POLICE REPoRT-Last night was
clear and cold. There were six dodgers
and two prisoners at the station house
The following cases were disposed OF
by Justice Thompson
Mary Eliza Harris, colored, whose
nuptials We're celebrated in the police
court some time ago, had sworn out q
warrant against sable individual
named jeff Porter, whom she charged
with assault, and exhibited scratched
arm, caused. she said, by a kick from
the uugallant masculine. From her
own version of the affair, however, it
seems that while laboring under the
exhilarating influence Of Petersburg
whisky she threw Il goblet at Porter.
Witnesses also testified to this breach
OF the peace, while the accused, admit
ting that he too, had taken two drinks,
charged the prosecntriX with throwing
beer bottle around in dangerous
proximity to bystanders. 1t was a six
ozone and half-a-dozcn-of the-other af-
fair, and they were fincd $3.50 each.
Neither possessing such a sum, both
prosecutriX and defendant were hustled
into durpnce vile.
The next case was that Of Maria
Thornton, colored, a well-known pa
troness of the police court, who figures
Mt times as plaintiff, witness and de-
PENDANT. 1t appeared that she and an
other colored woman last night visited
the house of female acquaintance,
aud while there the Thornton woman
had acted in such an unseemly manner
that it was found necessary to eject her.
When in the street it was charged she
threw brick at the door of the house
and made the air blue with oaths and
imprecations which she launched atthc
woman who had melted her ire. She
was fined $3.50, which amonnt she fail
ed to produce, and scowling and sulk
ing she was compelled to form a trio Of
candidates for the workhouse.
4 colored boy named Morton, about
thirteen years of age. who had stolen
some school books from Mr.. Fairfax,
of the county, was discharged after
having been whipped by his mother.
