Mayor's Court.
--Yesterday the court-room was thronged with an auditory of interested spectators, and the prisoners dock (as usual on Monday morning,) crowded with delinquents.
The following cases were disposed of:
Edward Langley, of
Baltimore, was remanded for indictment by the
Grand Jury for taking forcible possession of a $5 note belonging to
Wm. L. Fleckenstein, on Sunday.
He failed to give $150 bail, and was sent down.--
Jose Ezcepea was committed in default of $100 bail, failing to give security for threatening to assault
Marie Luzarinl.--
Morris Kenneday was required to give security for assaulting
Mitchell L. Adams, one of the city watch, who had arrested him for disorderly conduct.
Morris did not do it.--Meri-weather
Roach, who has been often before the
Mayor, (and has an ancient look and fish-like smell.) was arraigned for a physical demonstration against
Frederick Unland, on Sunday, and for threatening to kill B.
M. Morris, police officer, who repaired to his assistance.
His name was enrolled as a member of the Chain-Gang for 50 days on failing to give $200 security.--Frances Loving, who unites the two characteristics, fair and frail, in admirable proportions, was sent back to jail, (from which she was discharged on the 16th,) on the charge of getting insensibly drunk and lying down in the street on Saturday.--
Geo. W. Johnson, for the same offence, prefaced with "staggering about," was committed in default of surety, and sent to the Chain-Gang for 60 days.--Bill
Cooper, lately punished for stealing a pair of boots and confined in default of surety, gave
Wm. H. Herbert bail, and was released.
Bill's father wished to enter a claim for jail fees heretofore paid for him. The
Mayor said he could apply in two days, the time he allotted
Cooper to enjoy his last instalment of freedom.--
W. A. Irving, summoned up for his sons throwing iron balls in the street — case continued till to-morrow.--
J. Laughlin, arrested for assaulting
Tim.
Sullivan was acquitted. --Case of
J. Francis for selling the ardent, without a license, was continued. --Case of
John Wrenn, arrested by his son for fighting his wife, was continued. --
Samuel Gaines, free, arrested for getting drunk and lying in the street, thought "Massa Lincoln would give him his rights," whereupon the
Mayor gave him 20 as a first instalment on
Lincoln's behalf —
Jas. Naylor, "no place to stay," and staggering about the streets — sent to jail, and ordered to work in the Chain-Gang for 60 days.--
Kate Thompson, free, was ordered 15 lashes for going about with papers out of date.--
Geo. W. Burke alias
Letcher, arrested for getting drunk and attempting to break down one of the
Columbian Hotel doors, proved to be a dumb man with a decided penchant for "toddy." He had a letter from the
Governor to the authorities of the Fredericksburg railroad, asking them to forward him to
Washington, and he told the
Mayor that he was going on a pilgrimage to see if
Lincoln would not give him work.
The
Mayor sent an officer to see whether he would be sent free, and after ascertaining that he would be forwarded, ordered him to be confined in jail till yesterday evening, and then to be put on board the cars.
The party in this instance had received a fine education, as he could write splendidly, and express himself grammatically. --
Geo. Kerr, for assaulting
Morris Dennis yesterday morning, was required to give surety for his good behavior, and the case was sent before the
Grand Jury, which meets on the 2d Monday in May.
