Christmas Thieves and Drunlts DIspo sed
of Yesterday.
Justice Howerton's docket as we'll as
the mayors was large one yesterday,
aud various cases of petit thefts, fight
ing and other oifenses were disposed
Of The case of Ben Burrel, the negro
who stole $40 from the store of
Messrs. Landerkin &c Michael, was
heard, and Burrel was bound over to
appear before the grand jury at the
next term of court the first Monday in
January.
Burrell confessed his guilt and owned
taking money two other times from the
store. When arrested by Officer Eubank
there was only five cents found ON his
person, but he had n lot of goods he had
bought with tho money which were
returned and $3.50 of the stolen money
recovered.
Ed Wade, negro boy, was before the
court charged with stealing watch, but
the negro from whom the watch was
taken was unable to prove his watch,
and Justice Howerton told him he must
charge tho watch to his Christmas
drunk.
Two duskey damsels on Railroad ave-
nue. engaged in a street fight yesterday
evening, and were making the welkin
ring with their war whoops, when n
blue coat appeared on the scene and
spoiled tho fun. On arresting them, a
razor, the favorite weapon of the de-
scendants OF Ham, was found on the
person of one, and she was taken before
the Justice. where she gave bail for APP
pearance Monday evening.
