Baltimore, yesterday, Judge Morris sentenced
Captain Robert Mills Of the Baltimore sloop
Chicona, to one year imprisonment and ESQ
fine, and Captain Gabriel B. johnson, colored,
Of the pungy Minnie Estelle, to three months
in Jail. The latter craft belongs to the Honga

the investigation into the conduct of the
dredging captains and several more arrests
will be made in few DAYS.
