Mayor's Court, yesterday--

--Recorder Caskie presiding.--In this court, yesterday, no case worthy of elaboration was brought forward, and we only append a brief summary: W. B. Sims, a tailor, living on Second street, was fined $20 for dealing with a slave without permission from his owner; a similar fine was imposed upon James Moore for permitting his slave to go at large; John H. Metior was also fined $20 for selling liquor without a license; William Spicer, charged with stealing a cow from Dr. John R. Garnett, of Henrico, was remanded to the custody of the officers to be taken before a county justice for examination, the offence having been committed beyond the limits of the city; about one dozen negroes were ordered to be whipped for a variety of delinquencies charged against them.
