Hustings Court. --This body commenced its November term yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, and disposed of a large amount of business.--A free negro, called Peter Scott, charged with stealing a watch and chain from Dr. John N. Broocks, was called; but owing to the absence of witnesses, the trial was postponed until the December term. The Grand Jury met at 12 o'clock, and after being sworn, and charged by the Attorney for the Commonwealth, retired to their room, and found true bills against the following persons, indicted for misdemeanors: Wm. F. Simms, for assaulting Alois Reck with a stone; Chas. Ripley, for selling goods without a license, in violation of the revenue laws; Allen Nunnally, for keeping a disorderly and ill-governed house; Jackson Crouch, Allen McGregor and Alfred Wright, for assaulting Justice George E Sadler, while in the discharge of his duty. The Grand Jury then adjourned to meet again on Wednesday next.
