Roosr RoBBNG.-The only case brought
before the Police Court on Saturday was that
of John Smith, alias Sullivan, who was ar
rested for stealing chickens from the premises
of Daniel Cavanaugh, On I street. between

was found decidedly guilty, not only OF rob-
hing the hep-roost but also of stealing pair
of pants which were hanging upon line at
convenient and tempting proximity to the
abode of ths biooded poultry. The defendant
should have had the mercy OF the Court upon
the question of the pants, for the prisoner
claims that while he may have been impru-
dent in taking the chickens. he did not take
the pants. but that they crawled into the bag
of their own accord while he was putting in
the chickens The Judge, however, either
failed to take this explanation iuto considers

want of funds he was sent to the County Jail
aud chain-gang for 100 days, without benefit
of clergy.
