Mayor's Court. --The Mayor disposed of the following business yesterday: Two soldiers, named John Barnes and Richard McGregory, were sent on to the Hustings Court on the charge of stealing a hogshead of tobacco, valued at $1,000, from David C. Mayo. Witnesses testified that the prisoners, in the early part of Wednesday night, obtained the tobacco from a warehouse on Dock street, and were rolling it down Cary to 19th street, when they were discovered, and, becoming alarmed, desisted for the time being Soon afterwards, however, they again began operations, and continued to roll the hogs head a short distance further, when watch men Page, Drake, and Jude came up and took them in custody. There was no doubt on the minds of the witnesses as to the identity of the prisoners. The tobacco, which had been taken to the lower station-house, was recognized, from peculiar marks, as that belonging to Mayo, and he was authorized by the Mayor to take it away. John F. Fitzgerald
