Pardon.
--The Governor has pardoned a lad named John Robinson, recently sent to the Penitentiary from Augusta county, under sentence of four years, for burglary.
Hen-Roost robbed.
--Mrs. King, who lives near Fulton Hill, in Henrico, and whose husband is at Manassas, had her hen house broken open last Sunday night by rogues, who stole all her poultry, consisting of turkeys, hens, and guinea fowls.
Constable Thomas, of Henrico, traced the robbery to Moses and Charles, slaves of J. D. Quarles.
On examining the house occupied by the prisoners, he succeeded in finding the turkeys and restored them to their owner, although they were minus their caudal appendages.
The other fowls could not be found, having been sent to market early next morning, no doubt, by the rogues.
While searching for the fowls the Constable came across John Robinson, of Charles City county, a free negro of desperate bad character, who has served two terms in the penitentiary, amounting to fifteen years. He was taken into custody and lodged in jail.
The other boys were brought before Justice Duke, who ordered them each 39 lashes.
