Hustings Court, Recorder Caskie Presiding.

--In this Court yesterday the following cases were disposed of:

Antonio Samuel, charged with stealing a lot of papers and money from John J. Palmer's coat pocket, and eleven thousand dollars from an iron safe belonging to Smith, Baily & Co, proprietors of the Sentinel newspaper, was examined and sent on in both cases for trial before Judge Lyons.

Two negroes, named Dick, slave R. T. Alvey, and Daniel, slave of A. E. Etlett, charged with robbing Hammond Gearding of a valuable lot of brandy, groceries and money, were discharged.

Bent slave of John H. Gentry, charged with burglariously entering the house of Mrs. L. V. Meyer and stealing therefrom several thousand dollars in money, jewelry, and wearing apparel, was acquitted of the charge of burglary, but ordered to receive thirty-nine lashes for intruding upon Mrs. M.'s premises, after repeated warnings to keep away. Four of the Magistrates were in favor of convicting Ben of burglary, the punishment for which is death; but the fifth one refused to give his assent to such a verdict.

Eliza, slave of William N. Gary, was examined and ordered to be whipped, she being convicted of stealing four dresses from the house of Mrs. Wm. Tyree.

The Court then adjourned till 11 o'clock this morning.
