The Mayor had a few trivial cases before him last Saturday, but nothing of any importance. Frances Gilliam, a free negress without papers, was arrested in the Theatre for sitting with white women, and Sarah Tucker, a white girl, was arrested for carrying Frances Gilliam, a negress, to the Theatre with her. Gilliam was ordered to get her papers at the Hustings Court, and Tucker was held to bail for good behavior. Miss Sawyer, for exhibiting Maj. Vorhines, a dwarf, at the corner of 1st and Broad sts, without a city license, was fined.
