SINNERS GREAT AND SMALL.
Justice John Receives Them All
One Unreasonable Offender.

Justice. John had any quantity OF
small Sinners TO call on him at the White
Temple yesterday morning. After court,
also, good number Of them went down
to pay their respects to Sergeant Epps,
at his hosiery.
One of the most prominent figures be-
fore his august Honor was Church VIII
sou, who was charged with entering the
stable of Robert Brown and stealing 1870
dozen eggs and three turkeys. Church
went to the grand jury at a double
quick. Justice John said that most any
reasonable man would have been salts
fled to take enough eggs for his break
fast, but he thought ii was outrageous
for a man To steal enough TO feed regi-
ment OF starved Spaniards for Il week.
He thought any man who would do this
ought to go TO d jury and take longer
journey. too.
While Church was doing all this against
the dignity Of Justice John and the Com
monwealth Sandy Logan. another
brother in black, was depriving ID. NJ.
Lea q Co.'S stables of two bales or nay.
He was sent to the grand jury in the
same boat with Church Wilson.
In the case of Eddie Cur (colored,
charged Win DelnS ulSolucIly III 'h'
Second Market during market hours, the
accused was fined $3.50 and costs.
Andrew Crump (colored) was before the
throne for striking Joseph Murphy and
was fined 50 and costs.
Charles Lee Wing, a Celestial laundry
man. who was struck last week with
rocks, during the Deweying Of his es-
enlistment by some boys. was able e
appear in the presence Of Justice John
However, the case was not heard, be-
cause one of the boyish offenders was
not yet apprehended. The hearing viii

head was done up almost as bad as the
