Could not Punish her.
--
John T. Hicks, who keeps a shoe store on Cary street, again had
Mrs. Elizabeth Jeter before the
Mayor on the charge of being a person of evil fame and reputation, and for fusing violent and obscene language towards him.
Hicks's witnesses failed to substantiate the charge, while the
Mayor's police, who had been sent to ascertain the character of
Mrs. Jeter's house, testified to her proper department and satisfied His Honor that she was not a nuisance to the neighbors.
Her discharge was received with great satisfaction, and
Mrs. J., who had an interesting babe in her arms, assured the
Mayor that in future she would avoid such unpleasant predicaments as she had just been released from.
