Case dismissed. Timothy Harris and Fanny Robinson, who had taken out cross warrants against one another, each on the charge of assault and battery, appeared to prosecute and defend their respective cases, both of which were continued till this morning, and Harris held to bail for his appearance there and his good behavior in the mean time. Mrs. Teresa H. Kennedy and Mrs. Page Adams came for ward on the charge of abusing and disturbing Mrs. Amelia Blake, who let them and the spectators present know what she thought of them. Mr. K.,
