Receiving stolen cloth. --George, slave to John Clendenin, made his appearance before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of receiving four and a half yards of cloth, worth $400, stolen from John C. Shafer, knowing the same to have been stolen.--George is employed at a restaurant kept by Mr. Watkins, under Metropolitan Hall, and is regarded as a very shrewd negro. Officer John W. Davis having reason to suspect that George had received the stolen cloth, searched the premises, and in aorge, and deposited them in the case. Yesterday the prisoner exhibited a bill signed by H. W. White, for four yards of black cloth, at $50 per yard; but who White is, or whether there is any such man, remains to be seen. The Mayor sent the accused on to answer for felony, and if the Court does not order him to be hung, his master intends to send him further South, by way of relieving the city of his presence. Mr. Shafer lost six yards of goods at the time the above piece was stolen.
