JUSTICE JOHNS COURT.
hoyster's Case Continued-A Prisoner
Makes His Escape.

Makes His Escape.
The case OF Joseph Register. . colored
citizen Of Jackson ward, who cut his
wife's throat some time since. came be-
fore the tribunal yesterday morning.
Royster was represented by Mr.. II. NJ.
Smith. Jr.. and Giles Jackson. while Cap
tain Guigon appeared for the Common
wealth. DR.. Jefferson. a colored physi-
clan. who has teen attending the In
jured woman. was put on the stand. and
testified that 1t would be dangerous 10
bring her TO court for week or ten
days yet. In view Of this fact. the case was
continued till August 22d. No motion for
bail was made. as the woman is not out
OF danger.
a. VI. Brownell. charged with keeping
his bar open and selling whisky on Sun
day. August 9Th. was fined IS, and recog-
nized 70 appear before the grand jury.
James Thornton assaulted and beat
Emma Toney. and was fined $40 and costs
therefor. He also stole a bag OF flour
from John T. Anderson, which indiscre-
ton will give the grand jury a chance at
him.
Margaret Jones was fined s110 for beat
Ing Lucy Lipscomb, and Lucy Lipscomb
gave out the same amount for saunter-
ing about the premises Of Margaret
Jones.
Alice Burnett was before the court
charged with stealing a lot OF groceries,
but the evidence showed that the gro
ceries had been left at her house by mis-
take. and remained there for more than
week. She was also advised by Mr..
overly 10 use them. and did so. There
was no felonious intent. and she was dis
missed.
William Richardson and Alexander Pat
terson, two colored men. were sent TO
the grand jury for stealing lot OF lead
pipe from the residence OF j. l.. Levy.
Thomas Carter was before the court
charged with stealing one gold ring from
Sheard Co.
He was sent on TO the grand jury. or
rather that was the intention OF the
court; but Thomas. though Of a mid
night cast of countenance. has an intel
lect altogether different from the outside
gloom. He made up his mind that the
breezes OF heaven and the song OF the
ntef nelor vendor were more 10 be de-
sired than the interior OF a prison cell, so
while the Justice and Captain Guigon
were discussing the merit Of cane own
ed by the latter. he strolled out between
them with the graceful and insOuciant
manner OF man sans peur ct sans re-
proche," and mngling with the dusky
crowd I'm the arena, was soon lost
to sight, though still 20 memory dear
No notice was taken OF his departure un-
I'll Mr.. Gibbons began TO separate the
sheep from the goats In vain he called
the name OF Thomas I'm duicet tones IN
vain he got on his knees and looked I'M
der the stove and probed in the saw
dust in the corner. Thomas had van
l-b aI frf no ha
and no man knoweth his whereabouts.
This calamity broke up the court, and
the Justice and the banker went Off 10
drown their sorrow in Hires Root Beer.
