were examined as to what they saw on the premises, and their statements mainly coincided with that of the previous witness. There was no game going on in the house, except that a party were playing whist on a round table in the lower room. Mr. Johnson conducted a close cross examination, which involved a pretty full description of a faro table, and the Mayor, to satisfy the counsel on this point, dispatched Officer Morris to the station-house to bring up all the apparatus taken from Mr. Allen's house. The counsel, however, thought it unnecessary to delay the case at this stage of the proceedings, and the Mayor accordingly remanded Mr. Allen to be indicted for misdemeanor, admitting him to bail in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at the Hustings Court on the second Monday in February. The gambling apparatus, he remarked, would be burnt; but we are unable to state whether the municipal authorities will have a Christmas bonfire out of it, or delay the ceremony to a later period.
