Virginia Copeland was punished for failing to return to Norfolk, her home, after being commanded to do so several times. Chas. Goven, alias Cotten, was sent to jail for intoxication. Abraham and Moses, slaves of Wm. Triplett, were smitten with the rod of correction for stealing a ham of bacon belonging to a slave of Jos. Myers.
