whose case wa
continued till yesterday before Justice Ev
erett, for COW stealing, was brought be
fore his Honor, first, on a charge of steal
ing a COW q month or more ago and sellini
her TO O stockyard company, and second
for stealing COW few days ago, and dis
posing of her in a like manner, whicl
COW being yet in the yard. Being re
quired to give bond for his appearance a
the Criminal Court, some of his friend
sent for a neighbor of his to go his bail
white man-On the first charge. The maj
came to the Court and the papers wer
being made ont for him as the negro
bondsman, when ho said to the negro tina
he himself bad missed one of his COWS 70
a few days back, but supposed sh
had strayed away; Che knew nothin
about the second charge against the negr
at this time; y he went on and describes
partially the COW that be had lost
when he was informed by som
one present that Just such COW was no.
in the stockyard, which this same negr
was at present under arrest for stealing
being charge No. 2 against him. At thi
the bondsman made haste TO the yard, an
sure enough, it was his own missing COW
It is needless to add that he stopped tn
manufacture of that bond as quickly a
he could run back to the court and CAV
the rascally negro good warm blessin
besides. He took his COW out of tn
yard by leave of the court, and returne
home, while Harling was remanded to jail
in default of bail, for his appearance be
fore the Criminal Court on the first charge
and for his appearance before Judge E'
erett on Saturday next for further exam
nation on the second. This is about 9
good one on a bondsman as we eve
heard of.
