The Daily Dispatch: January 30, 1865., [Electronic resource], Religious duties of masters to slaves. (search)
, slave of William H. Jones, charged with stealing a parcel of meat, was discharged, there being no evidence to convict him of the offence. Willis, slave of James Taylor, was committed for going at large. Porter, alias Charles, slave of Benjamin Green, charged with stealing a pair of shoes from a negro girl in the employ of Mrs. McCarthy, was ordered to be whipped. A fine of fifty dollars was imposed upon H. Bruggomat for permitting his servant, Mary, to go at large. Samuel Schuyler was fined twenty dollars upon a similar charge. Peter Lawson was summoned to show cause why he should not be fined for selling light weight at his stall in the Second Market. On Saturday morning, a gentleman, named Smith, asked for a pound and a half of meat at this stall, for which he paid nine dollars. When the meat was handed to him, Smith thought it looked quite small for the amount, and called attention to the matter, whereupon another small piece was thrown into his basket.
