Judge Ball this morning VITA commit
ting an assault and battery ON William
4. Naudine, colored on March 2Tth.

llcitor Curtis, and the defendant by

fair took place during the row at the
tax receivers office. No. 236 Market
street. Mitchell was appolnte1 by the
tax collector to guard tho door.
At O'Clock he opened the door with
the evident intention OF putting out
the men, who, on account of the col
lector's dilatory manner ofdolng busi-
ness, had been unable to pay their
tax. Some words ensued between him
and Naudine, when he struck the lat
ter in the face. and some ono said "kill
the d nigger."
As 1t was shown that Mitchell was
acting as an official at the time, the
caSe was dismissed.
