Petty larceny.
--A female darkey with the baptismal prefix of Charlotte, was punished by order of the Recorder yesterday, for unlawfully possessing herself of an overcoat worth $5, the property of Preston, slave of Jacob Woodson.
Her design in taking the overcoat did not appear, but her doing so was in consequence of the bad practice which has come in vogue of allowing negroes to go at large and hire themselves out — which she had been in the habit of doing.
