Mayor's Court, yesterday.
--The case of
C. Y. Morriss, charged with causing a nuisance on the lot of the
Baltimore Steamship Company, was continued to Monday, to afford the accused time to remove the obstructions complained of.
David Turner, accused of being drunk and staggering on the streets, was discharged; and so was David Roue, arrested on a like charge.
B. J. Teahan, who came up with the most frightful face we ever saw — clotted with blood, one eye closed up entirely, and looking like a one-sided Cyclops, his remaining eye not being located just where the forgers of thunderbolts are said to have had theirs — was committed to jail.
His offence was being drunk and lying on a sidewalk.
Elizabeth W. Hill, a free negress from King William, was brought up on the charge of being out of her proper locality.
She claimed to be waiting on the sick soldiers at one of the city hospitals; and His Honor, thinking this a good plea in mitigation of her offence, continued the case till this morning.
So also he did the case of
Charles Thurston, charged with assault and battery upon
Peter Dickinson.
So also the case of
Ellen Kennedy and Miss Long, charged with assaulting and beating
Mary Donahoe.
The case of
Charles Riddell and
John T. Smith, accused of stealing a horse and buggy belonging to
Davis &
Hutchison, came up again.
Riddell proved that he got into the buggy some time after it was stolen, and was accordingly discharged, His Honor, however, first giving him some good advice.
John T. Smith was remanded to jail, to be forthcoming on the 17th instant, when a called session of the Hustings Court will be held for the examination of
Smith on the charge of felony, and the witnesses were recognized in $300 each to appear before the said court at the same time.
The case of
Julia Washman, charged with selling ardent spirits to a slave without the permission of his owner, was dismissed; but her bar-keeper was recognized to appear before the Hustings Court in November next, to give evidence as to whether the said lady really keeps an ordinary such as her license contemplated, or merely a drinking-house.
"
Jacob Rice was fined $10 for having his house, where ardent spirits are usually sold, open on Sunday last.
