No case.

--Yesterday morning, just before the starting of the Central train, a parcel of soldiers got hold of a small bucket of lard belonging to a citizen named Dickinson J. Peed and eat it upon their bread. When Peed, who had been to the ticket office, returned to look for his lard, he found the bucket empty, and a battery soldier named McNully standing closer to it than any one else, and had him arrested for the theft. The case was brought before the Major; but Peed did not appear. McNully said he eat none of the lard. He was discharged.
