Court Documents.
Alderman Conan occupied the bench in the
Tombs Police Court yesterday and dispensed the
unadulterated article of justice in his usual eXpe-
ditious manner The first case OF any note which
presented itself to the judicial functionary was
that OF william O'Mally, of Ill Hudson street,
against John Mccarthy, Of Williamsburg, whom he
charged with having stolen nine shawls from in
front OF his (O'Mally's store during the morning.
1t seems that lynX-eyed officer OF the Fifth pre-
cinct happened that way just as Mccarthy was
helping himself to the property of his neigh
Dor, and almost before the rascal was
aware of it he was being led into captivity. The
Alderman asked John why he made himself so free
with other peoples goods, and without q moments
hesitation John replied that as the weather was
getting rather cool he thought perhaps the shawls
would soon come in good. Doubtless they will
come In good long before you come our-of Sing

Partagas and two OF Caabras from him, paying the
money down, OF course. Herman thought Edward
was truthful and incapable Of deception, so he

Just before the adjournment Of the Court gang
OF some eighteen twenty First ward rougis
marched into the examination room and spread
themselves about in the most promIscuous manner
possible 1t soon transpred that the occasion of
the gathering was the examination of the shooting
scrape between Mat. O'TOO ana Mike Burns, which

and which resulted in Burns being shot in the right

THE WORST YET.
During the fore part Of last month some mean
scamp swinded Christina Bramlich, OF 53 Bayard
street. out of 81 400 and then made good his escape
TO parts unknown. Yesterday morning Berthald
Rosenberg, blear-eyed Jew, called at Mrs. Bram-
ich's house and told her he had been sent from
Baltimore for the purpose of getting her TO go to
that city as witness against the party who had so
heartlessly swindled her, and who was now in
custody there. He must have $27 he said, for the
expense lie had incurred in her behalf and as an
evidence that he proper individual and fully
authorized to collect the amount he handed her his
naturalization papers, stating that they were docu-
ments issued by the Court In Baltimore to compel
her attendance. The woman could not read Eng
lish but she thought there was some humbuggery
about the mans story, notwithstanding the lorml-
dab1e document he had handed her. Calling one
soon effected Rosenberg's arrest. Messrs. Howe
and HHmmel appeared as counsel for HIM at the
animation, which resulted in his being committed
