Police Court.

--Recorder Caskie continues to preside at this court, in the absence of the regular functionary. On yesterday C. R Bricken, J. Steaker, and F. Thomas were fined ten dollars for permitting their boys to cut the elm trees in front, of the residence of P Johnston. Frederick Miller, charged with stealing a horse from J. B. Davis, was sent on to the Hustings Court. The evidence in the case was in favor of the prisoner, but it was essential that the circumstances should be submitted to a jury. John Campbell, charged with throwing the furniture out of Mrs. Emma Valentine's house because she wouldn't pay her rent, could bring no evidence to rebuilt of justify his course. He was then questioned by the Recorder as to his nationality, when he replied that although he had been living here for some time, and had voted here, he was neither a European subject nor a Confederate States citizens but a sworn citizen of the United States. The Recorder ordered him to be sent to the Provost Marshal. Several petty cases, of no mentionable interest, were disposed of with correlative dispatch.
