Mayor's Court, April 27th.

--The case of Jesse White, charged with causing the death of John J. Andrews, by inflicting a gun shot wound in the left forearm of said Andrews, was called up Mr. Wm. W. Crumy appearing as counsal for the accused.--Mr. Crump announced that to save trouble his client would wave an examination before the Mayer and ask that the case be sent directly to the Hustings Court. This was done. The tribunal in question will hold its session on the 2d Monday in May evening. No application was made for ball, the wounded man having died and the defendant being now charged with murder.

Patrick Karoney, charged with shooting off a loaded pistol near the junction of 11th and Cary sts, and attempting to shoot watchman Carter, was committed to await an indictment by the Husting Court Grand Jury.
