Not proved.

--Richard H. Jackson, for many years a grocer in this city, appeared before the Mayor last Saturday to answer the charge of stealing $33 from Patrick Quinn, on the 12th inst. Quinn stated that he purchased $2 worth of whiskey of Jackson, and after paying for it accidentally left his pocket-book and money on the counter. After an absence of fifteen minutes he returned to the grocery and demanded his money, but failed to get it.--Jackson proved by one witness that Quinn was partially intoxicated when he came into his store; that he had no pocket-book in his hand when he paid for the whiskey; and that if he left his money on the counter, as alleged, there were a number of persons passing in and out of the house, who could readily have taken it. The Mayor discharged the accused.
