Whipping another man's Negro. --Richard H. Barnes appeared before the Mayor yesterday to answer a charge of making an assault on a negro named Jacob, slave of Jos. Adams. The affair originated in a controversy about some shinplasters purporting to have been issued by the People's Saving Bank, which the negro offered in pay for a bag of shot. Contradictory testimony was introduced, and the Mayor thought proper to continue the case with a view to procure the attendance of other witnesses. Shinplasters may be said to be the root of all evil.
