Wm. Langford, Joe Childress, and Walter Beck, youths, the oldest of whom was not more than ten or eleven years of age, were charged with stealing from Dan Hunt a lot of window-glass. The testimony elicited in this case fully established the guilt of the accused; but the Mayor discharged them upon the ground of their extreme youth, recommending them to their parents for proper punishment for the offence which they had committed. His Honor remanded for examination before the Hustings Court a negro fellow named Wilson, the property of Joseph Angle, charged with conniving at the escape of a negro boy belonging to James Lyons, and also with being concerned in several robberies which have been recently committed upon his premises.

The influence of Grogshops upon the Morals of the City. --In Judge Lyons's Court on yesterday the Grand Jury submitted a report that, in their investigation of the causes which lead to the crimes submitted to them for action, they have been irresistibly led to the conclusion that the vast increase of crime and demoralization in the city is mainly to be attributed to the numberless licensed and unlicensed houses with which Richmond is now infested; that such places, whether of a respectable sort or not, are a curse, and tend greatly to the injury of soldiers and others. They suggest that this report be submitted to the Governor and to the Mayor for such action as may be deemed expedient and proper to abate the evil.
