WORK OF THE COURTS.
A Busy Day IN the Criminal Court-Su-
perior Court a Assignments.


Among the cases tried in the City
Court yesterday was that of the State
against Capt. VIM. Henderson, Of the
schooner Julia 5. Bailey, who was ar
rested by the police on Tuesday night at
the instance Of a woman named Efde Har-
rington. who charged him with having
stolen her watch. The matter was turned
over bv the Mayor sCourt to the CityCourt.
The evidence was insufficient to estab-
fish ANYTHING like guilt and the Captain
was quickly acquitted. There was not
the slightest proof that ne ever intended
To steal the watch and the whole affair
was claimed to be a tKumDed up charge
with malicious intent.
Three negro lads, the youngest being
less than 10 years old, were tried on the
charge of simple larceny. The testimony
showed that one OF them, Richard Jones,
last Saturday invited some other negroes
10 join him IN bagging a rOost of
chickens, an account of which
day. Some of the boys declined
and went their way. About II O'Clock at
night a negro named William Reilly was
seen running from a hen house in the
southwestern portion of the city, followed
by Jones. Both of the lads, il appears,
when attempting to rob the rOOst, were
startled by the noise of a hen. which also
aroused the owners of the fowl In time
for the latter to identity the thieves.
1t was charged that the younger
boy POllins was also one of the party, bet
the fact that he was aware that any steal
ing was to be done was not clearly
nrOven. The court sentenced Jones and
Reilly to two months Imprisonment with
labor Pollins was ordered back to jail
to remain until called for by his mother,
who should whip him and then take him
hDme.
The negro George Baker, who was ar
rested on Tuesday, charged with having
