Mayor's Court.

Patrick Sharry, arrested for assaulting Richard Wright, on Main street, Wednesday night, was committed in default of surety to keep the peace. Charles Muller, who interfered with and resisted the watchmen on the occasion of Sharry's arrest, was sent to keep him company. The parties were burly, rough, and determined looking subjects.

John Gold was brought up for declaring himself a subject of Lincoln, and expressing the hope and belief that the Stars and Stripes might soon wave over Richmond as they once had done. Elias Paulding, an ugly, brutish looking fellow, on his ‘"pal's"’ arrest declared the same sentiments, and was taken along by two gentlemen who heard their treasonable discourse at Ford's, on Cary street. Singular to say, the fellow, Gold, is a discharged member of the Polish Brigade. The Mayor told the parties that they had now gotten where no certificate of disability could release them. They were sent to jail.

William W. Wood was required to give $200 for being inebriated in the streets and making an attempt to shoot one of the watch men. Wood was also required to find surety to answer an indictment for carrying concealed weapons.
