--Thomas Hursch, a maker in the old academy building, on Cary street, appeared before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of receiving from a negro a stolen watch, knowing the same to have been stolen. When approached by Lieut. Bapains on the subject, Hurch confessed that he had bought a watch of a negro, and sold it to another one. He, however, procured the watch and returned it to the officer. The Mayor read the law against dealing with slaves, and showed that the punishment was a fine of four times the value of the article purchased, to go to the master of the slave, and $20 to go to the Commonwealth. Believing that the succeed had no felonious intent in buying the watch, the Mayor discharged him after making him hand over $20.
