On Saturday last Misses Eliza Sexton and Anna St. Clair were before the Mayor on a similar charge, and facts were then elicited which led to the procurement of a warrant, and the searching of Mr. Lee's house. Officers Crone, Bibb and Adams executed the warrant, and discovered a piece of alpaca, which corresponded in every respect with a piece of goods lost by Mr. Shafer. When officer Adams found the goods, Mrs. Lee picked it up and attempted to conceal it. Against Mr. Lee there waofficer Adams found the goods, Mrs. Lee picked it up and attempted to conceal it. Against Mr. Lee there was not a particle of evidence. He was not at home when the goods were found, and nothing was said to identify him with the affair in any way. For the defence Miss Margaret Lee was called, and testified that she brought the identical goods claimed, from Washington city, in January last. The Mayor discharged Mr. Lee, but held Mrs. Lee to bail in the sum of $1,000 to answer for the offence, at the July term of the Hustings Court.
