Mayor's Court.

John F. Farrer, and Ann, his slave, were charged with living together on terms too intimate to be tolerated by the laws of decency and good order; but, in the absence of any strong proof against them, they were discharged.

Henry, slave of James Bagby, was ordered to receive a whipping for stealing a carpet bag, containing wearing apparel, the property of Roy Jones.

Elizabeth Touget, a free woman, was charged with threatening to assault and beat Branch Jackson, a slave. The case was plainly proven, and the accused committed to jail in default of security for her good behavior.

Branch Jackson, a slave, appeared to answer the charge of stealing a lot of clothing from Mary A. Brown. No proof of his guilt was adduced, and the Mayor discharged him.

Fines of twenty dollars each were entered against George W. Bates, John Miller, (two cases,) and William H. Eggleston, for keeping their drinking-houses open after 10 o'clock at night.

A case was booked against Virginia Howard, a white woman, charged with annoying and disturbing the peace of Joseph M. Dominico. By consent of the complainant, however, the prosecution was dismissed.
