TESTING 4 NEW FIRE ENGIHE-J ackson
No 18 having purchased q new third-class
steamer, gave it a public trial at the corner
Of Gravier and Magazine streets. Although
third class in power, she is first class in
finish. After lighting the fire, wheel was
turned in FIVE minutes, and in eighteen sec
onds more water was sent through one hun
dred feet of hose. A few seconds elapsed
and the trial began. Two hundred and fifty
one feet was tic distance, but she can make
q better squirt than that when she gets used
to it. It was made by J. r. Gould & Son,
Newark, New Jersey, and the members are
already in love with her.

was constructed is composed Of Messrs 7.

TIM. A gentleman has been found VINO was

Among the cases before this tribunal yes
terday was charge against Officer
Mathews, third precinct, for robbing pris-

Jacobs was arrested and taken to the third
precinct station, charged with triHing
offense. Mr. Jacobs, without hesitation
stated that Mathews had robbed him Of
about $50, whereupon Turnkey Boyle
searched the officer, and found sum of
money on him, which Jacobs declared to be

And now comes the jackson Pilot with more
than column Of romance, to use mild
term, concerning raised Mississippi State
warrants. Excessive anxiety on the part
Of those weak gentlemen who worked up
the case to get their names into the papers
led them into making extravagant state
nents-statements which, we venture to
say. can never be substantiated by any per
son on tie witness stand. A city journal
was last week led into publishing about the
same romance now produced by the Pilot
There is truly some foundation for the state
ments, but the real facts are quite buried in

A NOVEL CAsE.-Judge Laresche, Of the
Third Justices Court, has established a
novel precedent in the tribunal that dis
penEes justice at No. % Exchange alley. In
contest yesterday between Edmund Mer-
chesseau and Louis Judd, in which the
plaintiff entered a charge Of contempt of
court after serving a writ of sequestration,
the court sentenced three deputy consta-
bles to six hours imprisonment for dere-
LECTION Of duty, and discharged the defend
ant. The practice in our justices courts
has been to give judgment against the de-
PENDANT, and sustain the constables whether
right or wrong.
