Cow thief.

--James King, a fellow of suspicious appearance, was captured at the first market last Friday morning, by Mr. Sam. Ellis, for selling a fine milch cow supposed to have been stolen. Yesterday morning the facts came to light that King stole the cow from Mr. John Stewart, of Henrico, brought her to Richmond and sold her to Mr. C. Labor; but that Mr. L., suspecting all was not right, reported his impressions to Mr. Ellis, who arrested the accused. King will be examined for the offence at the next term of the County Court of Henrico.
