Sent to jail.
--
Michael Sullivan was brought before the
Mayor on Saturday for being in possession of a number of cotton-bags belonging to
R. H. Dibrell, supposed to have been stolen; also a lot of pig metal, copper, and old iron, supposed to have been stolen from some unknown person.
The defendant did not account for the possession of the articles, and a witness being introduced who identified a portion of the copper as that used in making Confederate
percussion caps, he was committed for a further hearing.
A witness in behalf of
Mr. Dibrell proved that he lost annually about 2,000 bags by rogues.--
Wm. McMillan, a member of the
Latrobe Artillery, was sent to jail, to be called for by his officer.
It appeared that
McMillan was far better acquainted with the look-up than with artillery practice.--
John Taylor, charged with exposing his person in the street, was committed for want of security for his good behavior.
