Wounding a negro.

--N. B. Dickinson came before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of shooting Sarab, slave to D. McDaniel, on Sunday afternoon last. There being no white witness present at the time of the occurrence, the prisoner's counsel stated that the shooting was accidental — that the woman made a violent assault upon his client — and that; whilst he was attempting to defend himself, the pistol accidentally exploded, the powder burning the woman's hand, and the ball entering her left breast. The Mayor stated that he had just received information that precluded the possibility of his proceeding with the exmination, and he therefore continued the cause till this morning.
