Mayor's court.

--Recorder James K. Caskie again attended to the business of this court yesterday, owing to the continued indisposition of the Mayor. We append the following summary:

James R. Moore, charged with buying eggs at the First Market to sell again, was fined fifty dollars and ordered to surrender his purchase for confiscation.

Edward Hudson, a free negro, was charged with having five hundred feet of plank in his possession, knowing it to have been stolen. The accused established his innocence and was discharged.

Twenty dollars fine was imposed upon Elisha Jackson, charged with violating a city ordinance by offering goods, wares and merchandise for sale on the sidewalk on Main street.

Jennie Howard was summoned to show cause why she should not be fined for permitting her servant to go at large; but, for satisfactory reasons, her case was continued.

Complaint was made against Ellen Mitchell for an alleged attempt to break into the house of Elizabeth Jeter with the intention of stealing her furniture and clothing. The case was continued till the 3d instant.
