Mayor's Court, yesterday.

Sam. Campbell, charged with feloniously entering R. H. Dobbins's house and stealing a piece of cloth and other articles, was acquitted it appearing that Campbell had been put into the premises by D. as his agent to sell everything and take a portion of the property as his profits. If he chose to take all, D. could not justly accuse him of larceny — so the Mayor ruled.

James and John Barry, white lads, were committed for examination on the second Monday in March, for feloniously cutting Henry Ross in the left breast with a dirk knife.

James W. Cov, for certain eccentricities of conduct, involving a breach of the peace committed at Metropolitan Hall, Tuesday night, was sent to jail.

Albert Parham, free negro, and a graduate of the Penitentiary, having been found roaming at large, was sent to jail by the Mayor, to be returned to his old home for the third time Albert's chances appeared to be bad; but wherefore, the evidence adduced did not disclose.

R. E. Butler, a discharged soldier and former sentinel at Chimborazo Hospital, was sent to jail for making violent threats to end August Friend's life. The latter was supposed (as sergeant of the guard) to have had something to do with Butler's exodus from his profitable post as sentinel.
