Mayor's Court.
--A number of cases of a comparatively unimportant character were disposed of by the
Mayor on yesterday, a list of which we append:
‘
James Clarke, arrested on suspicion of being one of the parties who knocked down and robbed
Mr. F. J. Gardner, was arraingned for examination.
Mr. Gardner did not identify him as one of the men who attacked him, and he was let off on that charge.
Information having been given to the
Mayor that
Clarke had assisted to relieve
Louis Antone of $75, an offence in whose commission he was aided by
Fontaine Rowe, the witness was introduced and positively identiliod
Clarke as
Rowe's companion.
The latter has been in the
State's prison for several months, having been sent up for three years for his participation in the offence.
The new case against
Clarke was continued, and he remanded to jail.
John J. Allbone, arraigned for drawing a pistol on some unknown person in the street, proved that the arm was not loaded; that he was ‘"sky-larking"’ and corned at the time.
Discharged with an admonition.
Jas. J. Macklin, arrested for threats to set fire to Franklin Hall, was discharged, proving to have been drunk at the time, and generally a trifling fellow.
He pretended on the night of his arrest to have belonged to the
New Market Club in
Baltimore, when the truth was he belonged to
Clarksville, Va., and had never seen the
Monumental city in his life.
Coley, slave of
P. H. Aylett, hired to
Washington King, was ordered 15 lashes for stoning the residence of
Adolphus Tyree, and breaking thirty-two window panes attached thereto.
Cyrus Winston, slave of
John Thacker, was remanded for trial before the Hustings Court, for feloniously cutting
Wm. Burnett's hand, in the
Second Market, while the latter had him in custody for stealing a piece of meat from
John Jaiser.
He was ordered 25 lashes for the latter offence.
