--A number of cases were disposed of by the
Mayor yesterday, a summary of which we subjoin:

Bernard A. Sells, charged with disorderly conduct in the streets.
Byrd Evans and
James Hill, white, were examined for ing by force and violence, from Jacob.
Holder, a revolver, worth $50, and $25 in Cs Treasury notes.
The "force and violence" was in the shape of an assault perpetrated he the parties on
Holder's showing a disposition to resist their encroachments.
Both of them were committed for a further examination before the Hustings Court.
Henry Chadwell, of
Hawley's Dregeons, was examined on the charge of stealing a horse from
W. S. Kemper.
The animal was valued at $100, and the proof shewed that it had been taken from
Kemper's lot by the defendant.
Chadwell was committed for an appearance before the H Court.
Maris, slave of
J. M. Carrington; Martha, slave of
Higginson Hancock; and
Pat, slave of
Nosh Walker, were arraigned for keeping a disorderly house, and on conviction, were ordered to be licked therefore.
John C
Chase a young and stout white fellow, was brought up, charged with mistaking
Thomas Barham's nag for his own, and using it accordingly.
He was sent on to the Hustings Court.
Anna, slave of
Isaac Jacobs, was arraigned for stealing $3,000 in
gold and
silver from her master, and
Henry, slave of
Reuben M. West, was charged with receiving $80 of the stolen funds from
Anna, knowing the same to have been stolen from
Jacobs.
The evidence left no doubt but that the respective charges were correct, and the defendants were committed for trial before the Hustings Court.
Pot
Sweeny, falling to give $150 security to let
Mary Collins alone, was sent to jail.
Mary alleged that Pot had beaten her without provocation.
Wm. Padgett, a young white fellow, was arraigned for creating a disturbance, at the house of
Elizabeth Hubbard, on Cary street — It appeared that he had knocked down a man named
Tyson at
Hubbard's, because the latter told one of
Hubbard's boarders he was a trifling fellow and a "blast." Papert desired some of the women to be called as witnesses in his behalf, and accordingly
Elizabeth Hubbard,
Ross Kubler,
Mary Davis,
Ellen Blankinship and
Mary Smith were brought into Court.
Their testimony induced the Mayer to declare that they should be held to bail for keeping and frequenting a disorderly ace but he afterwards let them off on promise of amendment.
Padgett, in reply to inquiries by the
Mayor, said he came from
Washington, D. C., and since his arrival here some months ago had done nothing for a support.
He was required to give $500 to keep the peace, and falling was committed as a person of evil name, fame, etc., without visible means of support.
