Police Court.
--A number of individuals were arraigned for inspection yesterday before the presiding Magistrate at this Court.
Valentine Schriever, a German resident of Screamersville, who, already, judging from his appearance, had advanced considerably into ‘"the vale of years"’ was required to answer for feloniously receiving from.
Winston, slave of
Mr. John Theacker, a
Colt's revolver, valued at $30, stolen by the latter from
Mr. John J. Ray, a member of the
Albemarle Rangers.
It appeared that the negro had been hired by
Adjutant Dimmock as a servant.
and sent to Camp Hogan, and that after remaining a short time he left, taking with him
Mr. Ray's pistol, which he disposed of to
Schriver.
On learning the whereabouts of the pistol from the fugacious darkey, who had been caught while here a search warrant was procured and placed in
officer Quarles's bands, but on his repairing to
Schriver's domicil and announcing his business, the latter densed all knowledge of the negro of shooting iron.
The prisoner's wife, however, saved the officer the trouble of executing the war rant by producing the pistol.
Schriver was sent before the Hustings Court for examination on the charge of receiving stolen property, the colored brother was committed for final trial before the same tribunal.--
Ann Kearns, a colored damsel, of sessing extorter, was brought up for an evil spirit to overcome her good nature and induce her to trespass on
C. C. Timsley.
She was sent to jail for want of a register.--
Richard Kelley was arraigned for allowing himself to get in a passion, in the house of
Cornelius Lannigan, and attack the proprietor.
The latter accompanied him because he had seen fit to use an axe on
Kelley, in the way of adjustment, to convince him of the impropriety of his conduct.
Both parties were required to give $150 security for their good behavior.--A muss having occurred in the stable of
Mr. Thomas Duke, on 17th street, between
Curtis, one of
Mr. D.'s hands, and a stray darkey, named
Dabney, both were caged for breaking the peace.
It appeared that
Curtis had been too much for
Dabney, the latter receiving considerable punishment, owing to the superior science of his antagonist.
The
Head of Police, deeming that superior intelligence should be rewarded, bestowed on
Curtis a token in the shape of twenty-five lashes.--Two cases of alleged assault and battery were heard and dismissed.
In one,
Milly Brown was charged with beating
Martha J. Morris.
In the other,
Margaret Wilson was said to have performed the same operation on
Susan Mann.--
Rudolph Castleburg was fined five dollars for allowing a nuisance to accumulate on a lot owned by him.
