On Sunday evening" the Sth inst. ex-Judge
Samuel ID. Morris, while walking through Court
street, near J0ralemon, was accosted by ragged
fellow, who told him piteous tale Of poverty and
family suffering and begged for aims Judge
Morris, who Is noted for his benevolence,
gave the wretched creature just eighty-five
cents (all the change he had), and
the mendicant thankfully left him. Judge
Morris proceeded down Court street. and before
going very far happened to look round, and saw
the poor young man accost another party. Think
ing that the fellow was fraud, he followed him as
far the corner OF Clinton and Fulton streets and
over his eyes and waited on the block below until
nious young man, not recognizing him, "struckn
him again; but the Judge would not have 1t this
time, and accused the fellow of being fraud. The
young man bereit OF the things OF this world re-
sented this with vrtuOus Indignation, and was pro-
ceeding with the rarraton OF another tale OF suf-
icrng at home, when the Judge agreed to accom-
pany him home, and such state OF a1airs existed
to assist him. SO the Judge and the destitute young
down at Hamilton ferry The poor young man ex-
perienced great dificulty In finding his home, and
in fact did not find any, and might have led the
Judge on a further wild goose chase had not the
latter handed him over to an oficer for swindler.
The prisoner, who gave his name as John Bell,
was tried and convicted in the Court of Sessions
Yesterday, and Judge Moore remanded him for SEN
tence. The funny counsellor, Greata, who was az
signed to the Defence endeavored to show that the
complainant was as much liable TO indictment for
giving the eighty-fve cents as the prisoner was
that they must take the law from the Court, and
not from the funny counsellor, Greata.

JEFFERSON MARKET POLICE COURT.

The storm OF Thursday resulted in the appear
ance OF an unusual quantity Of incbriates at the
Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday, but
seemed to have paralyzed the energies OF the
greater criminals. Many OF those brought up
were poor shverng, homeless creatures and
were provided for by the Judge with refuge in
some OF the various institutions provided for such.
Few cOmpainants were present, the storm pre-
venting even the women, who usually frequent the
Court in large numbers, from putting In an ap-
pearance. In the afternoon the monotony was
broken by the appearance Of prisoner charged
with
Larceny at q Fire.
In the morning and during the progress Of the
fire at MailIard's on Broadway, Oicer Ggan, of the
Fifteenth precinct, observed a man of suspicious
appearance in the building, who subsequently gave
his name as William II. Campbell. Upon ques-
toning him his answers were not satisfactory, and
the offcer arrested him. Upon his person were
found five table-knives and bunch Of skeleton
keys. When brought up before the Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court MIR. Charles Bouche made COM

to determine the ownership OF government bonds

by Vermiye Co., as they claim in good faith and
for valuable consideration, but which the Adams
Express Company alleged were stolen from them
while being conveyed in their express from two
banks, one in Tennessee and the other in Indiana,
