chmond, April 16, 1864. To the Honorable Council of the City of Richmond: Messrs: I desire to call the attention of your honorable body to the fact that Shockoe Creek has left its boundary, and has done great damage to private property, as well as washed away a street — I believe 15th street. I hope your body will take steps to have the stream placed in its old boundary, as my houses are about to wash away, and the tenants have already left for fear of the falling of the houses. Your ob't serv't, Miles Ambler. Mr. Haskins did not see how the evil could be remedied, as the current of the stream was changed by every fresh that took place. Upon a motion to refer the petition to the Committee on Streets, Mr. Epps said he could not see why it should be so disposed of, as that committee was certainly not appointed to legislate upon creeks. After some further remarks a motion was adopted to lay the petition on the table. On motion, the Council adjourned.

Robert W. Starke, who was up on Friday for drunkenness, again made his appearance on a similar charge. The Mayor required him to give security to keep the peace for twelve months. Frances Loving, who appeared on Friday under the name of Frances Smith, was again up for drunkenness. Policeman Epps testified that he found her lying in a perfectly helpless condition upon the street, with a bottle of whisky by her side. She stated that she was "violent sick," and only took two drums by the advice of a physician. Having given the Mayor a solemn promise not to appear again before him, and in consideration of the fact that a protracted imprisonment might prove fatal to her, she was discharged. John Welch, charged with making an assault upon his wife, was called; but, failing to appear
