and receiving ladies' green silk dress pattern, valued at $2,500, the property of James E. Wadsworth, knowing it to have been stolen.
The wife of the accused stated that Jane Seal, alias Bosseau, brought the silk to her house, and that she advanced her two hundred dollars on it. Her statement was corroborated by a Mrs. Wynnott.
The Mayor therefore discharged Crew, but recognized him to appear at the next term of the Hustings Court as a witness against Jane Bosseau.
Jane Bosseau, (not Bossieux, as reported yesterday,) alias Jane Seal, was charged with stealing one piece of brilliant, valued at $1,000; one silk dress pattern, valued at $2,500; and several pairs of ladies' stockings, the property of James E. Wadsworth.
[The articles were stolen some two-months since, and, at the time, were believed to have been stolen by Mr. Wadsworth's servants.] The accused claimed the articles recovered as her property, she alleging that she obtained them from a white person.
Failing to accoun
A Rascally recruit.
--In our notice, a few days since, of the progress of enlistment among the negro troops, we mentioned the fact that a free negro had volunteered under Lieutenant Bossieux, alleging, at the time he did so, that he had been robbed by the Yankees of a canal boat, which he had earned by hard labor, and was determined to battle for the cause of the South till every one of the invaders was driven from the soil of the State.
Since that time, the rascal has deserted his colors, taking with him a large lot of clothing, shoes, &c., which did not belong to him.
