Police Court.

--Recorder Caskie again presided at this tribunal on yesterday, and dispatched the business before him with characteristic decision and suavity. James Clancey, who has been penned up for about a month as a witness against a man for murder, but charged with ‘ "complicity,"’ with nothing to sustain the charge, was dismissed.

Daniel, a slave of Mrs. Nancy Ellen, was ordered fifteen lashes for throwing stones in the street.

Mr. Peter Lawson was fined ten dollars for permitting his son to cut and injure the trees in front of the residence of P. Johnston, Esq.

Fred. Miller, a soldier, was arraigned for stealing a horse, and the case continued till this morning. In the same manner the case of John Campbell, charged with trespassing on the property of Mrs. Emma Valentine, was disposed of.
