hundreds of poor people who thronged the market, but before they could open negotiations two hucksters pitched in and gobbled up the whole quantity, one taking forty dozen, and another, named Charles W. Obitts, the remaining twenty five dozen. Mr. Tyler, Clerk of the Market, being on the alert, saw Obitts's transaction, and seized his eggs. Obitts at first said he bought the eggs for a friend, but afterwards that he bought them to boil and sell to the soldiers at his shop, near the Market-Hou alert, saw Obitts's transaction, and seized his eggs. Obitts at first said he bought the eggs for a friend, but afterwards that he bought them to boil and sell to the soldiers at his shop, near the Market-House. Mr. Tyler brought the case before the Mayor, but Obitts not appearing, the case was continued till this morning.--Fine and confiscation of his eggs are not punishments enough for a man who in times like the present seeks to enrich himself through the cruel necessities of our people.
