Mayor's Court.
--The following cases were disposed of by the
Mayor yesterday:
James Caulfield, of
Baltimore, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and drawing a pistol on
officer Moore, who attempted to arrest him, was held to security for his good behavior in the sum of $500. About half-past 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
Caulfield, while in a state of intoxication, conducted himself very disorderly in the neighborhood of the
Second Market, which behavior led to his arrest by the policeman, who, being unable to support his weight, called a wagon and put him in it to be carried to the station-house.
On arriving there a large crowd collected, and while C. was alighting he drew from his pocket a revolver and inquired for the officer who arrested him; whereupon
Moore, who was standing by, seized on to the weapon and wrenched it from his hand, when it exploded, without doing any injury.
For the defence, it was stated that the accused was a special messenger for the
Government, and having just returned from a long and fatiguing journey he took three or four drinks to revive his exhausted condition.
A negro fellow named Sam, slave of
Milton Lackey, was ordered to be whipped, on the charge of being out of track after hours and a suspicious character.
Officer Cousins found Sam on the street at two o'clock yesterday morning.
He was without a pass, and carried in his hand a coil of rope, in one end of which was a noose, one bag, and a stone weighing about two pounds, about which he could give no account.
N. G. Turnley was fined $20 for permitting his servant woman,
Elizabeth, to go at large.
