Stealing jewelry. --Mathew, slave of the estate of A. Thomas, dec'd, and Claiborne, owned by Judy Smith, were brought before the Recorder on Saturday, and ordered to be punished for breaking the window of Mr. Edward Kersey's store and his show-glass, and taking a box of jewelry therefrom. The affair happened about 5 o'clock, and the idea must have entered their heads as they were proceeding to work. The young man who had charge of the store heard the noise, and, obtaining a pistol, opened the door and discharged it at the thieves, who had become alarmed and were retreating. They were caught afterwards by the watch. The jewelry stolen by them was contained in a small box, the contents being worth about $95.
